Dodgers down Marlins at Chavez Ravine

Baseball Betting Lines

07/07/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier and Casey Blake homered to back the solid pitching of Vicente Padilla as the Los Angeles Dodgers took down the Florida Marlins, 7-3, in the middle portion of a three- game series.

Rafael Furcal ran his hit streak to 10 games and drove in three runs as the Dodgers won for the sixth time in eight contests. He has scored a run in 12 straight games, an LA Dodgers record. Furcal tied Gil Hodges 12-game streak from June 2-14, 1953, when the franchise was in Brooklyn.

Padilla (3-2) had a season-high nine strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings to win his second straight start. The right-hander was charged with six hits and two runs.

"Vicente was great, he kept throwing strikes," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. "Everybody was making a contribution. We're playing with a lot of confidence right now."

Chris Volstad (4-8) permitted five hits and five runs over three-plus innings and has just one victory in his last 11 starts. He was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans following the game.

"I fell behind hitter and only half of my pitches were for strikes," Volstad said. "It's tough to be sent down, but there's stuff I need to do better."

Mike Stanton clubbed a two-run homer in the seventh inning and knocked in all three runs for Florida, which had won its previous two games.

Furcal singled in Russell Martin and Blake DeWitt in the second inning. Furcal then stole second before Kemp homered to left field for a 4-0 lead.

Blake homered with one out the following inning and it became 6-0 on Ethier's lead-off blast to right in the fifth.

Stanton went deep with Cody Ross on base in the seventh, but Furcal knocked in DeWitt with a base hit in the eighth for a 7-2 difference.

Stanton singled in Dan Uggla in the ninth. With runners on first and second and one out, Jonathan Broxton entered from the bullpen and retired pinch- hitter Wes Helms on a fly ball to center field. Chris Coghlan then grounded out to end the game, giving Broxton his 18th save.

Game Notes

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.

Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.

According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).

Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.

''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
    
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.

Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.

''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''

Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
   
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.

”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
   
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
