Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Adam Rosales hit a solo homer and Vin
Mazzaro tossed 7 1/3 solid innings, as the Oakland Athletics earned a 3-1 win
over the Cleveland Indians in the rubber match of a three-game series at
Progressive Field.
Mark Ellis went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and Ryan Sweeney also knocked in a
run for Oakland, which has won seven of its last nine.
Mazzaro (4-2) allowed one run on seven hits with one walk and struck out
seven. Andrew Bailey threw a scoreless ninth to record his 17th save of the
season.
Austin Kearns accounted for the lone run with an RBI single for the Indians,
who had won six of seven entering the contest. Jhonny Peralta and Trevor Crowe
each had a pair of hits in defeat.
Fausto Carmona (7-7) was the hard-luck loser for yielding seven hits and three
runs over seven frames. The right-hander, who was selected to the 81st All-
Star Game earlier on Sunday, walked three and struck out three.
Oakland opened the scoring in the first on Sweeney's RBI groundout that
brought in Coco Crisp.
Cleveland then tied it with a two-out run in the third. With runners on the
corners, Kearns grounded a single through the left side that scored Carlos
Santana, who started the rally with a base hit.
Ellis put the Athletics back in front with a run-scoring single in the fourth
and Rosales belted his homer to left in the seventh make it a 3-1 game.
Tony Sipp took over for Carmona in the top of the eighth and worked out of
some two-out trouble. Meanwhile, Mazzaro retired 11 straight hitters, but
served up a one-out double to Jayson Nix in the home eighth and was replaced
by Jerry Blevins. The left-hander came on and fanned Santana and set down
Travis Hafner to end the inning.
In the bottom of the ninth, Bailey gave up a one-out single to Peralta before
getting Matt LaPorta to bounce into a 5-4-3 double play to preserve the
victory.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
