Pirates rally in seventh to beat PhilliesBaseball Betting Lines07/04/2010 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Garrett Jones knocked in three runs and Delwyn Young struck a key blow with a pinch-hit two-run double as Pittsburgh used a late burst of offense to down Philadelphia, 8-5, in the finale of a four-game set from PNC Park. Pedro Alvarez homered and drove in two runs for the Pirates, who won three of four in the series. Evan Meek (4-2) picked up the win after hurling a perfect seventh inning in relief. Octavio Dotel, who picked up his 19th save, locked down all three Pittsburgh wins in this battle of Pennsylvania clubs. Raul Ibanez collected two hits and drove in a run, while Dane Sardinha homered among his pair of hits for the Phillies, who stumbled to their fifth loss in seven. Jose Contreras (3-3) took the loss and was charged with a blown save after yielding two hits and three runs while retiring just one batter. The Pirates forged ahead with a six-run seventh. Alvarez got the rally going with a leadoff homer, Ryan Doumit followed with a single and Ryan Church doubled. After Ronny Cedeno struck out, Contreras came in for starter Joe Blanton. Young greeted the reliever with a pinch-hit, two-run double and Jose Tabata added a game-tying RBI single. Later in the inning, with runners on second and third, Mike Zagurski was summoned and allowed a two-run single from Jones to make it 8-5 for the Bucs. Joel Hanrahan turned in a scoreless eighth and Dotel had an easy time in the ninth to lock up the win. Pittsburgh picked up two runs in the first on a Jones groundout and RBI single by Alvarez. Philly responded with a single run in the second as Ben Francisco doubled, moved up on a groundout and scored on a Wilson Valdez grounder. In the third, the Phils put up three as Blanton singled, Shane Victorino doubled with one out and Ibanez singled in the starter. Ryan Howard followed with a sac fly then Greg Dobbs hit a two-out, run-scoring double. Sardinha's leadoff homer in the seventh put the visitors up 5-2 and signaled starter Jeff Karstens' exit. Evan Meek shut the door for the remainder of the frame.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino. The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1. MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5. Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
