Glaus' walk-off shot gives Cards the win
Baseball Betting Lines
07/03/2008 -
St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Troy Glaus drilled two home runs, including
the game-winning solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals an 8-7 win over the New York Mets in the third meeting of a
four-game set.
Glaus finished with four RBI, while Rick Ankiel homered and drove in a pair in
the Cardinals' fourth win in their last five games. Chris Duncan drilled a
pinch-hit, two-run long ball to tie the game in the eighth for the victors.
Glaus' blast made a winner of Ryan Franklin (3-2), who tossed a perfect ninth.
Starter Joel Pineiro was bounced around for 11 hits and four runs in five
innings of work for St. Louis.
Carlos Muniz (0-1) was saddled with the loss after surrendering the ninth-
inning home run, and Pedro Martinez took a no-decision after allowing five
runs on seven hits through five innings with four strikeouts and a walk.
Jose Reyes, David Wright and Damion Easley each tallied three hits for the
Mets, with Easley bringing in three runs in defeat for the Mets, who have
dropped two of the first three games of the series.
After Duncan's two-run homer tied the game in the eighth, Glaus sent the
Cardinals faithful home happy, slamming Muniz's payoff pitch over the wall in
left for his 13th home run of the season.
A four-run first put the Mets in the hole early, as Skip Schumaker and Aaron
Miles recorded back-to-back singles off Martinez to start the game. After
Ankiel's one-out RBI single, Glaus powered a shot over the wall in center for
a three-run homer to cap the big inning.
New York came back with a three-spot in the third behind an RBI double up the
middle from Carlos Beltran and a two-out, bases-loaded single to left-center
by Easley.
The visitors tied it up an inning later when Schumaker air-mailed a
throw home on an attempted throw home to nab Jose Reyes, who tripled and
scored on the error.
A 47-minute rain delay in the middle of the third seemed to settle Martinez
down, but in the fifth Ankiel took a 1-1 offering of his into the right field
seats to give the Cardinals a 5-4 lead.
With the one-run lead Kyle McClellan walked Wright and got Beltran to pop out
before Mark Mulder was called upon in the seventh. Ryan Church blooped a
single to left and a wild pitch put a pair in scoring position for Carlos
Delgado, who came through with an RBI single up the middle to tie the game at
five.
Easley lofted a sacrifice fly to left for the go-ahead run, and with runners
on first and second, pinch-hitter Fernando Tatis singled in front of a diving
Ryan Ludwick in right to bring in a run and give the Mets a 7-5 lead.
The lead didn't hold, however, as Aaron Heilman was pulled after hitting
Ludwick with a pitch to start the home eighth. Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa
called upon Duncan to pinch-hit, and the reserve turned on Pedro Feliciano's
first offering and placed it in the right field seats to tie the game.

MySportsbook.com betting odds favor Europe in 2007 Ryder Cup
September 19, 2007 – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current betting odds on the 2007 Ryder Cup favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2007 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2007 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1
Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
