Byrd stars again as Rangers hold off Yankees
Baseball Betting Lines
08/06/2008 -
Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Marlon Byrd went 3-for-4 and scored three
times while Chris Davis drove in four runs, as the Texas Rangers staved off a
late comeback to edge the New York Yankees, 8-6, in the second installment of
a four-game set.
Josh Hamilton chipped in a two-run homer for the Rangers, who have won three
in a row and six of eight overall. David Murphy and Travis Metcalf drove in a
run each in the win.
Matt Harrison (3-2) lasted 6 1/3 innings and gave up just two runs on five
hits. Eddie Guardado worked around a leadoff walk to Derek Jeter in the ninth
to secure his third save of the season.
Richie Sexson had a double and a grand slam for the Yankees, who have dropped
two straight. Jeter and Johnny Damon knocked in a run each in defeat.
Andy Pettitte (12-9) took the loss as he surrendered five runs on six hits in
five-plus innings. Pettitte also struck out five and walked three as the
Yanks fell 6 1/2 games behind the first-place Rays in the AL East.
Down by six, the visitors rallied in the eighth inning off C.J. Wilson. The
bases were loaded as Bobby Abreu walked, Alex Rodriguez was hit by a pitch and
Robinson Cano drew a walk. Sexson brought them all home, depositing the second
pitch he saw to the seats in left-center field, notching his first homer as a
Yankee, and pulling the team within 8-6.
It was all for naught, though, as the Yankees failed to pull any closer in the
ninth.
Michael Young worked a two-out walk in the home first, moved up on a wild
pitch and scored on Hamilton's 27th homer of the season, a two-run shot.
Brandon Boggs led off the third with a triple and Metcalf hit a grounder to
Cano, who couldn't field the ball, allowing the runner to score. Metcalf was
later credited with an RBI.
Byrd opened the home fourth with a single and stole second base. Murphy's
ground out moved the runner to third before Boggs walked and Davis offered a
sacrifice fly to left to plate Byrd, making it 4-0.
Damon led off the sixth with a triple to deep right field and Jeter put New
York on the board with a sac fly.
The Rangers got the run back in the home sixth, though. Byrd led off with a
single and nabbed second. A Murphy base hit to right scored Byrd, put Texas up
5-1 and chased Pettitte in favor of David Robertson. He loaded the bases but
got out of the jam when Ian Kinsler swung and missed on a 3-2 pitch for the
second out and Gerald Laird whiffed to end the threat.
Cano was issued a one-out walk in the seventh and Sexson made it second and
third with a double. Josh Rupe then came on in relief and walked pinch-hitter
Jason Giambi to load the bases. Pinch-hitter Melky Cabrera popped up for the
second out, but Damon was walked to force in Cano and make it 5-2.
The Rangers added three more runs in the home half as Byrd started a two-out
rally with a walk. Murphy put runners on the corners with a single and
Brian Bruney was then called in. Boggs was issued a walk to load the bases and
Davis kept it going with a bases-clearing double, ballooning Texas' lead to
8-2.

matter, he is expected to return for his start Saturday in Baltimore...Texas'
Milton Bradley missed his seventh straight game with a strained left
quadriceps...Yankees leftfielder Hideki Matsui, who has been out since June

four of five from the Yankees this season.

MySportsbook.com Posts Odds on 2007 Heisman Trophy
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best odds of winning the 2007 Heisman Trophy at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds for the 2007 Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
Michael Bush (RB, Louisville)
Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia)
Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville)
Chris Leak (QB, Florida)

Online Sportsbook odds for Stanley Cup
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.
