A-Ram leads Cubs over D'Backs

Baseball Betting Lines

07/07/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aramis Ramirez belted a pair of two-run homers, and the Chicago Cubs secured back-to-back road wins for the first time since late May with a 6-4 decision over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the middle installment of a three-game series.

Ramirez, who came into Tuesday hitting .178, went deep off starter Barry Enright in the sixth inning and Aaron Heilman in the eighth as the Cubs posted consecutive victories for the first time since June 16-17 vs. Oakland. They hadn't won two in a row on the road since May 22-23 against Texas, which was their last road series triumph.

Kosuke Fukudome hit a solo homer for the Cubs, who moved to 9-2 against National League West competition this season. Chicago is 28-45 against all other foes. Tuesday's result also gave the Cubs their first series win at Chase Field since August 22-24, 2003 when the club won two of three games.

Carlos Silva (9-2) gave up four hits and a pair of runs over six innings to snap a four-start winless skid. He's 5-0 on the road this season. Carlos Marmol pitched the final 1 2/3 innings for his 16th save.

Kelly Johnson homered for the Diamondbacks, who lost their fourth in a row. Enright (1-1) was charged with seven hits and three runs over 5 2/3 innings in his second major league appearance.

Stephen Drew's sacrifice fly gave the Diamondbacks an early lead in the second inning, but they failed to add to that despite having runners at the corners and nobody out in the fourth as Mark Reynolds struck out and Adam LaRoche grounded into a double play.

Fukudome homered to right leading off the sixth. Derrek Lee doubled later in the inning and scored on a Ramirez longball to left-center.

Johnson's homer to center in the bottom of the inning had the Diamondbacks within 3-2, but Ryan Theriot singled in Geovany Soto in the seventh. Ramirez then made it 6-2 in the eighth. Tyler Colvin walked to start the inning and Ramirez then crushed a homer to left.

Johnson and Justin Upton singled in runs in the bottom of the eighth, but with two runners on base, Miguel Montero and Reynolds both struck out to keep Chicago ahead.

LaRoche struck out to start the ninth, but made it to first on a wild pitch. Marmol retired the next three batters.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
