Paulino lifts Marlins to series win over Rockies

Baseball Betting Lines

07/22/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ronny Paulino knocked in the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth to give the Marlins a 3-2 win to finish out a four- game series with the Rockies.

Emilio Bonifacio tripled to deep center over the head of Dexter Fowler to start the inning, and Paulino promptly punched the game-winning hit to shallow right as the Marlins took three out of four in the series.

Josh Johnson continued his strong run despite receiving a no-decision, striking out 11 in 6 1/3 innings and yielding just one run on five hits with a single walk.

Leo Nunez (4-2) struck out the side in the top of the ninth and received the win, while Gaby Sanchez provided a pair of hits and drove in a run.

Jhoulys Chacin (5-8) was saddled with the loss, walking two and giving up two hits while failing to record an out. Jason Giambi's RBI single tied it in the eighth for Colorado, which lost for the sixth time in eight games.

Jorge De La Rosa made an encouraging start after two clunkers, holding the Fish to three hits and two runs with eight strikeouts in six innings.

It didn't start out that way, though, after De La Rosa walked Chris Coghlan to start the game and Sanchez doubled to left-center two batters later for a 1-0 lead.

Ian Stewart evened the score with a solo shot to right-center in the second inning, but Cody Ross got the run right back with a leadoff blast to left in the Marlins' next at-bat.

Things settled down from there as both starters worked effectively through the middle frames until Johnson ran into a spot of trouble in the seventh.

After Stewart struck out to start the inning, Ryan Spilborghs doubled, and Miguel Olivo's base hit left runners at the corners. Jose Veras came in and fanned Clint Barmes, but Brad Hawpe drew a pinch-hit walk to load the bases.

Seth Smith lined back to Veras to end the inning, but Clay Hensley entered in the eighth and coughed up the narrow lead. Jonathan Herrera doubled leading off, and Giambi lined a single to center for a 2-2 game.

Hensley settled down to induce a 6-4-3 double-play from Stewart after plunking Melvin Mora, and Spilborghs grounded out to end the inning. Coghlan singled off Joe Beimel to begin the Florida eighth, but Rafael Betancourt came on to get Dan Uggla on a fly out to strand Coghlan at second.

Game Notes

Johnson, the major league's leader in earned run average at 1.61 after Thursday's start, was seeking a third straight win and has allowed just two runs over his last four starts totaling 26 1/3 innings. The right-hander hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his last 13 starts...The Rockies took two of three from the Marlins at home from April 24-25...Giambi and Spilborghs had two hits apiece for Colorado.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 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 2008 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)
