Young southpaw Bumgarner leads Giants over Brewers
Baseball Betting Lines
07/06/2010 -
Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Madison Bumgarner pitched eight shutout
innings to get his first major league win, as the San Francisco Giants beat
the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-1, in the continuation of a four-game series.
Bumgarner (1-2), the 10th overall pick in the 2007 draft, was making his
fourth career start and third of the season. The 20-year-old left-hander
limited the Brewers to three hits and three walks, and struck out five in the
victory.
Bumgarner also added his first career RBI in the sixth inning, when the Giants
took advantage of a Milwaukee fielding miscue and scored five runs. Travis
Ishikawa had a two-run single for San Francisco, which was coming off a win in
Monday's series-opener. It is the first time the Giants have won two in a row
since June 20 and 22.
Randy Wolf (6-8) gave up five runs -- only one earned -- in seven innings and
took the loss for the Brewers, who have dropped three in a row. Corey Hart had
his 20-game hitting streak broken after going 0-for-4.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
