Baseball Betting Lines
07/28/2010 -
San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andres Torres capped his four-hit day
with a deep bases-loaded single in the 10th inning, lifting the Giants to a
10-9 win over the Florida Marlins at AT&T Park.
Torres added a two-run homer and Juan Uribe had three hits and drove in four
runs for San Francisco, which is putting pressure on NL West-leading San Diego
by winning six of its last seven games. Buster Posey extended his hitting
streak to 21 games for the Giants, who won despite blowing a 9-2 lead after
six innings.
Dan Uggla homered for the sixth time in as many games and tied the contest
with an RBI double with two outs in the ninth inning. He has 143 homers for
his career, tying the Marlins team record set by Mike Lowell. Pinch-hitter
Donnie Murphy added a three-run homer and Ronny Paulino clubbed a solo shot
for the Marlins.
Hanley Ramirez singled and Logan Morrison doubled with one out in the ninth
inning. A groundout by Gaby Sanchez scored Ramirez with two outs. Uggla,
facing a 3-2 count against closer Brian Wilson, slugged a ground-rule double
to the gap in left-center field. Pinch-hitter Wes Helms struck out swinging to
end the inning.
The Giants had a rally thwarted in the bottom of the ninth after putting two
men on base, but capitalized in the 10th against Clay Hensley (1-4). Aaron
Rowand singled to left field and Edgar Renteria followed by hitting a ball
that bounced off the chest of third baseman Murphy. Nate Schierholtz singled
sharply to right field and Torres followed by taking the first pitch deep to
left-center field to end the game.
Jonathan Sanchez was charged with seven hits and five runs over six-plus
innings, but fanned seven batters in the start for the Giants. Chris Ray (2-0)
picked up the victory by retiring the side in order in the top of the 10th.
Florida's Alex Sanabia was shelled for nine hits and seven runs over two-plus
innings.
The Giants totaled six hits in the first inning, including RBI singles from
Aubrey Huff and Rowand, and a two-run base hit from Uribe.
Morrison doubled in Ramirez in the third, but the Giants got a two-run triple
from Uribe in the bottom of the frame, and he then scored on a Jorge Sosa wild
pitch.
Paulino homered in the fourth, but Torres went deep in the sixth to provide
the 9-2 margin.
Murphy homered off Sanchez in the seventh, and Uggla went deep against Denny
Bautista later in the inning to get the visitors within 9-7.
Game Notes
The Giants have won 18 games so far this month and with two more victories,
they'll have their first 20-win month since September 2000...Posey's streak is
the second-longest by a rookie in San Francisco-era history behind Hall of
Famer Willie McCovey's 22-gamer in 1959. Benito Santiago holds the major
league rookie record for hitting safely in 34 straight games in 1987. The
longest consecutive game hitting streak in San Francisco era history (since
1958) is held by Jack Clark, who hit safely in 26 games in 1978...San
Francisco swept a three-game set from the Marlins earlier in the year and
has won seven of the last nine meetings in the series.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – 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 Ryder Cup betting odds 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.
