Atkins lifts Rockies past Reds

Baseball Betting Lines

06/04/2007 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Garrett Atkins singled in the game-winning run in the 10th inning, as the Colorado Rockies stormed back to down the Cincinnati Reds, 10-9, in the finale of a three-game series at Coors Field.

Brad Hawpe and Kazuo Matsui each drove in three runs for Colorado, which has won two in a row.

Brandon Phillips hit a three-run homer for the Reds, who have lost three of four. Cincinnati owned an 8-2 lead in this one, but was unable to hold on.

Victor Santos (1-1) was charged with the loss, while Manny Corpas (2-2) picked up the victory after tossing a scoreless 10th.

The Rockies scored seven unanswered runs late in the game to overcome a six- run hole and move in front.

Run-scoring singles by Yorvit Torrealba and Jamey Carroll sliced the St. Louis lead to 8-4. Colorado then loaded the bases in the seventh with two outs before Hawpe drew a walk to push a run across.

Four more runs in the eighth gave the Rockies the lead. Carroll, Jeff Baker and Willy Taveras hit consecutive singles to load up the bases for Matsui, who tripled to right to clear the bases and tie the game.

Three batters later, Hawpe came through with a base hit to center that brought in the go-ahead run.

The Reds tied it in the ninth on a Jeff Conine RBI single to force extra innings.

The Rockies had the final say, however. Matsui started the bottom of the 10th with a single, then advanced to second on a throwing error. Matt Holliday struck out swinging and Todd Helton was intentionally walked before Atkins came up and slapped a single to left to end the game.

Rodrigo Lopez got the start for Colorado and allowed four runs -- three earned -- over 4 1/3 innings. His opponent, Matt Belisle, yielded five runs over 6 2/3 frames.

Cincinnati put up a pair of runs in the second to forge ahead. DeWayne Wise knocked in a run with his triple to right, then scored a batter later on a Chad Moeller bunt.

Atkins countered with a solo homer in the home-half of the second, and Hawpe's run-scoring double in the fourth tied it at 2-2.

The Reds, though erupted for six straight runs to establish an 8-2 lead.

With the bases loaded and one out in the fifth, Juan Castro sacrificed and reached second on Holliday's fielding error, scoring Edwin Encarnacion and Alex Gonzalez.

Encarnacion made it 5-2 in the sixth with a double that brought in Norris Hopper and put runners on second and third. Phillips then stepped in and cracked a three- run homer to right-center.

Game Notes

Gonzalez left the game with a right hamstring strain...The Rockies outhit the Reds, 17-16...The Rockies committed two errors to the Reds' one error.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

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 Heisman Trophy odds 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 Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
