A-Rod continues quest for 600 vs. Indians
Baseball Betting Lines
07/27/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees used the long ball to come through
with a win over the Cleveland Indians last night, but none came off the bat of
Alex Rodriguez.
With their star slugger still stuck on 599 career home runs, the Yankees vie
for a second straight victory in this four-game series when the defending
world champions return to Progressive Field this evening.
Rodriguez failed in his attempt to become the seventh player in major league
history to reach the 600-homer milestone in Monday's opener of this set, but
the Yankees did receive round-trippers from Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher
in their 3-2 triumph over the Indians. Granderson's shot, a two-run blast off
Tribe starter Jake Westbrook in the top of the eighth inning, erased a 2-1
deficit and helped give New York its fifth win in its last six contests.
Westbrook (6-7) had limited the Yankees' potent offense to one run over the
first seven innings, but gave up a leadoff single to Jorge Posada in the
eighth and Granderson followed with a deep drive into the right-field seats to
put New York ahead.
"I don't know exactly [about] the location," said Westbrook of the pitch. "I
mean, [Granderson's] a good low-ball hitter and that's what I'm trying to do
is keep the ball down and get a double play -- and he hit a homer."
Granderson's homer also made a winner out of Javier Vazquez (9-7) after the
Yankee starter held Cleveland to two runs and five hits over seven innings.
Mariano Rivera protected the lead with a scoreless ninth to notch his 21st
save of the year.
Rodriguez finished 0-for-4 and has now gone four games since hitting career
homer No. 599 in a win over Kansas City last Thursday. The three-time American
League MVP will continue his quest tonight, when he'll also be celebrating his
35th birthday.
"I'm not really concerned about it," said Rodriguez of reaching the mark.
"It's going to come whether it's this week, or next week or next month. The
important thing for me is to stay within the game, take my walks. It all comes
back to the same fundamentals."
Rodriguez, as well as the rest of his Yankee teammates, will be going up
against an unfamiliar opponent this evening, with the Indians tabbing Josh
Tomlin to make his first major league start. The young right-hander will be
taking the rotation spot of Aaron Laffey, placed on the disabled list last
week due to a fatigued left shoulder.
Tomlin earned tonight's assignment by compiling an 8-4 record over 20
appearances (17 starts) with Triple-A Columbus, and his 2.68 earned run
average currently ranks second-best in the International League. The 25-year-
old has been a consistent winner after since being selected by the Tribe in
the 19th round of the 2006 draft, having gone 51-24 over five seasons in the
minors.
The Yankees bring a far more experienced pitcher into the fray tonight, with
former Indians star CC Sabathia set to take on his original team. The All-Star
southpaw will be taking aim at his 150th career victory when he takes the
mound, in addition to trying to become the AL's first 14-game winner of the
season.
Sabathia is tied with Tampa Bay's David Price for the league lead in wins and
enters tonight's game having come out on top in each of his last nine
decisions. The New York ace is unbeaten in 11 straight starts since his most
recent loss, which took place against the crosstown-rival Mets on May 23.
He extended his remarkable win streak in the Yankees' 10-4 triumph over Kansas
City on Thursday, although Sabathia wasn't at his best that night. He was
touched for four runs (three earned) and gave up a season high-tying 11 hits
over 6 1/3 innings, but did register nine strikeouts for the game.
Sabathia broke into the majors with the Indians in 2001 and pitched 7 1/2
seasons with Cleveland before being traded to Milwaukee midway through the
2008 campaign. He amassed a 106-71 record during his tenure with the Tribe and
captured the AL's Cy Young Award after going 19-7 with a 3.21 ERA in 2007.
The 30-year-old did take on the Indians at Progressive Field once last season,
and dealt his ex-club a loss with seven innings of three-run ball that night.
Sabathia also recorded a pair of no-decisions in two other starts against
Cleveland, including a May 29 clash at Yankee Stadium in which he permitted
five runs in six innings of work.
New York took three of four games from the Indians in that late-May series at
Yankee Stadium and has prevailed in eight of the last 10 clashes between the
teams. In their only visit to Cleveland last season, the Yankees won three of
four tests from the Tribe.

Big 12 Conference betting odds
Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State
 Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.
Work left to do:
Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.
Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.
Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
