Royals crush White Sox
Baseball Betting Lines
05/13/2007 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David DeJesus had four hits, scored three
times and drove in a pair of runs to guide the Kansas City Royals past the
Chicago White Sox, 11-1, in the finale of a three-game series at U.S.
Cellular Field.
Mark Teahen hit a three-run homer and Tony Pena had two RBI for the Royals,
who snapped a three-game losing streak.
"Hopefully this does something to help the confidence of our players," said
Royals manager Buddy Bell.
Jorge De La Rosa (4-3) allowed just one run on three hits over seven innings
to pick up the victory.
Javier Vazquez (2-2) took the loss after yielding four runs over six innings
for Chicago, which saw a four-game winning streak come to an end. Joe Crede
had his team's lone RBI.
"That's one of the first games I remember where we beat ourselves," said
Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen. "We had opportunities, we just didn't come
through."
Kansas City took a 1-0 lead in the second as Ross Gload led off with a single,
moved to third following a wild pitch and a Shane Costa ground out, and then
scored on John Buck's sacrifice fly.
De La Rosa got into some trouble in the fourth and gave up a bases-loaded walk
to Crede that pushed a run across the plate, but rebounded to retire the side.
Teahen then cracked a three-run homer in the fifth to put the Royals back in
front. With runners on first and second and one down, Teahen sent a Vazquez
offering over the right field wall for his fourth homer of the season.
Esteban German added an RBI single in the seventh to up the lead to 5-1, and
the Royals put up a five-spot in the eighth to turn the game into a rout.
With the bases loaded and nobody out, Pena came through with a base hit to
center that scored Costa and Buck. DeJesus, Mike Sweeney and Gload followed
with run-scoring singles of their own to make it a 10-1 contest.
DeJesus polished off the scoring with an RBI double in the ninth.

MySportsbook.com: New College Football Clock Rules Examined
Coaches and bettors alike are desperate to make sense of the new time-keeping rules on the NCAA gridiron. One of the big stories to come out of the Ohio State-Texas clash last weekend was Texas coach Mack Brown's criticism of the NCAA's new clock rules that are intended to shorten the duration of college football games, therefore affecting college football betting.
"They scored with six minutes left and the game was over before we had a chance to do anything," Brown told ESPN.com. "I really hope whoever made these changes will go back and look them over."
Sure, it might be sour grapes; the Buckeyes thoroughly trounced the defending national champion Longhorns 24-7. However, Brown isn't alone in giving the changes their due thought. Bettors are also wondering about them, albeit for a completely different reason. Most experts agree that the changes will result in games being shortened by anywhere from 10 to 20 plays. The obvious consequence is lower scores, with more time rolling off the clock during changes of possession. (The Ohio State-Texas game flew well under the total of 52.)
According to research at the online sportsbook MySportsbook.com, more than 18 plays a game disappeared last weekend into thin air. That's a 10-percent reduction. In 2005, a typical game had 168.58 plays. For 2007 already, it's down to 150.26.
As a result, teams combined to gain an average of about 100 fewer yards a game last weekend versus the 2005 openers. Scoring was also down by about 4.5 points (attention Las Vegas sports lines).
Of course, oddsmakers were able to adjust to the changes before the season started. Proof of that came as the over went a balanced 8-9 at My Sportsbook on Saturday.
Other angles to consider:A shorter game should theoretically result in shorter lines. Whereas Team A might have been a 14-point favorite in a 168-play game (last year), if there are 10 percent less snaps in 2007, the line should also be reduced by 10 percent (to 13 or 12.5). Of course, this is an over-simplification of the matter, but something to keep in mind.
Less possessions means a better chance the game will be decided by three or seven points. For example, what might have been a 20-10 final score in 2005 may end at
17-10 in 2007. Granted, a 24-17 game last year might end at 21-17 these days, but the former - a three- or seven-point advantage being preserved as opposed to created - is the most likely scenario.
*UPDATE* - Sept. 25, 2007
New Clock Rules Boon for online bookmakers
By adjusting the time-keeping rules to shorten the duration of college football games, the NCAA hoped to make its product more enjoyable for the fans. While the NCAA's success in this regard is still up for debate, bookmakers couldn't be happier with the results.
"We are seeing a massive jump in college football betting," noted the MySportsbook.com management team. "With all the early Saturday games (12 a.m. ET) ending before the second wave begins (3:30 p.m. ET) - something that didn't always happen before the changes - bettors are now able to re-invest their winnings from the morning session in the afternoon games."
While not all bettors will choose to roll over their winnings, it doesn't take much for an impact to be seen on the bottom line. "Not all of the millions of dollars in morning payouts get re-bet. In fact, it's probably only 10 to 20 percent," noted the sportsbook management team. "Still, the increased football betting lines window will create a ton of growth for us over the course of the season."
