Cahill helps Oakland down Texas

Baseball Betting Lines

07/28/2010 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trevor Cahill allowed two hits over eight innings in a dominant performance, and Kurt Suzuki homered and knocked in two runs to guide Oakland in 3-1 win over the Texas Rangers in the middle contest of a three-game series.

Cahill (10-4), who was winless in his previous two appearances, walked three and struck out four batters as the Athletics won for the 10th time in 13 games.

Coco Crisp and Jack Cust each had two hits for the A's, who bounced back from a 3-1 loss in 10 innings on Tuesday when Nelson Cruz hit the game-winning homer off Michael Wuertz. A night later, Wuertz surrendered an RBI single to Vladimir Guerrero in the ninth inning. Craig Breslow entered with one out and fanned both Josh Hamilton and Cruz to end the game to pick up his second career save.

Colby Lewis (9-7) was charged with five hits and a run, while fanning eight batters in seven innings.

The AL West-leading Rangers suffered their third loss in the last 10 games.

The game was scoreless until one out in the sixth when Suzuki hit his team- leading 12th homer of the year, a shot to left field.

Oakland added two more runs in the eighth against Darren Oliver. Crisp singled and went to second on an error by left fielder Josh Hamilton. After moving to third on a bunt, Crisp scored on Suzuki's base hit to right field. Cust followed with a single to right and Suzuki came home on a fielding error by Cruz.

Game Notes

Rajai Davis became the fifth player in Oakland history with a 30-steal season...Cahill is 5-1 lifetime against the Rangers.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
