Baseball Betting Lines
07/01/2008 -
Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ken Griffey Jr. blasted a game-winning two-
run shot in the ninth inning for his 603rd career homer, giving the Cincinnati Reds a dramatic come-from-behind 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in
the opener of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
Jerry Hairston Jr. homered and doubled in four at-bats while Brandon Phillips
had two singles and a run scored for Cincinnati, which has won three straight.
Francisco Cordero (3-1) was credited with the win after escaping a bases-
loaded jam in the ninth.
Adam LaRoche was 3-for-3 with a two-run homer and a sac fly, accounting for
all three Pittsburgh runs, as the Pirates dropped their second straight and
fourth in their last five games.
Matt Capps (1-3) came on in the ninth, allowing a leadoff double to David Ross
before Griffey connected on his 10th of the season, a line-shot to right-
center, sending the Cincinnati crowd into a frenzy.
Cincy's Aaron Harang held his own through seven frames, surrendering three
runs on seven hits and a walk while fanning eight in the no-decision.
The Bucs' Paul Maholm pitched well over seven innings, allowing two runs on
five hits and two walks while recording five strikeouts. The lefty remained
unbeaten in his last seven starts without a decision.
Pittsburgh notched the game's first run in the second. Ryan Doumit led off
with a double to right-center, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a
sacrifice fly from LaRoche.
Cincy tied it up in the third with a leadoff homer from Hairston, who turned
on a Maholm fastball, driving it into the seats in left.
LaRoche gave Pittsburgh the lead back in the sixth with a two-run homer over
the wall in right-center. Xavier Nady doubled before LaRoche's at-bat.
The Reds cut the lead to one in the bottom half of the sixth. Maholm loaded
the bases on a single, hit batsmen and a walk before Jay Bruce plated a run
with a fielder's choice groundout.
Pittsburgh loaded the bases in the ninth off Cordero with two walks and a hit
batsmen, but failed to get a run across as Doumit grounded out to end the
frame.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14, 2007) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
MySportsbook.com refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
