Blanco's HR in 11th gives Mets second straight late-inning win

Baseball Betting Lines

05/08/2010 - Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henry Blanco's first home run as a Met gave New York a 5-4 win over San Francisco in 11 innings, the club's ninth consecutive win at Citi Field.

Blanco ended 3-for-5 in place of starter Rod Barajas, whose home run in the bottom of the ninth Friday handed New York a 6-4 win in the series opener. Barajas sat out Saturday's game with an injury to his left index finger.

Jason Bay and Angel Pagan each drove in two runs for the Mets, who are riding the franchise's longest home winning streak since an 11-game tear at Shea Stadium from August 5-24, 2006.

Johan Santana was charged with four runs on eight hits with six strikeouts against zero walks in 7 2/3 innings of work. It was the longest outing by a Mets starter this season and was a noted improvement on Sunday's dreadful performance in which the two-time AL Cy Young winner was battered for 10 runs in just 3 2/3 innings against the Phillies.

Hisanori Takahashi (3-1) was credited with the win after tossing a spotless top half of the 11th.

Aubrey Huff had two RBI for the Giants, who entered this weekend series coming off a three-game road sweep of the Marlins. Juan Uribe and Pablo Sandoval also knocked in a run, while Guillermo Mota (0-1) took the loss.

Todd Wellemeyer was touched for four runs on three hits and five walks in a 4 1/3-inning start.

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.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
