Baseball Betting Lines

04/11/2009 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Howard had a pair of hits and three runs batted in, as the Phillies used some timely hitting and strong pitching to defeat the Colorado Rockies, 8-4, at Coors Field.

Seven of Philadelphia's runs came with two outs, as the Phillies won for the second time in three games. Brett Myers (1-1) became the first starter on the team to earn a win and improved to 7-0 lifetime against the Rockies, as he threw seven strong innings, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk, with six strikeouts.

Shane Victorino went 3-for-5 and scored twice, while Jayson Werth added a two- RBI triple. Chase Utley had two hits and scored twice, while Pedro Feliz also added three hits.

The Rockies managed only four hits in the game, with three being home runs from Clint Barmes, Troy Tulowitzki and Garrett Atkins, respectively. Brad Hawpe doubled to account for the other base hit, while Jorge De La Rosa (0-1) gave up five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three in 4 2/3 innings.

Colorado had a three-game winning streak snapped.

Back-to-back two-out singles by Utley and Howard in the fifth put runners on the corners for Werth and knocked De La Rosa out of the game. Ryan Speier came in to face Werth, who tripled down the right field line to score both runners and put the Phillies ahead, 5-3.

Barmes immediately cut the Rockies' deficit in half, leading off the home fifth with a homer off Myers.

In the sixth, against Colorado reliever Jason Hammel, Feliz singled to lead off and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Myers. Jimmy Rollins and Victorino each worked two-out walks to load the bases for Utley, who grounded out to Hammel to end the threat.

Raul Ibanez blasted a two-out solo homer in the seventh to make it 6-4 in favor of the visitors. Utley blooped a two-out RBI single in the eighth to score Victorino, who had doubled.

Ibanez led the ninth off against Huston Street with a double and scored on an RBI single from Feliz to account for the final margin.

Ryan Madson and Brad Lidge contributed one perfect inning of relief apiece to close out the game.

Colorado jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second, as Hawpe hit a one-out double and Tulowitzki drilled a two-run homer to center.

Rollins and Victorino both hit two-out singles in the third, and Utley worked a five-pitch walk to load the bases. Howard came up and promptly drilled the first pitch to the wall in the left-center field gap, scoring all three runs.

Atkins hit a one-out homer in the fourth, his second in two games, to tie the game at 3-3.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – 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.

Sportsbook 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 sports 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.
