Fielder goes deep to give Brewers victory over Arizona

Baseball Betting Lines

06/02/2008 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Prince Fielder launched a game-winning home run in the eighth and the Milwaukee Brewers survived a sloppy ninth, pulling out a 4-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the opener of a three-game set.

Fielder finished with three hits and a heads-up stolen base, while scoring twice and Bill Hall had an RBI and scored for the Brewers.

Guillermo Mota (2-3) pitched a perfect eighth for the win, Milwaukee's fourth straight.

Chris Snyder doubled and homered, driving in two of the Diamondbacks three runs while Mark Reynolds had the other RBI and two singles for Arizona, which had a two-game win streak snapped. Arizona has now dropped six of its last eight overall.

Prince Fielder greeted Arizona's Doug Slaten (0-2) in the eighth with a leadoff homer to center, giving Milwaukee a 4-3 advantage heading to the ninth.

Salomon Torres came on to close out the game in the ninth but Reynolds dribbled a single and moved to second on Jason Kendall's errant throw to first. Justin Upton then reached on a Hall throwing error and Snyder moved both runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt for the first out. Torres bared down and got Augie Ojeda to pop out and retired Stephen Drew on strikes to end the game, notching his sixth save of the season.

Jeff Suppan fanned six over seven effective innings of three-run ball for Milwaukee. The right-hander allowed seven hits and two walks. Doug Davis was equally effective over six-plus innings, allowing three runs - one earned - on six hits and two walks for Arizona.

Arizona got on the board first in the second inning. Upton singled to center with two out and Snyder brought him around on a double to right.

Milwaukee answered in the home half. Fielder singled to center, leading off, moved to second on a wild pitch, and stole third when Davis paid the hefty first-bagger no mind. It proved costly as Fielder came in to score on a Hall sacrifice fly.

The D'Backs went back on top in the third. Drew worked a leadoff walk and Chris Young singled to right before Reynolds brought home Drew on a two-out infield single. Young was thrown out trying to score from second on the play, ending the frame.

Snyder drilled a home run to center leading off the seventh, extending the D'Backs lead to 3-1.

The Brewers came back in the home half to tie the game at three. Hall singled and J.J. Hardy worked a walk, starting off the frame to chase Davis from the game. Chad Qualls came on for Arizona and promptly pulled Orlando Hudson off first with an errant throw on a sacrifice bunt offering from Kendall, leaving runners safe at every base. Pinch-hitter Gabe Kapler then reached on a throwing error by third baseman Reynolds, with Hall and Hardy coming around to score. Qualls came back to get Rickie Weeks on strikes but re-loaded the bases by walking Mike Cameron. Ryan Braun then hit into an inning-ending double play.

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.

SPORTS BETTING

NFL Football Betting Online

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.

It is called the "pointspread."

Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.

But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.

A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.

In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.

The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
