Angels, Indians resume series

Baseball Betting Lines

09/07/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Garret Anderson ties to extend his club record of games with at least one RBI this evening when the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim resume their four-game series with the Cleveland Indians at Angel Stadium.

Anderson finished with three RBI, including a two-run homer, while Casey Kotchman's two-run double keyed a four-run fifth inning in the Angels' 10-3 win on Thursday in the opener of this potential playoff matchup. Orlando Cabrera and Gary Matthews both added two hits, an RBI and a run scored for the Angels, who have won three of their last four games and increased their comfortable lead atop the AL West to eight games over idle Seattle.

Anderson has now registered at least one RBI in 11 consecutive games, which is a franchise record.

Kelvim Escobar earned the win after he tossed 5 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on eight hits. Escobar (16-7) struck out eight and issued three walks.

Franklin Gutierrez homered for the red-hot Indians, who swept the Twins earlier this week and lost for the only the second time in their last 13 games overall. Cleveland still leads Detroit by six games in the AL Central.

Paul Byrd (14-6) suffered the loss after he allowed five runs on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings.

Heading to the hill tonight for the Angels will be John Lackey, who is 16-8 with a 3.26 ERA. Lackey received a no-decision on Sunday against the Texas Rangers, as he allowed four runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings of his team's 8-7 loss.

Lackey has faced the Indians nine times in his career and is 3-5 against them with a 3.03 ERA.

Cleveland will counter with veteran right-hander Jake Westbrook, who is 5-8 on the year, while pitching to a 4.42 ERA. Westbrook was charged with the loss on Sunday against the Chicago White Sox, as he yielded four runs (three earned) and 11 hits in five innings.

Westbrook lost his last start to the Halos and is 2-5 lifetime against them with a 3.24 ERA in seven starts.

Angels outfielder Vladimir Guerrero was scratched from the lineup and taken for an MRI exam prior to the game. Guerrero, who leads the Angels with 22 home runs, 110 RBI and a .326 batting average, is suffering from an inflamed right triceps. However, he returned to the stadium and was seen in the dugout smiling with teammates. He is considered day-to-day.

The Angels have split their six matchups with the Indians this season and are 13-10 in the series since the start of the 2005 campaign.

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.
