Baseball Betting Lines

06/10/2007 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Konerko homered and Mark Buehrle finally earned his 100th career victory, as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Houston Astros, 6-3, to salvage the finale of a three-game set at U.S. Cellular Field.

Konerko finished with three hits, drove in two runs and also scored twice. Luis Terrero and Juan Uribe added solo homers for the White Sox, who snapped a five-game losing streak and won for only the second time in nine games.

Buehrle (3-3) had a solid outing, allowing one run on six hits while striking out four and walking one over eight innings. The left-hander had been 0-3 in seven outings since his 99th win on April 23.

Mark Lamb hit a solo homer for Houston, which had its brief two-game winning streak snapped. The Astros are 5-5 on the heels of a 10-game losing streak.

Wandy Rodriguez (3-6) was ineffective in the loss, giving up five runs -- four earned -- on seven hits. He struck out three and walked one.

The White Sox got the scoring started in the second inning when Konerko led off with a double and came around to score two batters later when Terrero singled to left to make it 1-0.

Konerko's one-out solo homer to left in the fourth increased the lead to 2-0.

Chicago continued on the home run attack in the fifth when Terrero hammered a solo home run to left and two batters later Uribe added a solo shot to put the home team ahead 4-0. The White Sox added another in the frame when Konerko singled in a run.

Lamb's two-out solo homer to right in the seventh inning got the Astros on the board.

The White Sox tacked on another run in the bottom of the seventh inning when Andy Gonzalez doubled in Tadahito Iguchi, who got things started with a one- out single.

Houston loaded the bases with one out in the ninth and scored a run on a Bobby Jenks wild pitch and another on an RBI ground out by Brad Ausmus to account for the final margin. Jenks recorded his 17th save of the season when he struck out Luke Scott to end the game.

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup.

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.
