White Sox edge Angels; Peavy leaves with injuryBaseball Betting Lines07/07/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Rios homered and finished with two RBI, as the Chicago White Sox edged the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, 4-1, in the continuation of a four-game series. Chicago starting pitcher Jake Peavy left the game in the second inning with a strained back -- more specifically a strained latissimus dorsi muscle -- and will be re-evaluated on Wednesday. Tony Pena (2-1) replaced Peavy and pitched 4 1/3 solid relief innings, allowing one run on five hits. Andruw Jones also homered for the White Sox, who have won three straight games. Mike Napoli drove in the only run for the Angels, who dropped Monday's series opener and have now lost four of their last five games overall. Jered Weaver (8-4) suffered the loss after he allowed four runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings pitched. The start of the game was delayed by 1 hour, 41 minutes due to rain. A sacrifice fly by Rios in the bottom of the first inning started the scoring. Juan Pierre laced a leadoff double and stole third before a fly ball to left field by Rios allowed Pierre to tag-up for the 1-0 lead. The Angels knotted the contest in the fourth. Torii Hunter singled and moved to second when Hideki Matsui walked before he came around to score on a base hit by Napoli. With one out in the home sixth, Rios belted his 14th home run of the season, a solo blast over the wall in left field and the Sox led, 2-1. In the seventh, Jones' 11th homer of 2010 gave the hosts a two-run cushion. The Sox then added another insurance run later in the inning on Pierre's RBI single, which scored Dayan Viciedo. J.J. Putz pitched a perfect seventh, Matt Thornton successfully worked around a pair of singles in the eighth and closer Bobby Jenks entered for the ninth. Jenks yielded a one-out single to Napoli, but got Juan Rivera to ground out and then struck out pinch-hitter Paul McAnulty to earn his 18th save of the campaign. Game Notes Despite the loss, the Angels outhit the Sox, 9-8...Hunter ended with three hits...Rios has 47 RBI this season...Putz has a 1.69 ERA this season...White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin missed the game due to a sore left knee.

Pro Football Odds : NFC SOUTH BETTING ODDSNFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with. Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win. Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year. Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City. The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your NFL football betting needs. |
