Tigers pin hopes on Galarraga in finale with RoyalsBaseball Betting Lines09/05/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Streaking righty Armando Galarraga can stay perfect for his career against Kansas City today when the Detroit Tigers visit the Royals in the finale of a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium. The Tigers won Friday's opener and moved within a game of a sweep on Saturday when Austin Jackson went 3-for-4 and singled in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning for a 6-4 win. Jackson also hit a home run in the fifth inning for Detroit, which has won three in a row. Miguel Cabrera, who did not play Friday because of biceps tendinitis, added a two-run double in the victory. Rick Porcello (8-11) took the victory after pitching seven innings, in which he allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk. Jose Valverde pitched a scoreless ninth to get his 25th save and spared the Tigers from playing a fourth consecutive extra-inning game. They lost to Minnesota in 10 innings Wednesday before beating the Twins in 13 the following day. Detroit then won the opener of this series in the 11th inning Friday. Billy Butler had three hits, while Kila Ka'aihue added a two-run homer and drove in three to lead the Royals' offense. Ka'aihue has three homers this season, all against Detroit. Bruce Chen got the start for Kansas City, which has lost three in a row, and allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings. Galarraga, best known for his near perfect game earlier this season against Cleveland, has pitched particularly well in his last three starts - allowing just three runs in 16 hits in 19 1/3 innings. He defeated the Indians, 6-0, on Aug. 20 and has picked up no-decisions in his last starts against Kansas City and Minnesota, both Tigers losses. Against the Royals on Aug. 25, he gave up a run on five hits in 6 1/3 innings. He is 2-0 against them in seven lifetime games with a 2.56 earned run average. Galarraga is 1-2 in seven road starts in 2010. For Kansas City, righty Kyle Davies gets the start four days before his 27th birthday. The Georgia native is seeking a first win since Aug. 13 against the New York Yankees, when he allowed seven hits and three runs in five innings of a 4-3 triumph. In three starts since, he's allowed 29 hits and 13 runs in 20 1/3 innings against Cleveland, Detroit and Texas. The Tigers drilled him for 12 hits and seven runs in a 9-1 rout on Aug. 24 at Comerica Park, lowering his career record against them to 2-7 with a 6.09 ERA in 10 starts. He is 2-5 in 12 home starts this season. The Tigers have won eight of 14 meetings with the Royals so far this season.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingWhy Sports Betting is so much fun?Betting SportsThe most popular sports to bet on are NFL and college football along with NBA and NCAA basketball. There are multiple betting opportunities within those sports, beginning with the basic wager on a game’s outcome (also called betting the side). College Football Point spreads are used in both football and basketball in an attempt to even the attractiveness of each team in a match-up. ( See our article detailing how and why point spreads are made) Points (or Runs) ScoredAnother bet across all major team sports including football, basketball, baseball, and hockey involves wagering on the amount of scoring in a game, called an Over/Under total. For example, the Over/Under total on Super Bowl XXXIX was 48, which means a bettor could wager whether there would be more or less than 48 points scored by both teams combined in the game. Future BetsSports gambling doesn’t end there. Betting sides and totals are the most common wagers available everywhere, but many sportsbooks also offer future bets on big upcoming events like who will win next year’s Super Bowl and what movie will win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Proposition Bets (or Prop Bets)Proposition bets , also known as prop bets, focus upon the more exotic aspects of a game and are generally reserved for events that are widely televised. Prop bets are extremely popular when it comes to wagering on the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. The Imperial Palace Casino’s sportsbook is well-known for the enormous number of prop bets offered. For example, you can bet on:
Types of BetsStraight BetInvolves one individual wager, whether it be on your team to cover the point spread, to win the game straight-up on the money line, or to go over/under the total. Sports Betting ParlaysA parlay is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers and is dependent on all of those wagers winning together. The benefit of the parlay bet is much better odds than placing each individual bet separately since the difficulty of hitting it is much higher.Standard payoffs on a two-team parlay are 13/5; while a three-teamer pays 6/1; and a four-teamer 10/1. Parlay cards are also fairly common in sportsbooks and popular with bettors, as they are released early in the week with set odds that do not change in return for a slightly lower payoff. Round Robin BettingAdventurous bettors who enjoy betting parlays sometimes put together a series of parlays called a Round Robin . A three-team Round Robin consists of one three-team parlay and three two-team parlays. For example, Joe likes teams A,B,C – with a Round Robin he has a three-teamer with ABC, and two-teamers with AB, AC, and BC.Betting TeasersSimilar to a parlay, a teaser bet is a single bet that links together two or more individual wagers, but is different in that the point spread is adjusted to your advantage on each individual wager. In exchange for the points, you get less of a return on your bet compared to a parlay. For example, a 6-point teaser would move the line on a 7-point favorite from -7 to -1, meaning the team would have to cover 6 less points. Each of the individual wagers must win or the bet is a loss.These are the main types of sports bets available today.
