Baseball Betting Lines
06/01/2008 -
St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gabe Gross led off the bottom of the
10th inning with a homer, as the Tampa Bay Rays downed the Chicago White Sox,
4-3, in the finale of a four-game set at Tropicana Field.
Gross added a two-run triple for Tampa Bay, which has won three straight and
owns the best record in the American League at 35-22. Carlos Pena knocked in
the other run, while Shawn Riggans went 2-for-4 and scored a run. B.J. Upton
tripled and scored a run, as the Rays won for the 20th time in their last 23
home games.
Andy Sonnanstine, who tossed a three-hit shutout against the White Sox on
April 19, gave up three runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings. J.P. Howell (4-0)
pitched two scoreless innings to pick up the win.
Alexei Ramirez finished 3-for-4 and drove in two runs for Chicago, which
concluded its seven-game road trip with a mark of 3-4. Orlando Cabrera had an
RBI and A.J. Pierzynski notched three hits.
Mark Buehrle allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings. Matt Thornton
(1-1) surrendered the walk-off homer to absorb the loss.
Jim Thome doubled to lead off the top of the 10th, but was left stranded a
third. Paul Konerko and Joe Crede grounded out, and Nick Swisher fanned.
Gross then crushed an 0-2 breaking ball into the seats in right field to win
the game.
The White Sox plated two in the top of the second. Konerko lined a single
to right to lead off the frame and, after Crede was called out on strikes,
Swisher smashed a bullet off the base at first for a hit. Sonnanstine then
hung an 0-1 slider that Ramirez hooked into the left field corner for a two-
run double.
Pena's RBI single put the Rays on the board in the fourth, but Chicago
countered in the next frame. Brian Anderson led off with a double and Cabrera
followed with a single to right to put the visitors up, 3-1. Pierzynski then
stroked a soft liner to right that fell in for a hit, but Sonnanstine recorded
three pop ups to thwart further damage.
The Rays drew even in the bottom of the fifth. A single by Jonny Gomes and a
double by Riggans put runners on second and third with no outs for Gross,
whose triple to right-center tied the game.

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.
