DiNardo, A's blank Giants, complete sweep

Baseball Betting Lines

06/11/2007 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lenny DiNardo tossed six scoreless innings and the bullpen did the rest, as the Oakland Athletics completed the sweep of the San Francisco Giants with a 2-0 win at AT&T Park.

Santiago Casilla (2-0) got the win after twirling two perfect frames in relief and Alan Embree worked the ninth for his seventh save of the year.

Marco Scutaro homered and Shannon Stewart knocked in a run for the A's, who have won eight of their last nine.

DiNardo has not allowed a run over his last two starts. The last time the southpaw was on the hill he was brilliant against the Red Sox, posting a 2-0 win. In the victory over Boston, the 27-year-old tossed six scoreless innings, scattering two hits, while walking six batters.

The reliever-turned-starter scattered four hits over this outing while striking out five and walking a pair.

Matt Cain (2-6) was the tough-luck loser. The young right-hander surrendered just one run on five hits over eight innings while striking out eight for San Francisco, which has dropped five of six.

Barry Bonds remains stuck at 746 career home runs, nine behind Hank Aaron for first on the all-time list. He ended 0-for-3 with a walk.

Scutaro broke up the scoreless stalemate in the eighth, leading off the frame with a blast to left for his third home run of the season.

The A's added an insurance run in the ninth. Mark Kotsay got things going with a double to center. Brad Hennessey rebounded to get Jason Kendall to fly out, but then yielded a base hit to Stewart that brought Kotsay in.

Game Notes

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
