04/21/2009 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aubrey Huff blasted a pair of two-run homers to support a solid effort by Brad Bergesen in his major league debut, as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Chicago White Sox, 10-3, in the opener of a three-game set at Camden Yards.
Nick Markakis finished 4-for-4 with a walk, scored three times and drove in two runs for Baltimore, which snapped a five-game losing streak. Luke Scott collected three hits, walked once and knocked in a run.
Bergesen (1-0) gave up three runs -- one earned -- on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks in 5 2/3 innings to come away victorious in his first trip to the mound.
Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko and Brian Anderson each drove in a run for Chicago, which lost for the third time in its last nine games. Jose Contreras (0-3) was charged with the loss after surrendering six runs on seven hits and six walks over 5 1/3 innings.
Baltimore jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the third inning on Huff's blast to right, but the White Sox quickly countered with a pair of runs in the fourth.
Chris Getz walked to lead off the frame and Josh Fields went down swinging. A fielding error by third baseman Ty Wigginton on a ball hit by Carlos Quentin put runners on the corners. After Jim Thome was called out on strikes, Dye and Konerko hit back-to-back singles to tie the game.
An RBI groundout by Anderson gave Chicago a 3-2 lead in the fifth, but the O's rallied in the bottom half. Brian Roberts led off the inning with a walk, took second when Lou Montanez grounded out, and raced home on a double by Markakis. Scott singled in Markakis later in the frame for a 4-3 Baltimore lead.
The O's tacked on two more runs in the sixth. Cesar Izturis drew a one-out walk, swiped second and advanced to third on A.J. Pierzynski's errant throw. Roberts worked a walk and Montanez followed with an RBI double, chasing Contreras from the mound. Clayton Richard emerged from the bullpen and the hot-hitting Markakis greeted the left-hander with a run-scoring single down the left-field line.
Izturis stroked a two-run double in the seventh to make it an 8-3 game and Huff went deep against Jack Egbert in the eighth.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(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. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
