Braves edge Nats in ninth
Baseball Betting Lines
04/22/2009 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pitching duel between Atlanta's Jair
Jurrjens and Washington's John Lannan was decided by the Nationals' bullpen,
as Garrett Mock and Mike Hinckley loaded the bases in the top of the ninth
inning, with the latter walking Kelly Johnson to force in the game's only run
in a 1-0 Braves victory.
Jurrjens went 7 2/3 frames without giving up a run, scattering six hits and
two walks while fanning four. Lannan had an almost identical line, giving up
five hits and a pair of free passes, fanning four in seven scoreless innings.
Neither factored in the decision, as Mock (0-1) took the loss and Atlanta's
Mike Gonzalez (1-0) got the win for recording the final out of the eighth.
Rafael Soriano closed the door with a 1-2-3 ninth inning for his second save
of the season, snapping the Nationals' two-game winning streak and giving
Atlanta its second win in nine games.
Matt Diaz's one-out single back up the middle got the Braves started in the
ninth. Mock got Casey Kotchman to ground into a fielder's choice for the
second out, but walked Jordan Schafer.
Washington then called upon Hinckley, who walked pinch-hitter Martin Prado
before Johnson worked a five-pitch free pass to force in the only run.
Julian Tavarez came in from the bullpen and struck out Yunel Escobar to end
the threat, but Soriano ended things with a perfect bottom half.
The Braves threatened to score first in the fourth, but Lannan fanned his
counterpart with the bases loaded to end the inning.
The Nationals put a pair of runners on base in the fifth, but Alex Cintron
grounded into an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play.
The hosts also wasted a leadoff double from Josh Willingham in the seventh.
Ronnie Belliard moved the runner to third on a sacrifice bunt, but Chipper
Jones made a diving stop before throwing out Jesus Flores, and Austin Kearns
followed with a pop out to short to end the frame.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

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

Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
Matt Foust won both of his conference championship plays yesterday and he is ready to serve up plenty of Super Bowl action.
