Baseball Betting Lines

04/11/2009 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Orlando Hudson backed Eric Stults' spot- start with a home run and three runs batted in, as the Dodgers upended the Diamondbacks, 11-2, at Chase Field.

Stults (1-0), filling in for injured Opening Day starter Hiroki Kuroda (left oblique), scattered four hits, two walks and a run while fanning five in 5 1/3 frames for the Dodgers, who evened their record at 3-3.

Russell Martin and Andre Ethier each drove in two runs for Los Angeles.

Yusmeiro Petit was a replacement for Arizona's ace, Brandon Webb, who was scratched because of stiffness in his shoulder. Petit (0-1) was saddled with the loss after surrendering three runs on three hits and a pair of walks in a five-inning start for the D'Backs, who beat LA, 9-4, in the opener of the three-game set on Friday.

Stephen Drew and Augie Ojeda each had an RBI in defeat.

Petit retired the first 10 batters he faced, but Hudson connected on a first- pitch fastball for a solo shot to put the Dodgers in front in the fourth. The blast rattled Petit, who went on to walk Manny Ramirez and James Loney before allowing a two-run double to Martin for a 3-0 deficit.

While Stults only gave up two hits through five frames, the Dodgers extended their lead with a five-run sixth. Billy Buckner started on the hill for Arizona and promptly loaded the bases.

Ethier followed with a two-run double, Matt Kemp plated a runner with a sacrifice fly and Casey Blake singled in another tally. After Stults struck out, Blake moved up to second on a passed ball and came around to score on Rafael Furcal's single for a commanding 8-0 lead.

In the home half, Drew singled home Chris Young, who hit a one-out double, but that was all the Diamondbacks could muster until the last frame.

Hudson doubled in a pair and scored on a Juan Pierre single to make it a 10- run game in the eighth, and Mark Reynolds scored on Ojeda's sacrifice fly in the home ninth to account for the final score.

Game Notes

In the rubber match on Sunday, LA will go with Randy Wolf on the mound, while Arizona counters with Dan Haren...LA went 6-for-12 with runners in scoring position.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
