Baseball Betting Lines
04/07/2010 -
Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chipper Jones smacked a two-run homer in the
eighth to lift the Atlanta Braves over the Chicago Cubs, 3-2, in the second
contest of a three-game set from Turner Field.
Jason Heyward drove in the other run for the Braves, who won 16-5 in the
opener of this series on Monday and have opened the season with two straight
wins for the second year in a row.
Jair Jurrjens went five innings in the start, allowing two unearned runs on
three hits to pick up a no-decision. Peter Moylan (1-0) tossed a scoreless
eighth to pick up the win.
Ryan Theriot knocked in a run for the Cubs, who got a pair of hits from
Alfonso Soriano. Starter Ryan Dempster took a no-decision after allowing one
run on three hits with nine strikeouts in six frames of work. John Grabow
(0-1) gave up the homer to Jones to take the loss.
Trailing 2-1 in the eighth, Atlanta went ahead on Jones' homer. Grabow
started the frame on the hill for Chicago and gave up a one-out double to
Martin Prado. Jones then stepped to the plate and deposited the ball into the
seats in left.
Billy Wagner came on in the top of the ninth and worked around a one-out
single to pick up his first save since 2008.
Heyward got the Braves on the board in the second inning. Brian McCann worked
a walk to get things started. Dempster then fanned Troy Glaus and Yunel
Escobar, but McCann was able to steal second. Heyward stepped to the plate and
hit an RBI double down the right field line.
Atlanta loaded the bases with one out during its next at-bat. However,
Dempster worked out of the jam by striking out Glaus and Escobar.
The Cubs scored twice in the fifth to take a 2-1 edge. After Marlon Byrd
walked, Soriano grounded a ball to third. Jones tossed the ball to second for
the first out and Prado threw to first in an attempt to complete the double
play. The first base umpire ruled that Soriano beat the throw in a
controversial call.
The bases became loaded following a Mike Fontenot single and Geovany Soto
walk. Dempster then hit a slow dribbler to first that Glaus mishandled,
allowing a run to score. Theriot followed with a sacrifice fly to center.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.
It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan
