Baseball Betting Lines
07/25/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wes Helms hit a run-scoring single in the bottom of the 11th inning, as the Florida Marlins edged the Atlanta Braves, 5-4, in the rubber match of a three-game series at Sun Life Stadium.
Helms ended with two hits, three RBI, and a run scored for the Marlins, who went 7-3 on a 10-game homestand.
Chris Volstad, who was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans prior to the game, lasted six frames in the start, allowing three runs on five hits. Jorge Sosa (2-2) pitched a scoreless two innings of relief to record the win.
Eric Hinske hit a solo homer for the Braves, who got an RBI apiece from Melky Cabrera, Chipper Jones, and Brian McCann. Jair Jurrjens gave up four runs on six hits in a seven-inning start.
Jesse Chavez (2-2) started on the mound for the Braves in the bottom of the 11th. Hanley Ramirez and Dan Uggla singled before Cody Ross was intentionally walked to load the bases. Helms followed with the game-winning hit to left.
Trailing 4-3, the Braves put a run on the board in the eighth to tie the game. Clay Hensley, who recorded the final two outs in the seventh, stayed on to pitch for Florida. Cabrera hit a two-out double to right and came around to score on pinch-hitter Jones' two-bagger to center.
The Braves drew first blood with a run in the first. Jason Heyward walked and Hinske singled with one out. McCann followed with an RBI single. Troy Glaus then walked to load the bases, but Volstad retired the next two batters to keep it a 1-0 game.
Hinske homered to right in the third to give Atlanta a 2-0 lead.
Florida went ahead with a four-run fourth. With one out, Ramirez singled and Uggla walked. Ross then hit an RBI single before Helms knocked in two runs with a triple. Mike Stanton was intentionally walked to put men on the corners for Brad Davis, whose run-scoring base hit made it 4-2.
Volstad retired 10 straight batters before giving up a one-out double to Glaus in the sixth. Alex Gonzalez was hit by a pitch and Brooks Conrad walked to load the bases. Cabrera followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 4-3. Jurrjens flied out to end the frame.
The Braves wasted a golden opportunity to score in the seventh. Jose Veras loaded the bases with one out before being replaced on the mound by Hensley. Glaus then grounded into an inning-ending double play.

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.
