Baseball Betting Lines
08/15/2010 - San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miguel Tejada went 3-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs, and the San Diego Padres knocked out Tim Lincecum in the fourth inning en route to topping the San Francisco Giants, 8-2, in the rubber match of a key National League West clash.
Chase Headley and Yorvit Torrealba each had two hits, two runs scored and an RBI, with Torrealba notching his third home run of the season for the Padres, who now own a 3 1/2 game lead over the Giants atop the division.
Wade LeBlanc (7-10) picked up the win as a result of seven effective innings, as he gave up two runs on four hits and two walks while fanning seven.
LeBlanc looked more like a two-time Cy Young Award winner than Lincecum (11-7), who lost a third straight start for the first time in his career.
The 26-year-old right-hander was touched for six runs -- five earned -- on eight hits and three walks in 3 2/3 frames and has pitched to a 9.00 earned- run average during his recent skid.

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. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
