Baseball Betting Lines

04/22/2009 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miguel Tejada batted 2-for-5 with a double and three runs batted in, as the Houston Astros topped Los Angeles, 8-5, snapping the Dodgers' eight-game winning streak.

Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer as part of a two-hit effort in Tuesday's game, the opener of a three-game series. Kaz Matsui finished with a hit, two walks and two RBI as Houston snapped a two-game slide.

Russ Ortiz (1-0) started for the Astros and allowed three runs on three hits and five walks in five innings. It was his second start this season, and first win since April 20, 2007, when he pitched with the Giants. Ortiz missed time with multiple stints on the disabled list in 2007 and did not pitch at all in 2008 after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Jose Valverde escaped a bases-loaded situation in the ninth inning, despite appearing to injure his right leg, to nail down his first save this season.

Manny Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and three total RBI for the Dodgers, who hadn't lost since April 10 against Arizona and were coming off sweeps of San Francisco and Colorado. Matt Kemp went 2-for-4 for LA and has now hit safely in all 14 games to begin the season.

Clayton Kershaw (0-1) took the loss after allowing six runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.

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.
