Baseball Betting Lines

08/14/2010 - Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Roy Halladay twirled eight scoreless innings to help the Philadelphia Phillies take a 4-0 win over the New York Mets in the second of a three-game set.

Halladay (15-8) gave up just three hits and struck out six to win his fifth straight start and added a hit and a run scored. He has now gone at least six innings in 51 straight road starts.

Placido Polanco had a pair of hits and an RBI while Shane Victorino added two hits and a run scored for the Phillies, who have won three of their last four and recovered from R.A. Dickey's one-hitter in a 1-0 loss in the series opener.

Jose Reyes' triple was the lone extra-base hit for the Mets, who had won three of four coming into the contest.

Pat Misch (0-1), making his first start of the season, went six innings and was charged with four runs -- one earned -- on eight hits with two walks and two strikeouts.

Before the game, the Mets activated closer Francisco Rodriguez from the restricted list after he served a two-game suspension handed down by the team due to an incident on Wednesday when he allegedly hit his girlfriend's father, Carlos Pena.

Following the incident, he was taken into custody by police and later released. He issued an apology to the team and fans earlier on Saturday, then threw a scoreless ninth inning.

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.
