Baseball Betting Lines

06/13/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hideki Matsui finished 3-for-4 with two RBI as the Angels held on to top the Dodgers, 6-5, in the finale of a three-game interleague series from Dodger Stadium.

Bobby Abreu collected three hits, scored twice and drove in a run while Torii Hunter and Mike Napoli homered for the Angels, who swept the set and have won four of five overall.

Jered Weaver (6-3) yielded five hits and three runs with seven strikeouts over six innings for the win. Brian Fuentes turned in a scoreless ninth for his 10th save.

Manny Ramirez went 3-for-4 with two doubles and scored twice for the Dodgers, who had won four in a row prior to this weekend. James Loney added three hits and three RBI and Rafael Furcal homered in the setback.

Carlos Monasterios (3-1) suffered his first defeat of the season after allowing seven hits and four runs with three walks over just 2 2/3 frames.

Down 5-1, the Dodgers struck for a pair of runs in the home seventh to close the gap to two. Ramirez led off with a double and Loney doubled him in, signaling Weaver's exit for Kevin Jepsen. After two quick outs, Blake DeWitt plated Loney with a single.

Napoli's solo shot in the eighth gave the Halos a 6-3 cushion, but the home team responded with two more in the bottom half. Russell Martin drew a leadoff walk, advanced on a Ramirez single then both scored on Loney's double.

Fuentes walked pinch-hitter Casey Blake in the bottom of the ninth but Matt Kemp fanned swinging and Furcal grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game.

The Angels picked up two in the first on RBI singles from Abreu and Matsui, and the Dodgers responded in the home half when Furcal led off with his second homer of the year.

Hunter's blast and Howie Kendrick's run-scoring double in the third pushed the visitors' edge to 4-1, then Matsui knocked in Abreu with a single in the fifth.

Game Notes

The Angels have won five of the last seven meetings with the Dodgers, and have won five of the last six at Chavez Ravine...It was the first time the Angels swept the Dodgers in LA since interleague play began in 1997...For Furcal, it was his 26th leadoff homer, and 14th as Dodger.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
