Chacin splendid in pitching Rox past DBacks

Baseball Betting Lines

08/22/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dexter Fowler went 2-for-3 and drove in the only run of the game in the eighth inning, as Colorado edged Arizona, 1-0, to avoid a three-game sweep at Chase Field.

Jhoulys Chacin (6-9) was sensational on the mound for the Rockies, giving up just three hits and a walk while striking out nine in 7 2/3 innings.

Joe Beimel recorded the final out of the eighth, and Huston Street pitched a perfect ninth to put an end to Colorado's three-game slide.

Aaron Heilman (4-5) took the loss behind Daniel Hudson, who did not factor in the decision despite allowing a mere four hits and two walks in seven scoreless frames. Arizona, which did not have a runner advance past first, had lost four straight before this set.

Offense was tough to come by for both teams throughout the game. As a result, the Rockies used their speed to break a scoreless tie in the eighth.

Eric Young Jr. singled with one out and promptly stole second. Fowler then smacked a comebacker that hit off the mound and bounced into center, scoring Young without a play at the plate.

The Rockies left the bases loaded in the top of the ninth, but Street, who blew a two-run lead on Friday, set down Arizona's 2-3-4 hitters in order to notch his 10th save of the season.

Game Notes

Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez was back in the starting lineup for the first time since injuring his knee on Wednesday...Hudson also struck out nine...This was Colorado's third 1-0 win this season. It was also the third time Arizona has lost by a 1-0 score...Arizona was trying for its first home sweep of the Rockies since September 26-28, 2008.

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.
