09/02/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - David Ortiz drove in a pair of runs and Adrian Beltre homered as Boston used an early burst of offense to down Baltimore, 6-4, in the rubber match of a three-game set from Camden Yards.
Mike Lowell finished with two hits and an RBI for the Red Sox, who took the final two games in the series after losing three in a row.
Daisuke Matsuzaka (9-4) went 5 2/3 innings for the win, allowing four runs on six hits with six strikeouts.
Matt Wieters went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles and drove in two for the Orioles, who had won four in a row before dropping the final games in the set. Ty Wigginton and Nick Markakis also knocked in a run in defeat.
Brad Bergesen (6-10) lasted 5 1/3 innings in the setback, charged with eight hits and five runs (two earned) while walking five and fanning four.
The Red Sox put up five runs in the second inning, starting with Beltre's lead-off homer. Jed Lowrie walked and Lowell singled before Lowrie scored on a Wigginton fielding error. Ryan Kalish then doubled home Lowell and Ortiz capped the burst with a two-run single.
Matsuzaka limited the O's to two hits through five innings, but the home team chased him with four runs in the sixth. Josh Bell began with a single and Brian Roberts doubled ahead of a Markakis RBI hit. Wigginton followed with a run-scoring groundout for a 5-2 game, then Luke Scott walked. Two batters later Wieters doubled to score two, but Scott Atchison stopped the rally by striking out Nolan Reimold.
Ortiz started the seventh with a walk, moved up when Beltre was hit by a pitch, advanced to third on a flyout and scored on Lowell's fielder's choice grounder for a 6-4 contest.
Atchison and Hideki Okajima combined for a scoreless eighth but Jonathan Papelbon got into trouble in the ninth before ending up with his 35th save.
He allowed singles to Felix Pie and Wieters, then a sacrifice bunt from pinch- hitter Corey Patterson. Cesar Izturis fanned swinging, then Bell did the same on a 3-2 outside fastball to end the game.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
