Rockies go for sweep of Reds

Baseball Betting Lines

09/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The red-hot Colorado Rockies look to sweep a four-game set from the Cincinnati Reds when the two teams collide tonight in the series finale from Coors Field.

Colorado has won six straight overall and recorded a 9-2 victory last night behind a big performance from shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who ended 3-for-4 with a pair of homers and four RBI. Seth Smith also went deep for the Rockies, who sit 4 1/2 games off the lead in both the NL West and wild card standings.

"We're doing everything well right now," Smith said. "Baseball is hard to put everything together -- pitching, defense and baserunning. We seem to be doing all three well right now."

Jonathan Herrera and Eric Young Jr. finished with two hits and two RBI apiece in a winning effort. Carlos Gonzalez extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a 1-for-3 effort at the plate.

Rockies starter Aaron Cook earned the win, allowing one run, six hits and a walk in five-plus innings before leaving with a non-displaced fracture in his right leg after being hit with a line drive.

The Rockies are perfect so far on a 10-game homestand. They will also host Arizona and San Diego on the residency. Taking the mound for Colorado Thursday will be Jason Hammel, who has won back-to-back starts and three of his last four decisions. In last Saturday's 6-2 victory at the Padres, Hammel limited San Diego to two runs in 6 2/3 innings for the win.

Hammel, who is 10-7 in 25 starts this season, lost to the Reds back on July 16 and is 0-1 in two career starts against them.

Cincinnati has dropped four in a row, but still leads the National League Central Division by six games over St. Louis.

In Wednesday's seven-run setback, Joey Votto recorded three hits and an RBI, while Paul Janish drove in the other run for the Reds, who fell to 1-5 on a seven-game road trip against the Cardinals and Rockies.

"We had another chance to pick up a game, but on the bright side we didn't lose any ground, either, and there's one less game on the schedule," Reds manager Dusty Baker said in reference to St. Louis losing again. "That's not going to continue. We feel fortunate that that's happened, but we've got to win."

The Reds have lost 18 of their last 21 games against Colorado and last won at Coors Field on August 22, 2008. Reds promising rookie Travis Wood draws the start tonight and he's 5-2 with a 3.19 earned run average in 12 starts. He allowed one unearned run over seven innings in a 6-1 win at St. Louis last Saturday to improve to 5-1 in 10 road appearances.

Wood, a left-hander, lost to the Rockies in his only appearance against them back on July 18, when he tossed six innings of one-run ball in a 1-0 defeat.

Colorado's last four-game sweep of Cincinnati occurred from Sept. 7-10 last season.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
