Baseball Betting Lines
05/25/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Dempster dominated the Dodgers over eight
shutout frames, and Derrek Lee drove in all of Chicago's runs in a 3-0
victory.
Dempster (3-4) struck out seven, walked one and scattered just three hits in
outdueling Clayton Kershaw (4-3), who had won three straight starts coming
into Tuesday's game. The Dodgers southpaw gave up one unearned run on four
hits with four strikeouts and two walks over six frames.
Lee hit his sixth home run of the season in the eighth and singled home the
other run for the Cubs, who have won three in a row.
The Dodgers managed as many singles (three) as errors in dropping their second
straight.
The game's first run came in the bottom of the sixth with the aid of shoddy
defense. Ryan Theriot reached on a fielding error by Rafael Furcal then stole
second and scored on Lee's single to center.
The Dodgers had two men on base in both the second and fourth frames, but
failed to score. Starting with Xavier's Paul's strikeout to end a scoring
opportunity in the fourth, Cubs pitching retired 16 straight Dodgers to end
the game.
Chicago added a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth as Lee's
two-run shot made the score 3-0.
Game Notes

while reliever George Sherrill took his place on the DL with a stiff back.

of errors...Kershaw has surrendered two earned runs over his last four starts,

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
