Tigers chew up White Sox
Baseball Betting Lines
09/07/2010 -
Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Justin Verlander pitched seven strong innings
to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 9-1 win over the Chicago White Sox in the
continuation of a four-game series.
Verlander (15-8) allowed one run on five hits with seven strikeouts for the
Tigers, who bounced back from a 10-inning loss in Monday's opener and won for
the fourth time in their last six games overall. Brandon Inge belted a three-
run homer and Johnny Damon added a two-run blast in the victory. Jhonny
Peralta added two RBI for Detroit.
Freddy Garcia started on the mound for Chicago but left after two innings with
lower back stiffness. Garcia (11-6) was dealt the loss with a line that showed
two runs allowed on three hits. Lucas Harrell provided four innings of long
relief and was charged with four runs -- none of which were earned -- on six
hits with two strikeouts and three walks.
Juan Pierre posted two hits and scored the only run for the White Sox, who
fell to four games behind the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins. Chicago also
saw its seven-game win streak halted.
A slugger from both teams left the game early. Detroit's Miguel Cabrera lasted
six innings but felt soreness in his shoulder, while newly-acquired Manny
Ramirez of Chicago exited after he was hit by a pitch in the eighth.
In the home first, Damon's towering two-run homer to right gave the Tigers an
early lead.
The Sox trimmed their deficit in half in the top of the third inning. Pierre
hit a one-out double and scored when Omar Vizquel followed with a base hit to
right field.
However, a four-run effort in the bottom of the third moved the Tigers ahead
for good. Harrell replaced Garcia to begin the stanza and the first batter he
faced, Austin Jackson, reached first base on a fielding error. Jackson was
then bunted to second before a two-out intentional walk to Cabrera.
Don Kelly ripped a single and Jackson scored, and another ChiSox error put two
runners in scoring position. Another two-out base hit by Brennan Boesch
brought home Cabrera and the rally was capped via Peralta's two-run double to
right field. Peralta was cut down at third to end the frame.
From there, Verlander cruised. He worked around a two-out single in the fifth
and tossed a scoreless sixth. In the top of the seventh, A.J. Pierzynski hit a
one-out double, but Mark Kotsay and Pierre both flied out.
Robbie Weinhardt closed it out with two scoreless relief innings for Detroit
and in the eighth, Inge provided more insurance runs with a three-run blast
that cleared the wall in left.
Game Notes
Garcia failed to earn his ninth straight victory as an opposing pitcher
here...Verlander upped his career mark against the ChiSox to 6-9...The Sox
still lead the season series, 8-5, including a 5-2 mark at Comerica Park.

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.
