Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier and Casey Blake
homered to back the solid pitching of Vicente Padilla as the Los Angeles Dodgers took down the Florida Marlins, 7-3, in the middle portion of a three-
game series.
Rafael Furcal ran his hit streak to 10 games and drove in three runs as the
Dodgers won for the sixth time in eight contests. He has scored a run in 12
straight games, an LA Dodgers record. Furcal tied Gil Hodges 12-game streak
from June 2-14, 1953, when the franchise was in Brooklyn.
Padilla (3-2) had a season-high nine strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings to win his
second straight start. The right-hander was charged with six hits and two
runs.
"Vicente was great, he kept throwing strikes," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said.
"Everybody was making a contribution. We're playing with a lot of confidence
right now."
Chris Volstad (4-8) permitted five hits and five runs over three-plus innings
and has just one victory in his last 11 starts. He was optioned to Triple-A
New Orleans following the game.
"I fell behind hitter and only half of my pitches were for strikes," Volstad
said. "It's tough to be sent down, but there's stuff I need to do better."
Mike Stanton clubbed a two-run homer in the seventh inning and knocked in all
three runs for Florida, which had won its previous two games.
Furcal singled in Russell Martin and Blake DeWitt in the second inning. Furcal
then stole second before Kemp homered to left field for a 4-0 lead.
Blake homered with one out the following inning and it became 6-0 on Ethier's
lead-off blast to right in the fifth.
Stanton went deep with Cody Ross on base in the seventh, but Furcal knocked in
DeWitt with a base hit in the eighth for a 7-2 difference.
Stanton singled in Dan Uggla in the ninth. With runners on first and second
and one out, Jonathan Broxton entered from the bullpen and retired pinch-
hitter Wes Helms on a fly ball to center field. Chris Coghlan then grounded
out to end the game, giving Broxton his 18th save.
Game Notes
Furcal is hitting .512 (22-for-43) during his hitting streak...Florida had 10
hits, but went 1-for-7 with men in scoring position...Shawn Green (2002) and
Davey Lopes (1979) both scored a run in 11 straight games for the
Dodgers...The Marlins announced they will recall RHP Burke Badenhop from New
Orleans to take Volstad's spot.

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.
