inning to end Baltimore's shutout bid.
Boston's John Lackey (9-4) gave up four runs on eight hits in 7 1/3 innings to
take the loss.
The game remained scoreless until the fourth inning, when Markakis led off
with a double, advanced to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch.
Adam Jones then stroked a single and raced home on a two-out single by Scott
Moore.
Baltimore's Miguel Tejada doubled to start the eighth. Julio Lugo entered as a
pinch-runner and moved up to third on a Markakis single before a throwing
error allowed him to score. Markakis went to third on the miscue and came home
on an Adam Jones sacrifice fly.
Lugo recorded an RBI triple in the next inning and scored on a base hit by
Markakis to make it 6-0.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:
Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)
Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5
Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1
Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
