Tigers edge Mets to avoid sweep

Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Magglio Ordonez clubbed a two-run homer and
Ryan Raburn added a solo blast, as the Detroit Tigers fended off the New York Mets, 6-5, in the finale of a three-game interleague series at Citi Field.
Raburn finished 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored for the Tigers, who
avoided getting swept. Armando Galarraga (3-1) gave up four runs on five hits
and walked three over six innings to record his first win since his infamous
near-perfect game on June 2 against Cleveland.
David Wright stroked an RBI double for New York, while starter Hisanori
Takahashi (6-3) yielded six runs on eight hits and four walks in four-plus
innings.
The Mets fell to 11-4 against the American League this season.
Down 6-1, the Mets scored three runs in the sixth to get back into the
contest.
Jose Reyes led off with a walk, advanced to third on a Jesus Feliciano single
and came home on a double by Wright. Ike Davis hit a run-scoring groundout and
Jason Bay followed with an RBI single to trim New York's deficit to 6-4.
Eddie Bonine took over for Galarraga in the seventh and fanned Henry Blanco
before hitting Ruben Tejada with a pitch. Tejada advanced to second on a wild
pitch and scored when Chris Carter grounded a single to right field.
Phil Coke entered from the bullpen after Bonine yielded a single to Reyes. An
infield single by Feliciano loaded the bases, but Wright struck out and Davis
flied out to end the inning.
The Mets stranded the tying run at second in the eighth.
Detroit's Jose Valverde tossed a 1-2-3 ninth for his 17th save.
The Tigers pushed a run across in the first inning on Miguel Cabrera's
sacrifice fly. A two-run blast to left field by Ordonez made it 3-0 in the
third.
New York had men on the corners with no outs in the fourth, but picked up just
one run on a double-play grounder off the bat of Davis.
Raburn homered to left off Takahashi leading off the fifth. The Japanese left-
hander gave up consecutive singles and walked Brennan Boesch to load the
bases. Elmer Dessens replaced Takahashi on the mound and promptly walked
Brandon Inge to force in another run. After Gerald Laird flied out, Danny
Worth beat out a potential double-play ball to give the visitors a five-run
lead.

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.
