Kinsler, Wilson lead Rangers past Astros

Baseball Betting Lines

06/26/2010 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ian Kinsler finished with two hits including a three-run homer as Texas got back on the winning track with a 7-2 decision over Houston in the middle test of a three-game interleague set.

Nelson Cruz was 3-for-5 with a triple for the Rangers, who had their 11-game win streak halted with a loss in the series opener on Friday. Elvis Andrus added two RBI and Vladimir Guerrero had two hits and knocked in a run.

C.J. Wilson (6-3) worked seven innings in the win, allowing five hits and two runs for Texas, which has won 15 of their last 17 contests.

Jason Michaels went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run for the Astros, whose three-game win streak was halted.

Josh Banks (0-1) was charged in defeat for eight hits and six runs with four walks over four-plus innings. He was pressed into service for injured starter Felipe Paulino and recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Michaels' two-run shot in the fourth put Houston ahead by a run but the Rangers responded with four in the home half to take the lead for good. Justin Smoak worked a leadoff walk before Max Ramirez plated him with a double. With one out Michael Young singled and Kinsler launched a three-run blast for a 5-2 score.

Singles from Cruz and David Murphy in the fifth preceded Andrus' two-out, two- run single which gave the home team a five-run bulge.

Wilson allowed two baserunners in the sixth, but a run was saved as Hunter Pence was thrown out at the plate trying to score on Michaels' double. He'd exit by retiring the Astros in order in the seventh.

Darren O'Day stranded a pair of runners in the eighth then Frank Francisco fanned a pair in a scoreless ninth.

Texas got on the board in the third, as Kinsler doubled and Guerrero singled him in before being thrown out at second.

Game Notes

Rangers centerfielder Josh Hamilton extended his hitting streak to 20 games with a single, making it the 14th total 20-game hit streak in Texas franchise history...The Rangers improved to 19-5 in the month of June...Banks went 1-1 with a 7.15 ERA in six games (three starts) for San Diego in 2009.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.

Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:

Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
