07/21/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Rays will attempt to bounce back from a frustrating loss to the Baltimore Orioles when the two American League East inhabitants square off again this afternoon at Camden Yards, but it looks like as if they'll have to do so without the services of one of their best players.
The last-place Orioles evened this three-game series by virtue of last night's 11-10, 13-inning victory, in which the Rays twice failed on chances to close out the contest. Baltimore scored twice in the bottom of the ninth inning to send the game into extra frames, then once more in the 12th after Tampa Bay took a brief 10-9 lead in the top of the inning.
Baltimore finally prevailed when Cesar Izturis drew a leadoff walk off Lance Cormier (3-2) in the bottom of the 13th, advanced to second on a sacrifice, and scored on Julio Lugo's base hit to right.
"This was a total team effort," said Lugo. "Everybody did a little bit of something. We make plays together."
Izturis also ignited the Orioles' ninth-inning rally with a leadoff single against Rays closer Rafael Soriano. Felix Pie followed with a double before Miguel Tejada drove home both runners with a two-base hit that knotted the score at 9-9.
Tampa Bay went back ahead on Willy Aybar's RBI single in the top of the 12th, but Baltimore again answered in its half of the inning when Corey Patterson doubled and later crossed the plate on Scott Moore's sacrifice fly.
Tejada also delivered a two-run double in the bottom of the seventh, while Luke Scott homered twice and finished 3-for-4 with three RBI to help the Orioles stop a four-game slide. Ty Wigginton and Adam Jones each added solo blasts to Baltimore's 16-hit attack.
Tampa Bay received solo home runs from Matt Joyce, B.J. Upton and Reid Brignac on the night, but couldn't hold onto a four-run lead and lost for the third time in five games since the All-Star break. Aybar ended 2-for-6 and knocked in three runs in the disappointing defeat.
"This was a game we should've won but we didn't," said Tampa manager Joe Maddon. "I give [the Orioles] credit -- they played very hard and they kept coming after us. I commend them for their competitive spirit."
Tuesday's loss was made more painful when Rays outfielder Carl Crawford was forced to leave the game in the first inning after being hit in the groin by a pickoff attempt from Baltimore starter Jake Arrieta. The 2010 All-Star is considered day-to-day, but likely won't be in the lineup this afternoon.
On a positive note, the Rays remained 2 1/2 games behind the Yankees for first place in the AL East after New York lost to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Tuesday.
Tampa Bay had won 10 of its 12 most recent meetings with the Orioles, including six of seven bouts to begin this season, prior to yesterday's setback.
James Shields, who'll be toeing the rubber for the Rays this afternoon, has also fared quite well when facing the Orioles over the years, having amassed a 6-2 record with a 3.01 ERA in 16 career starts. He's been especially good pitching at Camden Yards, where the right-hander owns a 3-0 mark and a 2.70 ERA over seven previous visits.
The past two months haven't been good for Shields, however, as he enters this afternoon's tilt having lost eight of his past 10 decisions and registered a subpar 6.75 ERA during that 10-start span. Home runs have been a particular issue for the usually-steady hurler, who's served up 12 long balls in 60 innings of work over his rough stretch.
Shields allowed two more homers in his first start after the All-Star break, but still managed to hold the heavy-hitting New York Yankees to three runs over six innings this past Friday. He did not get a decision in an eventual 5-4 Tampa loss.
In his only prior encounter with Baltimore this season, Shields permitted three runs and struck out six in a six-inning no-decision at Tropicana Field on April 6.
Orioles scheduled starter Brad Bergesen has also been in a serious rut as of late. The second-year hurler has taken a loss in three straight outings and dropped five consecutive decisions since a May 12 victory over Seattle, while surrendering four runs or more seven times in that eight-start sequence.
Bergesen's slide continued when he was reached for four runs and nine hits through six innings against Toronto last Friday at Camden Yards. The right- hander was even less effective when taking on the Rays at home back on April 14, with Tampa Bay scoring eight runs (five earned) and homering twice before he was removed after only three innings.
The 24-year-old also lost his only previous start against the Rays, which also took place in Baltimore, and has allowed 12 runs (nine earned) over 8 2/3 innings versus today's opponent.

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.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
Be sure to log on to MySportsbook.com to check out the complete odds for NFL MVP as well as all of the new football related futures. With the popularity of NFL futures, these betting lines will be sure to change as the money comes in; get the early sports lines now.
