Rasmus hits HR on second chance as Cards beat Giants in 10 inningsBaseball Betting Lines07/01/2009 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pablo Sandoval dropped Colby Rasmus' foul pop up in the 10th frame -- the last of three Giants errors -- then Rasmus slugged a game-winning home run to right-center, as St. Louis edged San Francisco, 2-1, at Busch Stadium. The home run, Rasmus' eighth of the season, made a loser of Bob Howry (0-4) and a winner of Ryan Franklin (2-0), who pitched one flawless frame. Albert Pujols had two hits and was on base four times and Ryan Ludwick drove in the other run for the Cardinals, who had lost six of seven prior to Wednesday's win. Aaron Rowand and Randy Winn each had two hits and Bengie Molina drove in the only Giants run. Starter Matt Cain didn't factor in the decision, but allowed just one run on six hits with three walks and three strikeouts over seven frames. His counterpart, Adam Wainwright, went the first nine frames, surrendering one run on six hits with a staggering 12 strikeouts and three walks. The Cardinals got to Cain in the first then no more after that. Skip Schumaker singled, moved to second on an error, and Ludwick singled him home on a single to right. Chris Duncan lined into a double play to end a further threat. St. Louis wasted a bases-loaded chance in the third and San Francisco finally scratched out the tying run in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Fred Lewis knocked a double to right, but stayed there on Rowand's infield hit -- a bang-bang play that replays showed Rowand was actually retired on. Winn was then walked to load the bases with nobody out, but one out later, Molina skied a deep sacrifice fly to center. Nate Schierholtz struck out to end the frame. The Cardinals also loaded the bases in the home half, as Pujols singled, stole second, Duncan walked and a brain cramp on the part of Giants shortstop Edgar Renteria kept the frame alive. The shortstop went to second instead of first on a slow roller and Yadier Molina beat it out to load the bases. Sergio Romo regrouped and struck out Joe Thurston to end the threat. Game Notes Cain's ERA sits at 2.48...The Giants have still won six of the last eight meetings...Pujols is batting .337 on the season...Wainwright's earned run average is now at 3.32.

FOOTBALL BETTING LINESNFL Football Sports BettingTwo playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers. New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count. New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend. His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates. HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game. The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup. RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day. First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08. The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition. These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years. New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
