Structural Damage Leaves Moustakas Against Royals

Baseball Betting Lines

San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Anthony Rizzo had a two-run single and Tim Stauffer tossed seven innings of one-run ball to lift San Diego over Kansas City, 4-1, to complete a three-game sweep. The series sweep was the first of the year for the Padres and the first since they took three games from the Los Angeles Dodgers from September 6-8 last season.

 

Bruce Chen (4-2) took the loss, allowing four unearned runs on eight hits and a walk through six innings. He also fanned six in the Royals' 11th loss in 14 tries.

 

Kansas City struck first after Melky Cabrera doubled to left with one out in the third and came home two batters later on a Eric Hosmer liner to center field, giving the Royals a one-run advantage.

 

San Diego got that run back, plus more, thanks to defensive miscues by third baseman Moustakas in the bottom half of the inning. Tim Stauffer led off the inning by reaching base on a fielding error by Moustakas, and was followed by a Chris Denorfia single to put men on first and second with no outs. It looked like the Padres would leave the frame empty-handed, though, when the next two batters, Cameron Maybin and Chase Headly, hit weak pop ups, but Ryan Ludwick came through with a double down the left-field line to bring in Stauffer.

 

Game Notes

 

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Major League Baseball has suspended free agent pitcher Luis Vizcaino 50 games after he tested positive for metabolites of Stanozolol, a performance-enhancing substance. The 36-year-old Vizcaino won't start his suspension until he signs with a major league club.

 

Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Carpenter went the distance to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles in the middle contest of a three game interleague series at Camden Yards. Carpenter (3-7) gave up a run on seven hits, fanned three and walked one in his second complete game of the season and 31st of his career. He finished the game with 132 pitches -- 91 strikes -- the most he has thrown in a start since he tossed 134 back in 1998 as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays.

 

Chris Jakubauskas (2-1) worked five innings in defeat for the Orioles, giving up five runs on seven hits while fanning a pair and walking three.

 

Nick Markakis accounted for the only run with an RBI double for the Orioles, who have lost seven of their past 11 games.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
