Alvarez homers twice as Pirates crush Brewers

Baseball Betting Lines

07/21/2010 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Delwyn Young homered and drove in five runs and Pedro Alvarez went deep twice for a second straight night to power Pittsburgh past Milwaukee, 15-3, in the third meeting of a four-game set.

Young finished 3-for-4 with a pair of runs scored, while Alvarez scored three runs and drove in three and Jose Tabata collected two hits, scored three times and knocked in a run to lead the Pirates to their fourth win in the last five games.

Zach Duke (4-9) was the beneficiary of all the offense, allowing three runs -- two earned -- on six hits, while walking two and striking out three over six- plus innings to earn his first win since May 18 for the Buccos, who have won nine of their last 12 home tilts.

Randy Wolf (7-9) was roughed up to the tune of 12 runs on 13 hits over 5 2/3 innings for the Brewers, who have dropped three out of four. He walked two and fanned four while allowing career-highs in runs and hits in his 300th major league outing.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

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.
