Bannister helps Royals shut out Indians
Baseball Betting Lines
04/22/2009 -
Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brian Bannister threw six strong innings to
lead the Kansas City Royals in a 2-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians in the
middle installment of a three-game set at Progressive Field.
Bannister (1-0), making his first start of the season in lieu of Doug Waechter
(strained elbow), gave up four hits with two walks and a strikeout to get the
win. He is now 4-1 with a 1.62 ERA in six career starts against the Indians.
Joakim Soria tossed a scoreless ninth to get his fifth save of the year.
Willie Bloomquist went 1-for-3 and drove in a run for the Royals, who snapped
a two-game slide. David DeJesus also had an RBI in the win, while Coco Crisp
went 2-for-4 and scored a run. Mike Jacobs scored the other run for KC.
Reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee (1-3) was the hard-
luck loser, as he went eight innings and was touched for just two runs on nine
hits with five strikeouts and only one walk. Lee had his personal five-game
win streak against the Royals snapped. Tony Sipp made a strong major league
debut with a perfect ninth inning.
Victor Martinez went 2-for-4 to notch his ninth multi-hit game of the season
for the Tribe, who have alternated wins and losses for the past six games.
The Royals grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Crisp led off with a
double, moved to third as Mike Aviles flied out to right and crossed home when
DeJesus offered a sac fly to right.
The offenses went dormant for the next few innings, until KC added another run
in the seventh. Jacobs clubbed a one-out single and Alberto Callaspo followed
with another base hit before Miguel Olivo popped out. Bloomquist then made it
2-0 with an RBI single back up the middle.
The Royals threatened again in the eighth. Billy Butler had a two-out single
and Mark Teahen followed with a double to the gap in left-center. However,
Trevor Crowe launched a throw to Jhonny Peralta, who relayed it to Kelly
Shoppach at home to catch Butler trying to score.
Soria came on in the ninth to try and close it out for the Royals and got
Travis Hafner to ground out, though Peralta drew a walk. Shin-Soo Choo, the
potential tying run, added a single but Shoppach flied to left for the second
out. During Crowe's at-bat a passed ball advanced both runners into scoring
position, but Crowe was caught looking at the third strike to end the game.
Game Notes
It was KC's third shutout this season, which is the most in the American
League...Lee, who went 22-3 with a 2.54 earned run average in 31 starts a year
ago, opened the 2009 campaign with consecutive losses to Texas and Toronto
before rebounding against the New York Yankees on Thursday. He only gave up
one run at the new Yankee Stadium after allowing 11 over the previous two
starts, and scattered seven hits in six innings of a 10-2 win. The veteran
left-hander has pitched at least five innings in each outing this season and
had owned the Royals throughout his career. Lee was 12-4 with a 4.47 ERA in 19
career starts against them coming in...Kansas City took two of three games
from Cleveland last week at Kauffman Stadium and has won six of the last eight
matchups between the teams.

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.
