Posey puts 20-game hit streak on the line as Giants battle Marlins
Baseball Betting Lines
07/28/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rookie Buster Posey tries to extend his 20-game hitting
streak this evening when the San Francisco Giants and Florida Marlins resume
their four-game series at AT&T Park.
San Francisco stayed hot on Tuesday, as Juan Uribe led off the bottom of the
eighth inning with a tie-breaking homer off Brian Sanches and Edgar Renteria
added a two-run shot later in the frame, lifting the Giants to a 6-4 win.
Posey had an RBI single in the third inning to extend his streak, while
Andres Torres went 3-for-4 and scored twice for the Giants, who won for the
fifth time in six contests and moved within 2 1/2 games of San Diego for first
place in the NL West.
Dan Uggla belted a pair of solo homers for the Marlins, who lost for just the
third time in their last 11 games. Cody Ross added a two-run homer in defeat.
Both starting pitchers lasted seven innings with Florida's Josh Johnson
allowing eight hits and three runs. Matt Cain gave up four hits and three
runs, while logging six strikeouts.
"It was a nice win, especially who we were going against tonight," Giants
manager Bruce Bochy said.
Johnson had gone 13 straight starts without allowing more than two earned
runs, a streak dating back to May 8 when he surrendered three runs to the
Washington Nationals. The only streak longer was Mike Scott's amazing 14-game
run with the Houston Astros in 1986.
"When you allow only three runs and you call that an off day it is amazing,"
Marlins interim manager Edwin Rodriguez said. "We should have scored for him.
He kept us in the game."
Posey, meanwhile, is batting .450 with 23 RBI during the majors' longest
active hitting streak, and the second-longest ever by a San Francisco rookie
since Hall of Famer Willie McCovey's 22-gamer in 1959.
Hoping to slow Posey down tonight will be righty Alex Sanabia, who is 1-1 with
a 2.11. Sanabia did not get a decision on Friday against Atlanta, which
managed just a run and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings.
Sanabia has never faced the Giants, who will pin their hopes on Jonathan
Sanchez. Sanchez is 7-6 on the year, but has not received a decision in his
last three starts. He gave up a run and four hits in five innings on Friday in
Arizona, but did not factor in the decision of his team's 7-4 win.
Sanchez is 0-1 in three games (one start) with a 7.36 ERA.
San Francisco swept a three-game set from the Marlins earlier in the year and
has won six of the last eight meetings in the series.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout
An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half.
Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either.
Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition.
Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout.
Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper".
22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great.
Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition.
Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night.
Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good.
Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig".
Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good.
22-year old AJ Talbado, who has tried out for American Idol five times, was up next. "Kind of a theme park performance" said Simon. Though the judges felt he performed okay. Simon did feel AJ might be better than he originally thought.
Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start.
Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
