Tigers continue home set with Orioles after wild opener
Baseball Betting Lines
07/06/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Tigers hope to continue their home prowess this
evening when the American League Central leaders continue their three-game
series with the Baltimore Orioles at Comerica Park.
The Tigers moved into first place on Monday, a half-game ahead of idle
Minnesota, as Brandon Inge went 3-for-4 with four RBI, lifting Detroit to a
12-9 win in the opener. Carlos Guillen went 3-for-4 with three RBI and a run
scored while Miguel Cabrera added two hits, two runs scored and two RBI for
the Tigers, who have taken three of their last four.
Johnny Damon went 3-for-6 with a pair of runs scored in the win and is now one
hit shy of 2,500 for his career.
Andrew Oliver lasted just 1 2/3 innings in the start and was charged with six
runs -- five earned -- on four hits with a walk and a strikeout. Eddie Bonine
(4-0) got the win for working 2 2/3 innings of one-run ball.
"One of the ugliest games I've seen in a long time," said Detroit manager Jim
Leyland. "It was real ugly out there, but it was pretty at the end so I guess
it was worthwhile. Tough day for both teams to play. No one had good pitching
out there."
Jake Fox hit a solo home run and scored twice and Julio Lugo went 3-for-4 with
an RBI and a run scored for the Orioles, who have lost four of their last five
games. Matt Wieters added a two-run single in the ninth.
Kevin Millwood went just one inning in the start as he was tagged for five
runs on four hits with two walks and a strikeout. Mark Hendrickson (1-4) was
handed the loss for giving up three runs over three innings.
"We couldn't put up enough runs out there today," said Fox. "Neither side had
good pitching and at the end of the day we couldn't put up enough runs to get
on top."
Hoping to keep the Tigers at the top of the Central will be right-hander
Armando Galarraga, who has been miserable in his last three starts. Galarraga
lasted just four innings on Tuesday in Minnesota, as the Twins reached him for
six runs and seven hits, dropping him to 3-2, while skyrocketing his earned
run average to 4.50.
Galarraga has lost both of his previous starts to the O's, pitching to a 4.61
ERA in the process.
Baltimore, meanwhile, will counter with one of its young arms in righty Jake
Arrieta, who has lost his last two decisions after winning his first two
starts. Arrieta absorbed the loss on Wednesday against Oakland, yielding four
runs (three earned) and seven hits in six innings. He is 2-2 on the year and
has pitched to a 5.81 ERA.
Detroit took five of its eight meetings with the Orioles last season.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
