A-Rod tries once again for 600th home run in Cleveland
Baseball Betting Lines
07/29/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With Alex Rodriguez still on the verge of reaching one of
baseball's most exclusive milestones, the New York Yankees will wrap up a
four-game series with the Cleveland Indians tonight at Progressive Field.
Rodriguez remains one home run shy of becoming only the seventh player in
major league history to hit 600 for his career. The superstar third baseman
has now gone six games and 26 at-bats since belting No. 599 in a 10-4 win over
Kansas City on July 22.
The three-time MVP still made a significant contribution to the Yankees' 8-0
rout of the Indians last night, going 2-for-5 and knocking in his team's first
run with a first-inning single.
Robinson Cano did deliver a solo home run for New York, while Mark Teixeira
and Brett Gardner each went 2-for-4 with two RBI to help back a strong effort
from starting pitcher A.J. Burnett.
Burnett (9-8) scattered seven hits and struck out seven Cleveland batters over
the first 6 1/3 innings to win his second straight start and lead the Yankees
to their sixth victory in their past eight contests. New York owns the best
record in the majors at 64-36, two games better than fellow American League
East member Tampa Bay.
"He was locating his fastball to the corners as well as I've ever seen it,"
Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner said of Burnett. "Then late in the
count he was throwing the curveball and getting some strikeouts. He was good
[Wednesday]."
Fausto Carmona (10-8) was far less effective for Cleveland, as the 2010 All-
Star was hammered for seven runs and 10 hits before being lifted after only 2
2/3 innings.
"I think the key for us was swinging at strikes," said Rodriguez. "After the
first two innings [Carmona] had 40-plus pitches. That's always a key for us is
to make him throw as many pitches as we can. Even when we make outs, make
productive outs."
Rodriguez will be taking his swings tonight off Mitch Talbot in the Cleveland
rookie's second-ever encounter with the Yankees. The young right-hander was
dealt a loss in an 11-2 road setback to New York on May 31 after allowing
three runs over 6 1/3 innings, with Rodriguez coming through with an RBI
single in two official at-bats against the Indians starter.
Talbot enters tonight's clash mired in a lengthy slump, as he's dropped five
of six decisions since a surprising 7-4 beginning to the season and has posted
a mediocre 5.01 ERA over his last seven starts. He served up two homers and
was tagged for five runs in 5 2/3 innings of a home loss to Tampa Bay last
Saturday, despite registering a career-best eight strikeouts.
The 26-year-old has recorded a respectable 4.08 ERA in his first season with
the Indians, however. Talbot was acquired by Cleveland from the Rays in a
trade this past winter.
New York will give Dustin Moseley his first start of the year tonight as the
team searches for a temporary fill-in for the injured Andy Pettitte. The
right-hander has made four relief appearances for the Yankees since being
called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre earlier this month, including a
excellent 4 2/3-inning stint against Kansas City on Saturday in which he
yielded no runs and only a single hit.
Moseley took over in that game for Sergio Mitre, who was rocked for seven runs
(five earned) and seven hits over the first 4 1/3 frames and sent to the
bullpen as a result of that shaky showing.
The 28-year-old Moseley does have major-league starting experience, having
begun 23 games during a four-year tenure with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim from 2006-09. He also has good lifetime numbers against Cleveland,
sporting a 3-0 record with a 4.35 ERA in three starts and two relief outings
versus the Tribe.
New York took three of four games from the Indians in a late-May series at
Yankee Stadium and has prevailed in nine of the last 12 clashes between the
teams. In their only visit to Cleveland last season, the Yankees won three of
four tests from the Tribe.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
