Glavine flirts with perfection as Mets down Astros
Baseball Betting Lines
09/08/2007 -
Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tom Glavine took a perfect game into the sixth
inning, but settled for the 303rd victory of his career as the New York Mets
downed the Houston Astros, 3-1, in the second contest of a three-game series
at Shea Stadium.
Glavine (13-6) won his sixth straight decision and tied Warren Spahn for 13th
place on the all-time starts list with 665. Next up is Walter Johnson, who
holds down the 12th position with 666 starts. The southpaw was perfect through
five innings before Cody Ransom, a Tuesday call-up with September's expanded
rosters, slapped a leadoff single to left in the sixth.
The veteran Glavine regrouped and gave up one run on three hits with four
strikeouts over seven-plus innings. Billy Wagner pitched the ninth for his
31st save, while David Wright hit his 27th home run of the season for the
Mets, who have won seven of eight after getting swept during a four-game
series in Philadelphia.
Woody Williams (8-14) was saddled with the loss after yielding three runs on
five hits with three walks and three strikeouts during six innings. Ty
Wigginton knocked in the lone run for Houston, which has lost four in a row
and six of seven.
The Mets got on the scoreboard thanks to Wright's solo shot in the third then
added another run in the fourth on back-to-back doubles from Shawn Green and
Paul Lo Duca.
The lead grew to 3-0 during the fifth frame as Luis Castillo walked, stole
second, moved to third on Wright's grounder to first and scored when Williams
uncorked a wild pitch.
Houston cut the deficit to 3-1 in the eighth when Wigginton singled home
Carlos Lee, the third straight single to start the frame. However, Aaron
Heilman struck out pinch-hitter Luke Scott, Eric Munson and pinch-hitter Mike
Lamb to strand the two baserunners.
Wagner then worked a perfect ninth with one strikeout.
Game Notes
Wright now has 93 RBI on the season...Castillo stole his 15th base...Green hit
his 29th double, while Lo Duca drove him home with his 14th two-bagger of the
campaign...Houston didn't record an extra-base hit...Lance Berkman committed
his 11th error of the season in defeat...Attendance was 53,061.

NFL Sports Betting
NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North.
Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. NFL Betting
