Sabathia goes for 17th victory as Indians battle Angels
Baseball Betting Lines
09/08/2007 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - C.C. Sabathia goes for win No. 17 this evening when the
Cleveland Indians continue their four-game series with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Angel Stadium.
Sabathia, who is one win off the pace of New York's Chien-Ming Wang and
Boston's Josh Beckett for the major league lead, has been brilliant for the
Tribe this season, going 16-7 with a 3.24 earned run average. He is coming off
of two straight wins against the Minnesota Twins, outdueling reigning AL Cy
Young Award winner Johan Santana both times.
On Monday Sabathia scattered six hits over eight scoreless innings to nail
down the win. He has given up no more than two earned runs in any of his last
nine starts. A win today would match his career high he set in his rookie
season set in 2001.
Sabathia beat the Angels earlier in the year and is 4-5 lifetime against them
with a 4.96 ERA.
Los Angeles will counter with righty Ervin Santana, who is 6-12 with a 6.07
ERA. Santana earned his first win since June 9 on Monday against Oakland, as
he held the A's to just two hits over 6 1/3 scoreless innings.
Santana has faced the Indians four times, losing all four contests, while
pitching to a 9.19 ERA.
In the second game of this set on Friday, Kendry Morales' run-scoring single
in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Angels to a 3-2 win. Garret
Anderson drove in a run for a franchise-record 12th consecutive game while
Chone Figgins was 3-for-4 with three runs scored for the Angels, who have won
four of their last five games and increased their comfortable lead atop the AL
West to nine games over reeling Seattle.
Figgins led off the frame by slicing a Rafael Betancourt (4-1) pitch to right
for a double and moved to third on Orlando Cabrera's sharply hit fly ball to
right. Betancourt then issued an intentional pass to the red-hot Anderson in
order to face Morales, who was 0-for-4 to that point. The designated hitter
came through and lined a 1-2 breaking ball down the right-field line for the
game-winner.
John Lackey allowed just one run on six hits in seven innings for LA but
failed to win his 17th game of the year when star closer Francisco Rodriguez
blew a one-run lead in the ninth.
Scot Shields (4-5) earned the win with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief.
Ryan Garko homered for the Indians, who still lead Detroit in the AL Central
by five games. Grady Sizemore added a run-scoring single.
The Angels have won five of their eight matchups with the Indians this season
and are 15-10 in the series since the start of the 2005 campaign.

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.
