Padilla, Dodgers shut down CubsBaseball Betting Lines07/11/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Vicente Padilla pitched eight innings of shutout ball, and the Los Angeles Dodgers routed the Chicago Cubs, 7-0, in the finale of a four-game set from Dodger Stadium. Padilla (4-2) allowed just two hits and a walk while fanning six for the Dodgers, who took three games in this series and head into the All-Star break with a 49-39 record, two games behind San Diego in the NL West. Jamey Loney hit a three-run homer and drove in four in the resounding victory. Carlos Silva (9-3), who came into the game with seven straight quality starts, was hammered for six runs, six hits and three walks in just 1 1/3 frames before being ejected while arguing a call at first base. Silva came into the game 5-0 on the road this season and 3-0 against the Dodgers in his career. Ryan Theriot doubled twice to account for half of Chicago's hits, and the Cubs, at 39-50, are 9 1/2 games off the pace in the NL Central. The Dodgers got all the offense they would need in the first inning. Rafael Furcal led off the frame with a double, and Matt Kemp worked a four-pitch walk. Two batters later, Loney deposited the first pitch he saw over the wall in right-center for a 3-0 lead. The hosts added three more runs in the second. Blake DeWitt started the inning with a single, and Padilla was able to reach base on a bunt that was meant as a sacrifice. Furcal drew a walk, and Kemp lofted a sacrifice fly for a 4-0 advantage. After Ethier was intentionally walked, Loney reached on an infield single that scored Padilla. On Loney's hit, first baseman Xavier Nady appeared to beat Loney to the base, but the call was safe. Silva argued the play to no avail and was ejected. Two batters later, Mitch Atkins issued a bases-loaded walk to Xavier Paul to make it 6-0. Ethier scored on a double play in the fourth to push the margin to seven. Meanwhile, Padilla dominated. The Cubs failed to record a hit until Starlin Castro's leadoff double in the sixth, and Padilla retired the next three hitters to strand the runner. Chicago's best chance to score came in the ninth off Hong-Chih Kuo, who allowed two hits before getting out of the inning unscathed. Game Notes Kuo was named to the All-Star Game on Sunday as a replacement for Atlanta's Jason Heyward. He will be the first Taiwan-born player to appear in the Mid-summer Classic...The Dodgers optioned struggling starting pitcher John Ely to Triple-A Albuquerque and recalled pitcher Jon Link from the same club Sunday...The Dodgers won the season series, 4-3.

FOOTBALL BETTINGAfter all the trouble that’s ensued since Braylon Edwards allegedly punched one of LeBron James’ homeboys in the face at a club, the Cleveland Browns have sent away their last remaining player of worth to the New York Jets. This is a great move for Dirty Sanchez and all, but it’s even better for the Knicks. Now Donnie Walsh can say, “You get to haunt Braylon Edwards with your posse if you sign here!” next summer. Putting that aside for a moment, the move is a clear indication that the new-look Jets are gunning for the Super Bowl this year. I don’t think that New York thought that Dirty Sanchez was going to be such a rock star. With a 75.2 passer rating that was killed against the Jets, Sanchez is doing an admirable job of managing games and putting the Jets in a position to win. The defense has been the major story in New York thus far, but the acquisition of Braylon Edwards makes this offense loaded with talent that can dent any defense…as long as Dirty Sanchez continues his meteoric rise. Thus far, Edwards has been a non-factor in the NFL piling up just 139 receiving yards on 10 catches. He has yet to find the endzone, and with the Browns mired in the most unsexy quarterback controversy of all time (Anderson vs. Quinn...yawn), there going nowhere fast. Edwards is two seasons removed from a career year which saw him catch 80 passes for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns when the Browns were the spread killing monsters of 2007. In 2008, injuries slowed the receiver down to just 873 yards and three touchdowns though he played in all 16 games. So that being said, we really don’t know if Braylon Edwards is just a flash in the pan, or a legit threat. At 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, he is a prototypical receiver. But he’s also shown a strange, and unwarranted, talent for dropping passes. Lining up opposite Jericho Cotchery, a speed demon with 23 catches, 356 yards and a single touchdown, may give Braylon the open looks he needs. A change of scenery may also rejuvenate the star receiver. In return, the Browns will receive Chansi Stuckey, online football betting a special teams player you’ve never heard of and a pair of draft picks. That’s a tall order for a guy whose only real value right now is in his name, and it shows no promise to the Browns that they can rebuild around those acquisitions. Braylon was the only reason to hope for the Browns to go 3-14 SU this year. Without him, they don’t have a single guy on offense that can scare any team. For the Jets, it’s a response to the pounding that they took at the hand of the Saints. Thomas Jones and Leon Washington have averaged around 4.0 yards per carry each on the ground, but striking a fair balance between the passing and rushing attacks in New York has been a struggle. You have to believe that the trio of Dustin Keller, Jericho Cotchery and Braylon Edwards will give Sanchez the weapons he needs to unleash through the air. Theoretically, that would open up holes for the rushing game. But the proposed public option health care plan works in theory too. We need to see the proof in the pudding before we start loading up mega bucks on the New York Jets to take the AFC. The one wrinkle in this whole thing is that Braylon could very well be suspended by the league for disciplinary action due to his “brawl” with LeBron’s friend. If that’s the case, the Jets may have to bench him for a few games leaving them with a somewhat depleted receiving corps for a few games. Also, this is a guy who gets in fights with people at clubs. New York may not be the best place for him. Just sayin’. The Jets have a long week before they meet the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football Betting in a virtual pick ‘em game. Braylon’s excess baggage may be a distraction, and his curiously low production may be what we should be expecting of him overall, but for the Jets, taking a chance to strike gold is well worth it. At the end of the year, they can simply just blame it on their rookie quarterback. To visit this sportsbook go to MySportsbook.com for all your college football betting needs. |
