Baseball Betting Lines

06/05/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - James Loney's run-scoring single broke a tie game in the seventh and sent the Dodgers to a 5-4 win, snapping the Braves' nine-game winning streak in the process.

Clayton Kershaw went 6 2/3 innings in the start and gave up four runs -- three earned -- on five hits and five walks with eight strikeouts. Hong-Chih Kuo (1-1) picked up the win despite blowing the lead in the top of the seventh, and Jonathan Broxton fanned two of three batters in the ninth for his 14th save.

Rafael Furcal chipped in with an RBI triple and scored twice for Los Angeles, which won its fifth game in six tries after dropping the opener to this four- game series, 4-3, on Thursday.

Yunel Escobar had three hits and drove in three, while Kenshin Kawakami (0-8) remained winless in 11 starts this season for the Braves. The Japanese right-hander went 6 1/3 innings and yielded five runs on nine hits. His last win came August 31 of last season.

Atlanta was riding its longest winning streak since a franchise-best 15-game run from April 16-May 2, 2000.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
