Baseball Betting Lines
08/13/2010 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeremy Guthrie allowed two hits in six innings and Luke Scott went 3-for-3 with a home run, as Baltimore continued to shine in the Buck Showalter era with a thorough 5-0 win over Tampa Bay.
Guthrie (7-11) issued four walks and struck out three while picking up a third straight win and first on the road in seven starts dating back to May 8.
Adam Jones had a two-run triple amidst a two-hit game, while Felix Pie went 3-for-4 with a run driven in. Scott, meanwhile, added a walk and two runs scored to his ledger while running his home run total to 22 on the year.
The Orioles have won nine of 11 under Showalter and had a four-game win streak broken Thursday to close out a series in Cleveland. They beat the Rays for just the third time in 10 games this season to open a three-game set at Tropicana Field.
James Shields (10-11) was roughed up for 10 hits and four runs in five-plus innings -- his second consecutive subpar outing. He also walked three coming off an eight-run, four-inning start in a 17-11 loss to Toronto last Saturday.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
