04/24/2010 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Magglio Ordonez and Miguel Cabrera keyed a five-run fourth inning with back-to-back RBI doubles and the Tigers bullpen hurled six scoreless innings, as Detroit doubled up Texas, 8-4.
Johnny Damon poked an early two-run double, walked three times and scored twice for Detroit, which dropped the opener to this four-game series Friday on Elvis Andrus' game-winning hit in the ninth.
Brad Thomas, making an emergency start in place of Dontrelle Willis, pitched three innings and gave up four runs on eight hits and two walks. Willis was scratched due to illness.
The bullpen scattered three hits and issued one walk the rest of the way with Eddie Bonine (2-0) picking up the win.
Scott Feldman (1-2), who had his start pushed back a day by a stomach virus, was hit around for eight runs -- four earned -- on eight hits and four walks in 3 2/3 frames. Two of those runs scored on a wild pitch.
Vladimir Guerrero had three hits and three RBI for the Rangers, who had won two in a row after dropping six straight. Andrus added two hits and drove in one.
Trailing 4-3, Detroit rallied to score five runs with two outs in the fourth and take control of the game.
The Tigers had a pair in scoring position with two down when Feldman uncorked a wild pitch. Rangers catcher Taylor Teagarden couldn't track the ball off the backstop and Ramon Santiago chugged home from second behind Ryan Raburn to put the Tigers ahead, 5-4.
Damon walked and stole second before Ordonez and Cabrera cracked back-to-back RBI doubles to chase Feldman. Doug Mathis took over and surrendered a run- scoring single to Brennan Boesch, whose first career RBI gave Detroit an 8-4 advantage.
The Tiger bullpen posted zeros the rest of the way. Thomas gave way to Bonine to start the bottom half and only three Texas batsmen reached base in his three innings of work, one on an error.
Joel Zumaya entered in the seventh for Detroit and dominated by fanning five in two innings. Michael Young beat out an infield single in the ninth before Jose Valverde closed it out.
Guerrero's two-run double opened the scoring in the first inning, and Texas went up 4-0 with run-scoring hits by Andrus and Guerrero in the second.
Detroit countered with a three-spot an inning later. Adam Everett and Austin Jackson opened the third with base hits and Damon roped a double into right field. Both runners scored and Damon was able to take third on the throw home. Ordonez followed with an RBI groundout.
Game Notes
Thomas was making his first start since 2001. He's appeared in four games out of the bullpen for Detroit this season...Everett left the game in the third inning with a strained right hamstring for Detroit...Zumaya has yet to give up a run in 12 innings of relief this season. He also has 13 strikeouts...Mathis pitched 4 1/3 innings and gave up just three hits with three walks and two punchouts...Cabrera drove in his major league-leading 22nd run...Damon's stolen base was his first of the season.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.

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.
