San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Melvin Mora hit a two-run single to snap a
seventh-inning tie, lifting the Colorado Rockies to a 4-2 win and sending
National League West-leading San Diego to a 10th straight loss.
Troy Tulowitzki clubbed a solo home run and added a run-scoring groundout for
the Rockies, who have won six of their last nine games to climb within 4 1/2
games of the Padres in the division.
Jorge De La Rosa (6-4) limited San Diego to six hits and two walks over six
frames. His lone mistake came in the sixth inning, when Miguel Tejada tied the
game with a two-run homer.
Padres starter Clayton Richard did not figure in the decision after he worked
six innings, allowing two runs -- one earned -- and nine hits with three
walks.
San Diego is in the midst of its longest slump since a franchise-worst 13-game
skid from May 8-21, 1994. The Padres also had their lead over second-place San
Francisco trimmed to 1 1/2 games. The Giants play in Los Angeles later Sunday.
Tejada's blast erased a 2-0 deficit, but Colorado quickly responded in its
next turn at the plate.
Tim Stauffer (3-3) replaced Richard on the mound and struck out Ryan
Spilborghs to open the seventh. Stauffer was then lifted in favor of Mike
Adams after Carlos Gonzalez singled and Tulowitzki walked.
Following a double steal, Mora stroked a base hit past the drawn-in infield to
put the visitors on top.
Matt Belisle retired all six batters he faced in relief of De La Rosa. Huston
Street gave up a bunt single to Tejada to begin the ninth, but the Colorado
closer struck out three in a row to earn his 15th save.
The Rockies got on the board when Tulowitzki homered to open the fourth.
Colorado picked up another run in the fifth. With runners on the corners,
Spilborghs scored on Tulowitzki's grounder to third.

Colorado recorded its first series sweep on the road this season...Gonzalez
went 3-for-5 to extend his hitting streak to 13 games...Tejada played in the
2,000th game of his career...Colorado has won 11 of its 15 meetings with the

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines
Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

Saints +6 @ Colts -6
Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)
