Fukudome helps Cubs down PiratesBaseball Betting Lines09/01/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kosuke Fukudome finished 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, two runs scored and an RBI as the Chicago Cubs set aside Pittsburgh, 5-3, in the finale of a three-game set from Wrigley Field. Tyler Colvin, Micah Hoffpauir, Koyie Hill and Jeff Baker each knocked in a run for the Cubs, who took two of three in the series. Thomas Diamond (1-3) picked up his first major-league win, despite allowing two hits and two runs in 1 2/3 innings of relief. Starter Tom Gorzelanny exited after 2 2/3 innings when a line drive from Jose Tabata struck his left hand. Carlos Marmol recorded the final four outs, and fanned three in a scoreless ninth to earn his 25th save. Neal Walker had three hits including a solo homer while Andrew McCutchen drove in two runs for the Pirates, who have lost five of six. James McDonald (2-5) took the loss after yielding eight hits and three runs, fanning six and walking two over five full frames. After Walker's ninth home run of the season tied the game in the third, the Cubs moved ahead for good in the home half. Starlin Castro singled with one down and Fukudome followed by doubling him in. Two batters later, a Colvin double plated Fukudome for a 3-1 contest. McCutchen doubled home McDonald with one out in the fifth to get within a run, but Chicago tallied twice in the seventh on a Hoffpauir RBI single and a base hit from Baker to score Fukudome. McCutchen's bases-loaded walk against Marmol in the eighth made it 5-3, but the Cubs closer fanned Tabata to end the frame. Marmol then struck out the side in the ninth to close out the game. Hill drove in Darwin Barney, who singled with two out in the second, to get the Cubs on the board. Tabata's line-drive with one out in the third deflected off Gorzelanny's hand before being caught by Chicago second-baseman Blake DeWitt. Game Notes Pittsburgh still leads the season series, 10-5, including five of nine at Wrigley...Mike Quade improved to 6-3 since taking over for Lou Piniella...Prior to the game, the Pirates recalled outfielder John Bowker from Triple-A Indianapolis.

FOOTBALL BETTING LINESNFL Football Sports BettingTwo playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers. New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count. New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend. His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates. HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game. The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup. RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day. First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08. The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition. These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years. New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
