Cano lifts Yanks over Rays; A-Rod still stuck on 599

Baseball Betting Lines

07/31/2010 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Just after Alex Rodriguez failed to club career homer No. 600, Robinson Cano belted a solo shot to right field with one out in the ninth inning, providing the New York Yankees with a 5-4 win over the Rays, snapping Tampa Bay's seven-game winning streak.

Rodriguez went 0-for-3 with a walk and scored once, but he hasn't gone deep since July 22 against Kansas City. He popped out to a stumbling Jason Bartlett in short left field leading off the ninth against Rafael Soriano (2-1), but Cano then crushed a 1-0 offering to right field to give the Yankees a two-game lead over Tampa Bay in the AL East.

Mark Teixeira added a two-run homer and Nick Swisher a solo blast for the Yankees, who won for the eighth time in 11 games.

Matt Garza, pitching for the first time since his no-hitter against Detroit on Monday, lasted seven innings, allowing five hits and four runs while fanning nine batters.

Javier Vazquez yielded eight hits and four runs over 6 1/3 innings. David Robertson (2-3) pitched the eighth inning to get the win and Mariano Rivera recorded his 22nd save.

Cano had three hits as did Tampa Bay's John Jaso, but the Rays failed to pull even with the Yankees, who capped a big day at the non-waiver trading deadline. Earlier Saturday, the Yankees finalized a trade for first baseman Lance Berkman, who along with cash considerations, came from Houston. New York shipped pitcher Mark Melancon and minor league infielder Jimmy Paredes to the Astros. The Yankees also obtained relief pitcher Kerry Wood from Cleveland for a player to be named later or cash.

Berkman started at designated hitter and went hitless in four at-bats.

Evan Longoria's sacrifice fly scored Jaso in the first inning, but the Yankees tied it in the second on Curtis Granderson's sac fly.

Carl Crawford singled in Jaso in the third and the Rays stretched the lead to 3-1 in the fifth via Bartlett's sac fly, but Teixeira homered with Derek Jeter on base in the sixth to even the score.

Matt Joyce homered to right field in the bottom of the sixth, but Swisher's 20th of the season tied the game again in the seventh.

SPORTS BETTING

NFL Football Betting Online

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.

It is called the "pointspread."

Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.

But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.

A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.

In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.

The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
