Mora, Francis help Rockies rout MarlinsBaseball Betting Lines07/20/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Melvin Mora finished a triple shy of the cycle and Jeff Francis tossed seven scoreless innings, as the Colorado Rockies dominated the Florida Marlins, 10-0, in the second test of a four-game series at Sun Life Stadium. Mora went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and five RBI for the Rockies, who bounced back from a 9-8 loss in the opener of this series on Monday. Francis (3-3) fanned a season-best seven batters and allowed just three hits to pick up his first victory since June 13. The left-hander was 0-1 with an 8.03 earned run average in his previous five starts. Florida starter Nate Robertson (6-8) got rocked in five innings, giving up eight runs -- seven earned -- on six hits. The 32-year-old southpaw also struck out five and walked two in his second straight loss for the Marlins, who had a three-game winning streak snapped. The Rockies exploded for six runs in the third to take control. Ian Stewart singled and Clint Barmes walked to get the frame started. Francis put down a bunt and reached first on Robertson's fielding error to load the bases. Dexter Fowler forced in a run when he was hit by a pitch. Robertson's control issues continued when he walked Jonathan Herrera to plate another run. Mora stepped to the plate and cleared the bases with a double. Chris Iannetta added an RBI double two batters later to make it a 6-0 game. Mora's two-run homer to left in the fifth gave Colorado an 8-0 lead. Francis retired 12 straight batters before giving up a leadoff single to Jorge Cantu in the home fifth. The Rockies added two more runs in the seventh to make it a 10-0 game. Brad Eldred drove in a run with an infield single and Stewart walked with the bases loaded to force in a run. Game Notes The Rockies took two of three from the Marlins at home from April 24-25...Florida was without outfielder Chris Coghlan (back)...Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez (finger) missed the game...Robertson fell to 0-3 lifetime against Colorado.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game. Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta. "Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half. Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either. Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition. Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout. Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper". 22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great. Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition. Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night. Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good. Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig". Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good. Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start. Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
