Hughes aims for sixth win as Yankees and Red Sox meet in NYBaseball Betting Lines05/17/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Phil Hughes tries to become the American League's first six-game winner this evening when the New York Yankees welcome the Boston Red Sox to the Bronx for a brief two-game series at Yankee Stadium. Hughes was again terrific in Detroit on Wednesday, as he lowered his AL- leading earned run average to 1.38 with seven scoreless innings of five-hit ball to win his third straight start and improve to 5-0 on the year. He has also held opponents to an AL-low .165 batting average, and at 23, Hughes is the youngest Yankees hurler to win his first five decisions since Whitey Ford in 1950. Hughes beat Boston two starts ago, holding the Red Sox to a pair of runs and seven hits in seven innings. He is 1-2 lifetime against them with a 5.85 ERA in nine games, three of which have been starts. New York was denied a sweep in its weekend series with the Minnesota Twins on Sunday when Mariano Rivera surrendered a grand slam as part of five-run eighth inning in a 6-3 loss. "In the end, I didn't do my job. Walking in a run, you have control of that ... a home run, anything can happen. It's unacceptable to go in there and do that," said Rivera, who had yet to give up a run through 11 innings entering Sunday's action. "It was low, he just dropped the head of the bat. Those things are going to happen, they're professional hitters." It was also Rivera's first blown save at home since August of 2007, snapping the future Hall of Famer's streak of 51 straight saves in the Bronx. Boston, meanwhile, dropped two of three to the Detroit Tigers over the weekend, falling 5-1 in Sunday's rubber match at Comerica Park. Kevin Youkilis finished with two hits and Jeremy Hermida drove in the lone run for the Red Sox, who fell for the third time in four contests. John Lackey (4-2) suffered the loss after yielding nine hits and five runs with four walks over seven full frames. "I threw a lot better than the line's gonna show," Lackey said. "I had some balls that fell in on me, and had a couple breaks that went the wrong way." Hoping to get the Red Sox back into the win column tonight will be Japanese righty Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is 2-1 with a 6.35 ERA. Matsuzaka was impressive in beating the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, as he held them to a run and three hits in seven innings. He also struck out nine without walking a batter. Matsuzaka is 3-3 in seven starts against the Yankees with a 5.49 ERA. This will be the third series of the season between these fierce rivals, but the first at Yankee Stadium, where the Red Sox went just 2-7 a year ago. The Yankees have won four of their six matchups with Boston this year.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.

After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up. Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
