Raburn, Tigers use three-run 16th to edge Twins
Baseball Betting Lines
07/04/2009 -
Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ryan Raburn's RBI single in the 16th
proved to be the game-winner as the Detroit Tigers took an 11-9 win over the
Minnesota Twins in a 16-inning contest to open a three-get set at the
Metrodome.
Placido Polanco went 3-for-8 with three RBI and two runs scored and Marcus
Thames had a two-run home run in the win for the Tigers, who had dropped four
of six coming into the game.
Lucas French threw 4 2/3 innings in the start for Detroit and was charged with
two runs on six hits with two walks and three strikeouts. Freddy Dolsi (1-0)
got the win for throwing three innings and giving up two runs -- one earned --
on four hits.
"It was an exciting game, obviously," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. "Two
really good teams going at it bunched up at the top of the division. Give them
a lot of credit (for) battling back, being down like they were. It wasn't the
best of games, but we won it, and there was a lot of good things in the game
and some bad things."
Denard Span went 5-for-8 with two RBI and a run scored while Joe Crede and
Delmon Young each hit a solo home run in the loss for the Twins, who had won
three of four coming into the game.
Kevin Slowey started on the mound for Minnesota, but was pulled after just
three innings as he was tagged for six runs on five hits. R.A. Dickey (1-1)
was tagged with the loss as he gave up four runs on nine hits over three
innings of work.
"I think more than anything it's concerning because it's in my right wrist,"
Slowey, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list following the game with a
strained right wrist, said. "It's in a pretty significant area, and we'll look
at it Monday and go from that. It was something that affected how I held onto
the ball. It was very uncomfortable."
In the top of the 16th with one out, Ramon Santiago singled and Curtis
Granderson followed with a double. Polanco then put the Tigers ahead with an
RBI and, after Miguel Cabrera fouled out, Raburn singled to right for a two-
run lead. Magglio Ordonez then singled to center to score Polanco for an 11-8
lead.
The Twins got a run in the bottom of the frame on a RBI groundout off the bat
of Michael Cuddyer, but that was the second out of the inning and Crede
grounded out to end the game.
Detroit jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second inning on a two-run triple by
Josh Anderson followed by a sacrifice fly from Gerald Laird.
The Tigers tacked on three more runs in the third inning. Granderson led off
with a single and came around home on a double by Polanco. Thames later
smacked a pitch over the left field wall for a 6-0 lead.
Minnesota got a run in the bottom of the third on an RBI single from Justin
Morneau, but Detroit got it back in the fourth on a solo home run off the bat
of Laird.
Young made it a 7-2 game in the bottom of the fourth thanks to a solo home
run, his third of the year.
In the sixth, the Twins rallied in to tie the game. Crede started the inning
by launching a pitch over the wall in left. With men on first and second, Span
legged out a triple and then came home when Brendan Harris followed with a
triple.
After Fu-Te Ni took the mound, a sacrifice fly off the bat of Joe Mauer made
it a 7-7 game.
In the top of the 14th, Laird led off with a single and moved to second on a
sacrifice bunt from Santiago. After Granderson flied out, Polanco laced a
single up the middle to give Detroit a one-run lead.
However, the Twins didn't go quitely in the bottom of the frame as back-to-
back singles from Joe Mauer and Morneau to start the frame was followed by a
single from Michael Cuddyer that went off the glove of third baseman Brandon
Inge to tie the game. On the play, Morneau was thrown out at third and Dolsi
retired the final two batters to keep the game going.

Stanley Cup betting
New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
