Seattle Mariners Salvage Salvage From Beavan

Baseball Betting Lines

Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth left in the sixth inning of Sunday's 10-2 loss to the Pirates with a left wrist injury. Leading off, Werth took a 1-2 offering from Kevin Correia off of a protective guard which covered the wrist.

 

Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Danny Valencia hit a go-ahead, base- clearing single with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to cap a 9-7 comeback victory for Minnesota over Milwaukee in the rubber match of a three-game interleague set. Phil Dumatrait (1-1) earned the win with a scoreless inning of relief as the Twins won for the fourth time in five games.

 

Kameron Loe (2-7) took the loss when he allowed the deciding runs to cross the plate in the seventh inning.

 

Mark Kotsay had a home run and triple while knocking in three runs, but also had a costly error in the Brewers' fifth loss in six games.

 

Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Youkilis' bases-loaded walk in the top of the ninth forced in the deciding run as Boston clipped Houston, 2-1, in the finale of a three-game interleague set. Jacoby Ellsbury notched a pair of hits and Drew Sutton scored the deciding run for the Red Sox, who swept the series and have won four straight overall.

 

Mark Melancon (5-2) walked three in the ninth and took the loss.

 

Papelbon allowed a two-out single to Wallace, but ended the game by striking out Chris Johnson looking.

 

Houston struck in the fifth when Wallace hit a leadoff double and came around three batters later on a Sanchez pinch-hit RBI single.

 

Game Notes

 

Beavan (1-0) was selected 17th overall in the 2007 draft by Texas, and came to the Mariners as part of last year's Cliff Lee trade. The club called him up Sunday, when he allowed only one run to grab the win for Seattle, which went 5-1 against San Diego this season thanks to its strong staff.

 

They set that mark only after David Pauley escaped a bases-loaded situation in the eighth and All-Star Brandon League worked a perfect ninth for his 22nd save.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
