Cabrera's homer pushes Yanks past A's in 14th inning

Baseball Betting Lines

04/22/2009 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Melky Cabrera blasted two homers, including the game-winning two run shot in the 14th inning, as the New York Yankees outlasted the Oakland Athletics, 9-7, in the first extra-inning game at the new Yankee Stadium.

Cabrera now has four homers on the season for the Yankees, who have won three straight and four of five. Hideki Matsui and Derek Jeter, playing in his 2,000th career game, also homered, while seven of the nine New York starters had two hits in the game.

CC Sabathia was roughed up for seven runs -- six earned -- on six hits and four walks in 6 2/3 innings. He only fanned two, and his earned-run average rose to 4.81 in four starts thus far in 2009. Jose Veras (1-1) got the win for pitching 3 1/3 innings of relief, and the New York bullpen, as a whole, pitched 7 1/3 frames of scoreless baseball, allowing three hits and three walks.

Kurt Suzuki blasted a three-run homer, while Matt Holliday went 2-for-6 with an RBI for the Athletics, who have dropped four consecutive games. Brett Anderson yielded five runs on nine hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings, and former Yankee Dan Giese (0-2) was tagged with the loss after allowing Cabrera's homer in the 14th.

A two-out rally off Michael Wuertz put the Yankees in front in the home sixth. After Cabrera was thrown out trying to steal second, Cody Ransom roped a two- out double down the left-field line and scored on Jeter's double to left- center.

Johnny Damon put runners on the corners with a swinging bunt, and Mark Teixeira made it 7-5 with an RBI single to right field, scoring Jeter.

The A's knotted the game in the seventh. Bobby Crosby reached on an infield single and moved to second on a walk by Ryan Sweeney. Orlando Cabrera bunted the runners into scoring position, and Jason Giambi made it a one-run game with an RBI groundout.

Holliday followed with an RBI single up the middle to make it 7-7 and knock Sabathia out of the game.

The Yankees had the bases loaded with nobody out in the bottom of the seventh, but Russ Springer struck out Melky Cabrera and retired Brett Gardner and Jeter on pop ups to get out of the jam.

After two scoreless innings, the Athletics had runners on the corners with two outs in the 10th, but Crosby popped out to Jeter to end the inning.

Neither team threatened until the Yanks won in the 14th. With Giese pitching his third inning, Swisher drew a leadoff walk and scored on Melky Cabrera's two-run shot to right field two batters later.

Oakland took a 3-0 lead in the second on Suzuki's three-run homer to left field.

Matsui and Melky Cabrera hit back-to-back solo homers in the second to cut the Yankees' deficit to one.

Several defensive miscues led to an Oakland run in the third. With one out, Giambi popped up to shallow left, but Damon was unable to catch the ball, and Giambi ended up on second base. Holliday lined the next pitch off the tip of Ransom's glove at third to put runners on the corners.

Jack Cust came up next and grounded weakly to Sabathia. The pitcher threw to Jeter for the force out at second, and Jeter threw home as Giambi broke for the plate; however, Jorge Posada had run up the first base line, and nobody covered home. The ball sailed to the backstop, and Giambi scored easily for a 4-2 advantage.

The Yankees tied the game in the home third. Teixeira led off with a single and moved to third on a Posada double. Robinson Cano drove in a run with a groundout to second, and Posada scored the tying run on Swisher's single to center.

New York went ahead, 5-4, on Jeter's two-out solo shot to center in the fourth inning.

But Oakland tied it in the sixth, as Cust walked with one out, moved to second on a groundout and scored on a single up the middle from Mark Ellis.

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.
