07/22/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Red Sox gun for their third straight win this afternoon as they close out a four-game set against the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park in Boston.
On Saturday the Red Sox scored double-digit runs for the second straight game as they defeated the visitors by a score of 11-2. While the home team certainly had it's offense tuned up, it was surprise hurler Kason Gabbard who stole much of the headlines as he tossed a three-hitter over seven innings for Boston. Gabbard fanned one and walked another as he allowed just a single run for the Red Sox, now 7 1/2 games ahead of the New York Yankees for first place in the AL East.
Coco Crisp had another big outing as he went 3-for-4 with five RBI and scored a run for the Red Sox, while Eric Hinske added a pair of hits, two RBI and scored once while David Ortiz was getting an MRI on his left shoulder and is currently listed as day-to-day for the club.
Josh Fields finished up 2-for-4 with an RBI for the White Sox, who lost their second straight outing. Starting pitcher John Danks allowed four runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and three walks over six innings.
The ageless Tim Wakefield takes the hill for the home team this afternoon in an attempt to improve upon his weak 5-10 career record versus Chicago.
The 15-year veteran had won three straight decisions before the Kansas City Royals touched him for six runs on nine hits over 6 1/3 innings on Tuesday. Wakefield fanned just a single batter, but the knuckleballer also kept from walking anyone for the second straight outing and the third time in the last five games.
Wakefield, who is 10 bases-on-balls shy of 1,000 for his career and five strikeouts from 1,750, has a lofty 5.42 ERA in his career versus the White Sox.
As for Chicago, Jon Garland is the man getting the call this time around as he tries to climb over the .500 mark (3-3) against Boston for his career. Garland, who went 18-7 a year ago, has already posted six setbacks in 2007, yet his ERA is below four.
The California native, who is now in his eighth season in the big leagues, last pitched on Tuesday versus Cleveland on the road, permitting a mere three runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings. However, the bullpen failed to close the deal in what turned into a 6-5 loss for the Sox.
Over the last seven games Crisp has been credited with a team-high nine RBI, followed by Julio Lugo who has seven, combining for 16 of the team's 36 runs batted in over the last week. Manny Ramirez has just two RBI during that span, thanks to a pair of home runs, yet has scored six times and is batting .360.
Although he is hitting just .200 in the last week, Paul Konerko has still supplied the White Sox with plenty of scoring punch with three home runs and seven RBI on just five hits. The same goes for Jermaine Dye who also has three long balls and has scored five, while hitting .240 for a team that is now 15 1/2 games out of contention in the AL Central.
Chicago, which has won just three of the last nine games played in Boston, is trailing in the series 14-8 since the start of 2004.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
