Baseball Betting Lines

"I wasn't executing anything, and when I did a couple of times they took some good pitches and then I wasn't able to make another good pitch after that," Greinke said. "I just couldn't pitch any worse than I did. It's no one's fault but mine."

 

Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun extended his career-high hitting streak to 18 games with a double leading off the eighth inning.

 

"He struggled with his command tonight," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. "He seemed to really find it near the end more than any other point and seemed to get back on track, but he just couldn't really locate his fastball tonight. He was struggling with that."

 

Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Seattle Mariners have placed catcher Chris Gimenez on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique. Catcher Josh Bard was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to take Gimenez's spot on the roster.

 

To make room for Bard on the 40-man roster, Seattle designated pitcher Edward Paredes for assignment.

 

Edinson Volquez (5-3) gave up three runs on four hits over 6 1/3 innings to pick up his first victory since June 7. He also struck out seven and walked three.

 

B.J. Upton hit a solo homer for the Rays, who got two RBI from Evan Longoria.

 

New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dale Scott has been selected as the crew chief and home plate umpire for the 2011 All-Star Game at Chase Field in Phoenix. Scott, in his 26th year of big league service, will work an All-Star Game for the third time in his career. He was also a part of the crew for the 1993 and 2001 games.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
