Baseball Betting Lines

08/28/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Asdrubal Cabrera's home run leading off the 10th inning was the difference, as the Indians beat the Royals, 4-3, in the second of three games at Progressive Field.

Cabrera finished with two hits for the Indians, who have won three straight. Shin-Shoo Choo added two RBI, while Michael Brantley had two hits, an RBI and a run scored in the win.

Chris Perez (2-2) got the win for a scoreless inning of work. Jeanmar Gomez was in line for the win initially after giving up two runs on six hits and two walks in 5 2/3 frames.

Wilson Betemit homered and drove in all three runs for the Royals, who have lost four of five. Zack Greinke lasted eight innings, allowing three runs, eight hits and four walks, but Jesse Chavez (2-2) was saddled with the loss after giving up Cabrera's blast.

Brantley led off the bottom of the first with a double, moved to third on Cabrera's sacrifice and scored on Choo's groundout.

The Indians added two more runs in the second.

Matt LaPorta doubled with one out, and Lou Marson drew a two-out walk. Brantley followed with an RBI single, and Cabrera and Choo both walked consecutively to force in another run, increasing the cushion to 3-0.

The Royals threatened in the fifth, putting runners on the corners with nobody out, but Gomez induced a fly out from Chris Getz and got Gregor Blanco to line into a double play to escape unscathed.

Kansas City finally got on the board in the sixth on Betemit's two-run homer, but Tony Sipp limited the damage in the inning and threw a scoreless seventh to keep Cleveland ahead.

The Royals, though, tied the game in the eighth.

Joe Smith issued a leadoff walk to Jason Kendall, and Rafael Perez entered and threw a wild pitch to allow Kendall to scamper to second. Betemit followed with an RBI double, though Rafael Perez was able to keep the game tied through the ninth.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
