A-Rod's homer pushes Yankees past M's, to seventh straight winBaseball Betting Lines07/01/2009 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Rodriguez continued his recent power surge, belting the go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning that lifted the New York Yankees to their seventh straight victory, 4-2, over the Seattle Mariners. Andy Pettitte (8-3) threw seven solid innings to get the victory. The left- hander surrendered six hits and a pair of runs, while walking one and fanning five. Mariano Rivera retired the side in order in the ninth for his 502nd career save and third in as many games. It was his 20th of the season. Johnny Damon and Melky Cabrera also homered for New York, which won at home over Seattle for a 10th straight time. Ken Griffey Jr. smacked a solo homer for the Mariners, who came into this series winning four of five contests, but are now in danger of being swept in the three-game set. Jarrod Washburn (4-6) was charged with eight hits and four runs over seven frames. The lefty has dropped six of his last seven decisions and has just one victory since April 21. Mark Teixeira singled to left to start the bottom of the sixth, and Rodriguez then drilled the 0-1 offering from Washburn over the wall in dead center field. It was his fourth homer in the last six games. He has 13 RBI over his last seven contests. Pettitte, Alfredo Aceves, Phil Coke and Rivera combined to no-hit the Mariners over the final three innings. Damon homered to right with two outs in the third, but the Mariners tied it in the next inning when Jose Lopez scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of Wladimir Balentien. Cabrera homered over the foul pole in left field with one out in the fifth. Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu came out to argue the call, but it stood even after umpires met for a video replay. Griffey homered to right field with two outs in the sixth. He has now homered in 44 different ballparks, one less than Sammy Sosa, who holds the all-time record. Game Notes Pettitte is 10-11 all-time against the Mariners...Rodriguez has 13 homers this season and 566 for his career...Seattle right fielder Ichiro Suzuki finished 0-for-4 and had his 12-game hit streak snapped.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence Work left to do: Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8. Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday. DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ... West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule. Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
