Mariners end Yankees' seven-game win streak
Baseball Betting Lines

Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Russell Branyan belted a two-run homer and the
Mariners pounded CC Sabathia early on the way to an 8-4 win, ending New
York's winning streak at seven contests.
Franklin Gutierrez had three hits, including a solo homer, and Ichiro Suzuki
doubled twice and drove in two runs for the Mariners, who had lost their
previous 10 games in the Bronx.
Chris Woodward also had two RBI for Seattle, which won for the eighth time in
its last 12 contests overall. The Mariners also averted a sweep in the finale
of the three-game series.
Jason Vargas allowed four hits and four runs over the first four frames in the
start for the Mariners. Miguel Batista (5-2) threw two hitless innings to get
the win.
Hideki Matsui belted a two-run homer and drove in three runs for the Yankees,
while Robinson Cano had three hits and scored twice.
Sabathia (7-5) was charged with 10 hits and six runs over 5 2/3 innings. He
also walked three and struck out eight and lost for just the second time in
his last 11 starts.
Matsui's homer to right field in the fourth had the Yankees within 6-4.
Seattle wasted a bases-loaded chance in the sixth, but then added to their
lead in the ninth off Alfredo Aceves. Suzuki reached safely on first baseman
Mark Teixeira's throwing error.
Branyan, who had a career-high 10-game hitting streak snapped by striking out
four times Wednesday night, then smoked the first pitch over the wall in
center. It was the first home run hit off the glass facing of the Mohegan Sun
Sports Bar at Yankee Stadium.
David Aardsma nearly loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the
ninth, giving up singles to Cano and Nick Swisher to begin the frame. Matsui
then flied out to center field in a 10-pitch at-bat. Melky Cabrera also flied
out and pinch-hitter Jorge Posada fanned to end the game.
Suzuki started the game with a double, stole third with one out and scored on
a Jose Lopez groundout.
Seattle expanded the margin to 3-0 in the second. Gutierrez homered to left
field. Kenji Johjima and Ryan Langerhans followed with singles before Woodward
lifted a sacrifice fly.
A Swisher sac fly got the Yankees on the scoreboard in the bottom of the
frame, and a dropped ball by Suzuki in right field allowed Cano to score for a
one-run difference.
Woodward's RBI single and a Suzuki two-run double to the gap in left-center
increased Seattle's lead to 6-2.

Yankees for just the third time in the last 14 matchups...Suzuki recorded his

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
