Seven-run third inning propels Rays to win over O's

Baseball Betting Lines

07/19/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Wade Davis threw eight strong innings and was backed by a seven-run third inning, as the Tampa Bay Rays crushed the Baltimore Orioles, 8-1, in the opener of a three-game series at Camden Yards.

Davis (7-9) held the Orioles to one run on seven hits and one walk to get the victory for a second consecutive start. His eight innings pitched are a season high.

Jason Bartlett had a two-run single in the third inning and finished 2-for-3 for Tampa Bay, which was coming off a series loss to the Yankees in the Bronx. Evan Longoria went 3-for-5 with an RBI.

Orioles starter Chris Tillman (1-4) didn't make it through three full innings and was the victim of the Rays' outburst. He was responsible for giving up all eight Rays runs, allowing seven hits and walking four while recording just eight outs.

Cesar Izturis went 2-for-2 and drove in the lone run for the Orioles, who were swept in three games by Toronto over the weekend. Baltimore scored just five runs in that series.

Ben Zobrist put the Rays ahead with an RBI ground-rule double in the second, and Tampa Bay blew the game open in the third. Longoria led off with a single, Tillman hit Carlos Pena with a pitch, and Matt Joyce lined a double to right to plate the inning's first run.

John Jaso worked a walk to load the bases, with still nobody out, prompting a coaching visit to the mound. But Tillman continued to struggle, walking B.J. Upton to force in a run. Bartlett followed with a single to center to bring in two and leave runners on the corners for Sean Rodriguez, whose sacrifice bunt brought Upton home.

Tillman retired Zobrist to set up a possible escape from the inning, but Carl Crawford tripled, bringing Bartlett in from second base. That was it for Tillman, who was replaced by Matt Albers. Longoria returned to the plate for a second time and singled in Crawford to make it an 8-0 game before Albers struck out Pena.

Albers pitched 3 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, but the massive inning was all the Rays needed, and there was little scoring for the rest of the game. Izturis put the Orioles on the scoreboard with an RBI single in the fifth.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value

If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture.  Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).

For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot.  The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.

TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the  drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.

"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,'  it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."

"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.

Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash.  Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
