Giants and Rockies clash in ColoradoBaseball Betting Lines09/17/2011 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rookie lefty Eric Surkamp makes another start on the fringes of the playoff race tonight as the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants visit Coors Field for the third of four games against the host Colorado Rockies. The Giants pounded out 13 hits en route to a 9-1 pummeling of the Rockies in game two on Friday and pulled within five games of the Atlanta Braves in the chase for the National League's wild card playoff berth. San Francisco is six games behind Arizona in the NL's West Division. Cody Ross, Brandon Belt and Chris Stewart all homered and Aubrey Huff picked up three hits, including a double, for the Giants, who have won six straight. Madison Bumgarner (12-12) gave up one unearned run on six hits over seven innings while fanning three and walking one. He also contributed offensively with a pair of hits. Jordan Pacheco had three hits, Thomas Field picked up two hits and Wilin Rosario scored the only run for the Rockies, losers in three of their last four games. Alex White (2-2) lasted 5 2/3 innings, giving up six runs on nine hits while striking out three and walking three. Surkamp, a 24-year-old from Cincinnati, was a sixth-round pick of the Giants in 2008 and reached the majors on Aug. 27, when he tossed six innings of one- run ball for a no-decision in the Giants' 2-1 win over Houston. He returned to beat San Diego on the road on Sept. 6, then did the same thing at home six days later to improve to 2-0. In 16 2/3 innings, he's allowed 18 hits and six earned runs while walking five and striking out six. Surkamp was 10-4 at Double-A Richmond and 1-0 at Single-A San Jose this season before the call-up to the big leagues, posting a 1.94 earned run average across 148 1/3 innings. Going for the Rockies is another rookie lefty, 22-year-old Drew Pomeranz, who makes his second big-league start. The fifth overall pick of the Cleveland Indians in 2010, Pomeranz came to Colorado as part of the trade deadline deal for Ubaldo Jimenez in July. He debuted on Sept. 11 against Cincinnati and was superb, allowing just two hits in five scoreless innings of a 4-1 victory. Pomeranz, a native of Memphis, Tenn., was 4-3 with three minor-league teams and had a 1.78 ERA in 101 innings before his promotion. San Francisco has won nine of 13 versus Colorado this year and 13 of the last 18 meetings overall.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season. Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.

Football Betting LinesThe 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite. Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense. Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively. A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season. Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back. Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick. And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
