05/31/2010 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Rodriguez hit a grand slam to highlight a six-run seventh inning and ended with six RBI, as the Yankees closed out a four-game series against the Indians with a 11-2 victory.
Andy Pettitte (7-1) rolled through Cleveland's lineup for seven innings, allowing just four hits -- one a Jhonny Peralta solo homer -- with five strikeouts and zero walks.
Robinson Cano extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a solo home run and later chipped in a two-run single.
Rodriguez finished with three hits -- the others an RBI double and run-scoring single. It was his 20th career grand slam, passing Eddie Murray for third place on the all-time list.
Brett Gardner added three hits and an RBI, while Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher each picked up two hits and scored twice as New York picked up its fifth win in seven games behind a season-high 18-hit attack.
Indians starter Mitch Talbot (6-4) was charged with three runs on nine hits in 6 1/3 innings. A combination of Rafael Perez and Chris Perez came on to surrender five runs during the fateful seventh frame without retiring a batter.
It was a 2-1 Yankee lead going into the seventh where everything fell apart for Cleveland.
Gardner began the onslaught with a single, but was quickly erased on an attempted steal of second. Derek Jeter then singled, but was replaced by a pinch-runner. He had taken a pitch to the back of his left thigh in the second inning. Yankee manager Joe Girardi indicated after the game the hamstring had stiffened as the game went along.
Rafael Perez came on for Talbot and gave up a base hit to Granderson, uncorked a wild pitch to advance the runners and intentionally walked Mark Teixeira to load the bases.
Chris Perez was called upon to limit the damage, but instead served up a 3-1 fastball that Rodriguez crushed to dead center. Cano then ripped a pitch over the wall in right and Swisher doubled to bring Jamey Wright out of the pen.
Francisco Cervelli capped the frame's scoring with a sacrifice fly to make it an 8-1 affair. New York stretched its lead further with Rodriguez's RBI double and Cano's two-run single in the eighth.
Pettitte, meanwhile, had retired 14 straight following a Mark Grudzielanek single in the third leading up to New York's huge seventh inning. Chan Ho Park took over where Pettitte left off by retiring the next five before hitting a snag with two outs in the ninth. He put three on and gave up a Shelley Duncan RBI single before getting the final out.
The Yankees got on the board in their first at-bat. Granderson lifted a ground-rule double to right and came home two batters later on Rodriguez's base hit into right-center.
Peralta turned on a Pettitte fastball and put it well into the right-field bleachers leading off the second for his 100th career home run.
The game remained tied until the fourth when Swisher led off with a double and Gardner laced a two-out single to center for a 2-1 edge.
Game Notes
The Yankees took three of four in the series after winning five of the eight matchups a year ago...Pettitte lowered his earned-run average to 2.48 on the season with three earned runs and no walks over his last two starts (15 innings). He evened his record at 8-8 in 20 career starts against the Tribe and was 0-4 in his previous six starts against the Indians in the Bronx...It was A-Rod's seventh homer this year and 590th of his career. Only Yankee legend Lou Gehrig (23) and Dodgers left fielder Manny Ramirez (21) have more career grand slams than Rodriguez...Cano hit his 11th home run this season and is batting .450 (27-for-60) with eight doubles, two homers and 17 RBI over his hitting streak....Gardner was caught stealing twice in the same game for the first time in his career.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
