BoSox rally late to edge O's

Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Cora scored the game-winning run in the
ninth to help the Boston Red Sox to a 5-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles to
complete a three-game sweep at Fenway Park.
In the ninth, Cora led off with a single and Coco Crisp then reached first
with a bunt that just stayed fair along the right line. Jacoby Ellsbury then
laid down a bunt and pitcher Jim Miller (0-1) opted to go to third, but threw
the ball well wide of the bag and Cora came home for the win.
"We won a game that was losable, and we'll take every win we can get," said
Red Sox manager Terry Francona.
Dustin Pedroia went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored while
Mark Kotsay hit a two-run triple for the Red Sox, who have won five of six.
Daisuke Matsuzaka started on the mound and was charged with four runs -- three
earned -- on four hits with four walks and seven strikeouts in six frames.
Justin Masterson (5-4) got the win for throwing two scoreless innings for
Boston, which trails Tampa Bay by three games for first place in the AL East.
The Rays lost, 8-4, to the Yankees Wednesday night.
Aubrey Huff went 2-for-4 with a run scored and Lance Cormier started on the
mound and gave up just two hits in three innings of work for the Orioles, who
have dropped their last six games. Cormier started in place of ace Jeremy
Guthrie, who was skipped a turn in the rotation due to a tired arm.
The Orioles went 0-6 on their road trip, during which time they allowed 60
runs.
"It just wasn't a good road trip, all in all," said Huff. "We didn't even win
a game on the whole road trip. We knew it would be a tough road trip with
these guys and Tampa at their place but we've got a lot of young guys up here
learning on the job and there's going to be a lot of lumps and there's going
to be some peaks and valleys with that. When you go young, you've got to just
keep playing the guys and that's the only way they're going to learn."
Baltimore got on the board in the first inning as Brian Roberts led off with a
double and later came home when Nick Markakis lofted a fly ball to center
field that Crisp dropped for a 1-0 lead.
The Orioles padded their lead further in the fourth. Huff led off with a
single and Oscar Salazar then worked a walk. Luke Scott brought home Huff
with a double to left center and Lou Montanez followed with a groundout to
plate Salazar. After Alex Cintron popped out, Guillermo Quiroz singled to
center to score Scott for a 4-0 lead.
Boston finally got on the board in the seventh inning. Jamie Walker started
the inning on the mound and got the first out, but Pedroia drove a pitch over
the Green Monster. Later with the bases loaded and Rock Cherry on the mound,
Crisp worked a walk to force home Jason Bay and make it a 4-2 game.
The Red Sox then tied the game in the eighth. With one out, David Ortiz walked
and Pedroia then doubled. Kotsay then cleared the bases with a triple off the
center field wall.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15, 2007)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory.
