Upton's sac fly lifts Rays over Sox in 11th

Baseball Betting Lines

10/12/2008 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fernando Perez raced home on B.J. Upton's sacrifice fly in the 11th inning, giving Tampa Bay a dramatic 9-8 win over the Boston Red Sox to cap a wild Game 2 of the American League Championship Series.

A total of seven home runs were hit in the game, tying a postseason record. That included two by Boston's Dustin Pedroia, but in the end, the gritty Rays evened the best-of-seven series.

Evan Longoria had three hits, including a homer, and drove in three runs. Upton also homered off Josh Beckett, as did Cliff Floyd for the Rays.

Kevin Youkilis and Jason Bay homered for Boston, which went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left 13 men on base.

Mike Timlin (0-1) walked Dioner Navarro to start the bottom of the 11th. Perez then came on as a pinch-runner, and Ben Zobrist drew a walk. Jason Bartlett grounded out to third, but the runners moved up a base and Timlin intentionally walked Akinori Iwamura before Upton lofted a fly ball to short right field. J.D. Drew made the catch, but his throw home was toward the third base line, and Perez was easily safe.

David Price (1-0), the first overall pick in last year's draft, recorded the final two outs of the top of the 11th to get the win.

The series shifts to Boston for Game 3 Monday afternoon. Matt Garza is the expected starter for the Rays, while Jon Lester gets the ball for the Red Sox.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds:

Saints +6 @ Colts -6

Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em)

Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em)

Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5

Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1

Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3
