Bonderman, Tigers earn split of DH with win in nightcap
Baseball Betting Lines
08/03/2010 -
Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeremy Bonderman allowed one run in 6 2/3 solid
innings, leading the Detroit Tigers to a 7-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox and a split of a day-night doubleheader.
In the opener, Alexei Ramirez was one of four players to drive in two runs in
Chicago's 12-2 rout of Detroit.
The nightcap, though, was all about Bonderman (6-6), who allowed just five
hits and a walk while fanning five in one of his most effective outings of the
season. The righty helped the Tigers snap a three-game losing streak and
remain seven games behind the White Sox in the AL Central -- where they began
the day.
Johnny Damon had three hits, drove in two runs and scored once for Detroit,
while Brennan Boesch had two RBI in the win.
Paul Konerko homered for the White Sox, who had won seven of eight coming into
the contest. Carlos Torres (0-1), making his season debut, gave up five runs,
nine hits and five walks in six innings to receive the loss.
The Tigers plated a run in the first on Boesch's fielder's choice groundout
and tacked on four more in the second.
Ryan Raburn began the big inning with an infield single and immediately came
around to score on Alex Avila's double to left. Torres retired the next two
hitters, but Will Rhymes plated Avila on a single and scored on Damon's double
to right. Damon took third on the play.
After Miguel Cabrera was intentionally walked to put runners on the corners,
Boesch's RBI ground-rule double to left-center increased the Tigers' lead to
5-0.
Meanwhile, Bonderman dominated. The White Sox didn't register a hit until Omar
Vizquel and Konerko both singled in the fourth. With runners on first and
second and one out, Ramirez grounded into a double play to end the inning.
Konerko finally got Chicago on the board in the seventh, leading off the
inning with his 26th home run of the season.
After Bonderman exited with two outs in the seventh, the Tigers' bullpen shut
down the White Sox the rest of the way. Detroit added to its lead in the
eighth when Ramon Santiago scored on an error and Austin Jackson came home on
a fielder's choice.
Game Notes
The White Sox still lead the season series, 4-2...Torres went 1-2 with a 6.04
earned run average last season in eight games, including five starts...Despite
the win, the Tigers went 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position. Chicago
went 0-for-4.

NFL Football Sports Betting
Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.
New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.
His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.
HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.
The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.
RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.
First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.
The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.
These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.
New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
