Brewers have brooms ready for Astros

Baseball Betting Lines

08/08/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Right-hander Yovani Gallardo tries to beat the Houston Astros for the second time this season and complete a series sweep when the Milwaukee Brewers entertain the visitors in the finale of a three-game weekend set at Miller Park.

Milwaukee made it two in a row on Saturday when George Kottaras belted a solo homer and Rickie Weeks hit an inside-the-park home run in a 5-2 triumph.

Prince Fielder drove in a pair of runs and Corey Hart went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Milwaukee's fourth victory in five games.

Randy Wolf (8-9) picked up the win after allowing two runs on nine hits and a walk in 6 2/3 innings. Trevor Hoffman pitched a perfect ninth for his first save since May 7.

Brett Myers (8-7) was on the opposite end of the decision, surrendering four runs on seven hits in a six-inning start. It was the most runs Myers allowed since yielding seven against the Brewers on June 29.

Gallardo, a 24-year-old Mexican export, allowed seven hits and four runs while beating Houston, 7-5, on June 29 and raising his career record against the Astros to 6-2 in eight starts with a 2.72 earned run average.

He's split four starts since, including a six-inning effort in which he gave up two hits and a run with 12 strikeouts while beating the Chicago Cubs, 18-1, on Aug. 2 at Wrigley Field.

Just one start before, he was ripped for 10 hits and six runs in 2 2/3 innings of a 12-4 home loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

Gallardo is 4-4 in 10 home starts with a 3.39 ERA.

Houston replies with lefty Wesley Wright, who starts for the fourth time in his 10th big-league appearance of the season.

The 25-year-old earned his first win of 2010 against the Brewers on Aug. 1 in Houston, allowing four hits and two runs in seven innings of a 5-2 victory.

He'd split time between the bullpen and starting assignments in nine previous outings while allowing 26 hits and 17 runs in 19 1/3 innings.

Wright reached the majors with the Astros in 2008 and had made 120 straight relief appearances before his initial career start on July 20, resulting in a no-decision at Wrigley Field against the Cubs.

Houston has won six of its 11 meetings with the Brewers this season.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
