Rockies try to pin ninth straight loss on reeling PadresBaseball Betting Lines09/04/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Diego Padres try to avoid a ninth straight loss this afternoon, when they play the middle test of their three-game series with the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park. San Diego's slide continued in the opener of this set on Friday, as Jason Giambi and Troy Tulowitzki each hit two-run homers that lifted the Rockies to a 4-3 win. Aaron Cook (5-8), who was activated off the disabled list to make the start, got the win after limiting the Padres to two runs on four hits and four walks in 6 1/3 innings. The Rockies, who snapped a three-game skid, now trail the Padres by 6 1/2 games in the National League West. San Diego, though, did not lose any ground to second-place San Francisco, as the Giants lost to Los Angeles on Friday and still sit three games behind the Padres. "I think you saw [Friday] we played a good crisp game," said Padres skipper Bud Black. The intensity is there, the focus is there, our guys want to win. I don't see us pressing." Cory Luebke (0-1) made his major league debut for San Diego and pitched five innings in taking the loss. He walked two and allowed five hits, two of which were Colorado home runs. Heading to the hill for the Padres this evening will be righty Jon Garland, who had a three-start winning streak stopped the last time he pitched. Garland was defeated by the Philadelphia Phillies last Saturday, as he allowed three runs and three hits in 6 1/3 innings of a 3-1 setback. Garland lost to the Rockies the last time he faced them and is 1-1 with a 3.66 ERA in three starts against them. Colorado will counter with righty Jason Hammel, who is 9-7 with a 4.32 ERA. Hammel earned his first win since August 6 Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, holding them to a pair of runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 frames. He struck out seven and walked three in the win. Hammel defeated the Padres back on July 10 and is 2-0 lifetime against them with a 4.84 ERA in eight games, seven of which have been starts. Colorado has won nine of its 13 meetings with the Padres in 2010, including wins in five of the seven matchups held in San Diego.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season. In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
