Rockies top Marlins in slugfest
Baseball Betting Lines
07/05/2008 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Iannetta drove in four runs, including the
game-winner in the bottom of the ninth, as the Colorado Rockies trailed by as
many as nine runs but rallied for a wild, improbable 18-17 win over the
Florida Marlins in the second of a four-game set at Coors Field.
With Kevin Gregg on to close with a 17-16 lead, Clint Barmes and Matt Holliday
started the ninth with back-to-back singles. Garrett Atkins then ripped a
liner to left for a single, and Barmes sprinted home with the tying run. Jeff
Baker hit a grounder to second that looked to be a surefire double play, but
Hanley Ramirez dropped the flip to second and the bases were loaded. Iannetta
then slapped a grounder through the drawn-in infield to give the Rockies one
of the most unlikely victories in franchise history.
The teams combined for 43 hits and eight home runs -- six from the Rockies --
in the slugfest. The nine-run deficit is the largest the Rockies have ever
overcome and the largest lead the Marlins have ever lost.
Atkins finished 5-for-6 with three runs batted in and three runs scored for
the Rockies, who picked up their second straight win in their final at-bat and
fourth in a row overall. Holliday homered twice -- including a grand slam --
and drove in five runs, while Spilborghs was 4-for-5 with a pair of long
balls, three RBI and four runs scored. Barmes also had four hits and scored
three times.
The rally made an unlikely winner out of Taylor Buchholz (3-2) who worked a
scoreless ninth. Starter Greg Reynolds lasted just 1 1/3 innings, allowing
seven runs on seven hits, while Cedrick Bowers was rocked for five runs in two
frames and Jason Grilli was touched for four runs in an inning-plus.
Cody Ross had five RBI for the Marlins, who have lost three of their last
four. Hanley Ramirez homered, knocked in two and scored three runs, while
Jorge Cantu and Mike Jacobs had four hits apiece.
Gregg (6-4) blew his sixth save while taking the loss in relief of Scott
Olsen, who lasted five innings despite being hammered for nine runs -- eight
earned -- on 11 hits.
Florida took the lead right out of the gate, as Ramirez led off the game with
a homer to center. Jacobs added an RBI double, and Matt Treanor clubbed a two-
out, 3-2 change-up over the wall in left to give the Marlins a 5-0 lead before
Olsen ever took the hill.
But, the Rockies immediately struck back, as consecutive doubles by Spilborghs
and Barmes cut the deficit to four in the bottom half. However, Josh
Willingham answered with a two-run double in the second for a 7-1 Florida
lead.
RBI singles from Spilborghs and Barmes brought Colorado back within four in
the home second. Baker's groundout plated another run in the third.
But, Bowers couldn't keep the Marlins at bay, as he loaded the bases with
nobody out in the fourth before Ross cleared them with a double to center. One
out later, Alfredo Amezaga upped the lead to 11-4 with an RBI double of his
own. Luis Vizcaino came on in relief and struck out Olsen, but Ramirez ripped
an RBI double and Jeremy Hermida followed with a run-scoring single to give
Florida a nine- run advantage.
Spilborghs launched a mammoth solo homer over the bleachers in left in the
bottom of the fourth, and Holliday added a leadoff blast in the fifth as the
Rockies closed within 13-6.
Colorado kept up the rally in the fifth, as a single by Atkins and a double
from Baker set the table for Iannetta, who crushed a three-run homer off a
billboard in left to cut the lead to four.
Spilborghs continued to comeback in the sixth, leading off with his second
homer of the night -- a liner just over the wall in left-center. With Barmes
on second one out later, Atkins hammered a hanging breaking ball into the
seats in left to make it a one-run game.
Ross' two-run single off Jason Grilli in the seventh pushed the Florida lead
back to three at 15-12. Luis Gonzalez's pinch-hit single off Manny Corpas
later in the frame plated two more to restore a five-run lead. But, the
Rockies would close out the night with six unanswered runs.
Justin Miller and Logan Kensing loaded the bases with nobody out in the home
half, and Holliday continued the Independence Day fireworks by drilling a 3-2
slider into the stands in left-center for a grand slam.
Renyel Pinto and Doug Waechter combined on a perfect eighth, keeping the
Rockies off the board in an inning for the first time all night.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.
It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
