07/10/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers will try for a series split with the Colorado Rockies this afternoon, when the two ballclubs close out a four-game series at Miller Park.
Milwaukee has lost two of the first three meetings with Colorado, including Wednesday's 8-3 setback that pushed the Brewers five games behind the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. Ace Ben Sheets allowed five hits and three runs through six innings and absorbed the loss despite posting a season-high 11 K's. Sheets took the hill one day after newly-acquired starter CC Sabathia won his National League debut for the Brewers.
Bill Hall homered, while Russell Branyan and Mike Cameron each recorded an RBI in Wednesday's defeat. Milwaukee is 4-2 so far on a 10-game homestand and 29-15 at Miller Park this season.
Even though Dave Bush didn't win his last start, he will try to duplicate his efforts again this afternoon versus Colorado. Bush hurled eight strong innings of one-run, four-hit ball the last time out on Saturday versus Pittsburgh for the no-decision. The Brewers won the game, 2-1.
Bush is 0-1 in two starts since a personal two-game winning streak. He is also 4-8 with a 4.74 earned run average in 17 starts (16 games) this season.
The righty squared off at Colorado's Coors Field on June 7 this season and suffered the loss. Bush was touched for five runs and five hits in four frames of a 7-2 loss. He is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in two career starts in this series.
With last night's 8-3 triumph in the third test of this series, Colorado improved to 7-2 over its last nine games. Starter Glendon Rusch allowed five hits and one run with four strikeouts over six innings to post a win as a starter for the first time since July 9, 2006 as a member of the Cubs.
Garrett Atkins clubbed a pair of homers and Joe Koshansky belted a two-run shot for the defending National League champions, who are 2-1 on a seven-game road trip and 14-32 as the guest this season.
The Rockies will send Jorge De La Rosa to the hill on Thursday, and he is 3-4 with a 6.58 ERA in 13 games (10 starts) this season. De La Rosa is 2-1 over his previous eight trips to the hill, having beaten Florida on July 5 with five innings of three-run ball during a 12-6 triumph.
The left-hander, who is 0-3 on the road this season, will face Milwaukee for the second time this season. On June 7 versus the Brewers, De La Rosa did not factor in the outcome of a 7-2 win after hurling a perfect inning of relief.
De La Rosa is 0-1 with a 10.50 ERA in two career games (one start) against Milwaukee.
Colorado won two of three games versus the Brewers at home from June 6-8, and has won eight of the last 12 meetings in the series.

Elite 8 NCAA Tournament Betting at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com
In what should be an outstanding Saturday of March Madness betting action, the top four teams in the South and West Regions square off in what should be extremely close match-ups. Three of the four teams are coming off extremely close games on Thursday evening, only UCLA won semi comfortably over Pitt 64-55.
Ohio State is coming off their second game in a row where in all reality they should have lost. Of course that doesn’t matter now since the name of the game is “survive and advance” but as the tournament continues, they can’t afford to keep getting down to their opponents early. Kansas also avoided a scare by holding off a scrappy Southern Illinois squad. In the third thrilling game of the evening Memphis pulled off the minor upset (+3.5) despite being the higher seed to Texas A&M.
Although the spreads are fairly small for Saturday’s games, MySportsbook.com continue to bet against the underdogs. Despite OSU’s two scares, 86% of the “betting public” feels the Buckeyes (-1.5) have what it takes to make the Final Four. In fact, so much of the early money is on OSU that the line has already moved from -1 to -1.5. In the second game of the doubleheader, Kansas and their high-powered offense are 2 point favorites as they take on UCLA and their effective defense. About 63% of the early money thus far is once again backing the favorites. If those percentages stay that high, don’t be surprised if this line moves as well. If you like Kansas (-2) you might want to jump on it early.
Memphis vs. Ohio State
Both squads were involved in thrillers on Thursday evening and should come out fired up. OSU can ill afford to get behind early like they did versus their previous two opponents (Xavier, Tennessee). Greg Oden needs to stay out of foul trouble; the Buckeyes are a completely different team when he is on the court. Memphis definitely has the athleticism and length to match-up with OSU. Of Memphis’ five leading minute earners, the shortest of the bunch is 6’5”. Each team has a very effective defense; Memphis surrenders 62.3 PPG whereas the Buckeyes give up only 61 PPG. With those type of numbers, it isn’t surprising that Memphis covered the UNDER almost 69% of the time this season. As a favorite, OSU has covered the UNDER almost 66% of the time over the last three seasons. The major concern for Memphis which is magnifies this time of the year is their brutal foul shooting (62%). This season, OSU is 17-11 ATS versus teams with a winning record and 7-2 ATS in all tournament games. Memphis has been an extremely reliable cover in tournament play in recent years with a 23-8 ATS record over the last three seasons.
UCLA vs. Kansas
In the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader, UCLA will play in a role which they are very unfamiliar with that of the underdog. Only twice this season have they been getting points from the handicappers and both times they covered. Over the last three seasons UCLA is a reliable 23-7 ATS in this unfamiliar role. UCLA has not fared well against Big 12 opponents recently going 1-7 ATS since 1997. Giving up only 59.6 PPG, UCLA will definitely look to do what they do best: keep this game as low scoring as possible. Their defense has been especially tough during the tournament. UCLA opponents have been able to muster up only 48.7 PPG while shooting a combined 34.5% from the field. UCLA definitely has a challenge at hand with a Kansas team that is capable of putting points on the board in bunches. As a team, they average 79 PPG and shoot an impressive 49.6% from the field and 39.4% from beyond the arc. During the tournament Kansas has been “lights out” from the field having shot 56.2%.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
