06/20/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rickie Weeks' two-run double jumpstarted a five-run ninth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers salvaged a game from this three-contest set with Colorado by beating the Rockies, 6-1.
Weeks, Corey Hart and Prince Fielder blasted three consecutive doubles in the final inning to propel the Brewers to only their second win in their last 13 games at Coors Field. Hart finished with two hits and three RBI, and George Kottaras also had a pair of hits in the win.
Randy Wolf did not factor into the decision after allowing just one run, three hits and four walks in seven strong innings. Trevor Hoffman (2-4) earned the win with a perfect eighth inning.
Brad Hawpe's home run accounted for all of Colorado's offense, as the Rockies had a three-game win streak snapped. Aaron Cook's line matched Wolf's, as he gave up one run, three hits and four walks in seven innings, but Manuel Corpas (1-4) yielded five runs without recording an out to take the loss.
In the ninth, with the game deadlocked at one, the Brewers took control.
With Corpas pitching for Colorado, Kottaras led off with a double and moved to third when Alcides Escobar reached on a fielder's choice. After pinch-hitter Joe Inglett walked to load the bases, Weeks launched a two-run double off the wall in center, and Hart followed with another double to plate a pair for a 5-1 advantage.
Juan Rincon came on to get out of the mess, but Fielder greeted him with an RBI double for a five-run Milwaukee lead, which held as the final margin.
The teams traded runs early on, and then the pitchers took over.
Wolf's lone blemish came in the second inning, when Hawpe took him deep for a one-out solo shot.
Cook's only mistake was in the third, after he issued back-to-back one-out walks to Wolf and Weeks. Hart followed with a base hit to allow Wolf to score and tie the game.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
| Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame) Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma) Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State) Michael Bush (RB, Louisville) Steve Slaton (RB, West Virginia) Brian Brohm (QB, Louisville) Chris Leak (QB, Florida) Mike Hart (RB, Michigan) Ted Ginn (WR, Ohio State) Darius Walker (RB, Notre Dame) Drew Tate (QB, Iowa) Marshawn Lynch (RB, Cal) Kenny Irons (RB, Auburn) Chad Henne (QB, Michigan) Kyle Wright (QB, Miami) Drew Stanton (QB, Michigan State) Kenneth Darby (RB, Alabama) JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU) Drew Weatherford (QB, Florida State) Blake Mitchell (QB, South Carolina) Reggie Ball (QB, Georgia Tech) |

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
