A's edge Twins to avoid sweep

Baseball Betting Lines

06/06/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Kouzmanoff had three hits, scored a run and drove in a run to support a solid seven innings from Gio Gonzalez, as Oakland beat Minnesota, 5-4, to salvage the last of a three-game set at the Coliseum.

Gonzalez (6-3) yielded two runs on six hits, while walking one and fanning four, as the A's won for just the second time in their last six games.

Jack Cust collected three hits, scored and drove in a run, while Ryan Sweeney added two hits, including an RBI double, for Oakland, which improved to a major league-best 11-4 in games decided by one run. Michael Wuertz worked a perfect ninth to record his first save of the season.

Nick Blackburn (6-3) suffered the loss after being charged with five runs on 10 hits over just 2 2/3 innings in his shortest outing of the season for the Twins, who finished their seven-game road trip with three wins.

Delmon Young belted a two-run homer and scored twice for Minnesota.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
