Rookie hurlers face off in Anaheim

Baseball Betting Lines

07/04/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will take to the field this evening, as they host the Baltimore Orioles in the second matchup of a three-game stint at Angel Stadium.

Sean O'Sullivan has been a solid fill in for an Angels rotation that has been depleted by injuries. O'Sullivan has made three starts since being called up to the majors, and in those outings he has complied a 2-0 mark with a 3.00 earned run average.

The last time the right-hander was on the hill he tossed six solid innings against Texas, surrendering just two runs on six hits, while also striking out five batters.

The Orioles will turn to their own rookie pitcher when they send Jason Berken to the rubber. Berken won his season debut, but since then the right-hander has lost five of his last six starts.

The last time Berken was on the hill he allowed four runs on eight hits in five innings of work against Boston.

On Friday, Aubrey Huff went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, as Baltimore hung on to edge the Angels, 6-4. Luke Scott stroked a two-run double for the Orioles, who won for just the second time in their last six tries.

Nick Markakis went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.

David Hernandez (2-2) lasted 6 2/3 innings, giving up three runs on six hits with two strikeouts and two walks to collect his second win in his fourth start in the majors. George Sherrill picked up his 18th save of the year.

"Impressive. He was throwing strikes and used all his pitches really well. He commanded his fastball and showed great poise," Orioles manager David Trembley said about Hernandez.

Kendry Morales belted a two-run homer for the Angels, who have dropped three of their last four. Maicer Izturis went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI, while Vladimir Guerrero drove in the other run for Los Angeles, which won, 5-2, in the opener of the series on Thursday.

Ervin Santana (1-4) went five frames, allowing six runs -- four earned -- on eight hits with five strikeouts and three walks to take the loss for LA. Santana was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the game.

"I felt good. My location was okay, but I made a few mistakes. My arm felt good, but I just want to win," Santana said.

The Angels swept a two-game series from the Orioles at Camden Yards back in April and went 6-3 against Baltimore last season. The O's are just 5-13 in Anaheim since the start of the 2006 campaign.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
