Pineiro helps Angels blank Detroit
Baseball Betting Lines
04/20/2010 -
Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joel Pineiro continued his solid April with 7
1/3 shutout frames, as the suddenly streaking Angels blanked Detroit, 2-0, in
the first game of a four-game set.
Pineiro (2-1) scattered nine hits with four strikeouts, while Howie Kendrick
finished 2-for-2 with a run scored. The Angels have won four straight after
losing seven of their first 10 games.
"I was able to get ahead of the hitters and my sinker was moving in and out. I
was able to mix it up and expand the zone," said Pineiro.
Dontrelle Willis (0-1) was the hard-luck loser, giving up two runs on four
hits with a pair of walks and strikeouts over six frames. Johnny Damon and
Magglio Ordonez were each 2-for-4 for the Tigers, who have lost four of five.
"We had the right guys up there, we just couldn't get the big hit," said
Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
The Angels scored both of their runs in the bottom of the third. Kendrick
lined a single to left then rounded the bases to score courtesy of Jeff
Mathis' double to right with some help due to an Ordonez throwing error.
Mathis eventually scored on a Bobby Abreu fielder's choice grounder.
Detroit threatened throughout the game, but failed to come up with the big
hit. Alex Avila lined into a double play with two on in the second and Ordonez
grounded with an inning-ending force out with runners on the corners in the
third. Miguel Cabrera was stranded after a leadoff double in the fourth, Adam
Everett flew out to right with runners on the corners in the seventh, and
Kevin Jepsen retired Carlos Guillen on a groundout with the tying runs in
scoring position in the eighth.
Game Notes
Pineiro improved to 7-2 lifetime versus Detroit...Mathis now has a 10-game
hitting streak..Every Tiger but Avila and Everett recorded a hit, but the team
grounded into two double plays and tallied just one extra-base hit...Pineiro
lowered his earned run average to 1.77.

As cup crazy fans prepare to place their bets, one online sportsbook ,MySportsbook.com, is offering hockey betting lines on the 2007/2007 Stanley Cup , who will bring it home this upcoming season.
Despite a poor showing in last season's playoffs and the loss of Steve Yzerman to retirement, the Detroit Red Wings are early favourites at this online sportsbook with wagering odds of 6-1. The Wings will look to offensive powerhouse Pavel Datsyuk and newly appointed captain Nicklas Lidstrom to lead one of the league's most prominent franchises.
Always a threat are the Ottawa Senators, with newly acquired goaltender Martin Gerber from the Stanley Cup champion ,Carolina Hurricanes. The Sens are second best in the rankings at a 7-1 bet, and odds makers at this sportsbook are optimistic that the Ottawa squad will fare better than last season's Eastern Conference semi-final upset to the Buffalo Sabres.
Also worth noting are the defending Stanley Cup champs Carolina Hurricanes, a 10-1 bet to repeat.
