Cueto pitches, hits Reds past Nats
Baseball Betting Lines
07/19/2010 -
Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Johnny Cueto pitched six innings to win his
third consecutive decision and singled in two runs to lead Cincinnati over
Washington, 7-2, to start a four-game series at Great American Ball Park.
Cueto (9-2) permitted four hits and two runs, walked four and fanned the same
amount. The right-hander has allowed two runs or less in each of his last six
starts and saw his season ERA fall to 3.39.
Jonny Gomes and Miguel Cairo hit solo homers in the sixth inning off J.D.
Martin as the Reds won for the third time in four games. Gomes had three hits
and scored three times, Cairo ended with two RBI, and Drew Stubbs added a two-
run double.
Martin (1-5) was charged with six hits and six runs over 5 1/3 innings.
Martin, who won his previous start, against San Diego on July 7, also walked
three and fanned two hitters.
The Nationals, who have dropped three in a row and five of six, were blanked
in their previous two games by Florida.
Gomes singled before Jay Bruce and Cairo walked to load the bases with nobody
out in the bottom of the second. Stubbs then doubled to right field. Ryan
Hanigan walked to load the bases again before Martin gave up a low-line single
to Cueto. The ball one-hopped past second baseman Cristian Guzman into right-
center field for a 4-0 margin.
Nyjer Morgan's sacrifice fly and Guzman's RBI single cut the deficit in the
third, but the Nationals were turned away despite a threat in the sixth
inning. Walks to Ryan Zimmerman and Josh Willingham set the two-out stage for
Ivan Rodriguez, who lined a ball off the mound. The ball then caromed off
second base umpire Gary Cederstrom and into right field. Zimmerman scored, but
was then sent back to third because it was ruled a dead ball. Willie Harris
flied out to left to end the inning.
Gomes led off the sixth and sent an 0-1 pitch over the wall in left-center.
One out later, Cairo took Martin's first offering to the second deck in left
field for his third homer of the year.
Cairo singled in Gomes in the eighth inning.

NFL Sports Betting
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.

Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
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. NFL Betting
