Duke goes for win No. 9 against FishBaseball Betting Lines07/04/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Zach Duke goes after his ninth win of the season this evening when the Pittsburgh Pirates continue their three-game series with the Florida Marlins at Land Shark Stadium. Duke has been one of the best left-handers in the league this season, but has lost two of his last three starts. Duke absorbed the loss on Monday against the Chicago Cubs, despite a decent effort, as he allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings to drop him to 8-6 on the season to go along with a 3.13 earned run average. Pittsburgh, which has scored one run or less a major league-high 20 times, has managed just five total runs in Duke's six losses. The 26-year-old hurler has struggled against the Marlins over the course of his career, going 0-2 with a 5.68 ERA in four starts. Run support wasn't a problem for the Pirates in the opener of this set on Friday, as Brandon Moss and Ramon Vazquez hit early home runs, and Pittsburgh shut down Hanley Ramirez, on the way to a 7-4 win. Charlie Morton (1-1) pitched six shutout innings to get the victory, as the Pirates snapped a two-game skid but defeated the Marlins for the fifth straight time. "[Morton] made some pitches a couple of different times and we couldn't get any runs," Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez said. Moss, Vazquez and Jack Wilson each had two RBI in the win. Chris Volstad (5-8) was saddled with the loss after surrendering three hits and four runs over three innings. He's dropped five of his last six decisions. John Baker smacked a two-run homer and had three RBI for the Marlins, who were coming off a three-game sweep of the Nationals, but fell a game behind the Phillies for first place in the tight NL East. Ramirez came into the game having driven in at least one run in a franchise record 10 straight contests, but finished 0-for-4. The streak by Ramirez was the longest for a shortstop since Carlos Guillen had an 11-game surge for the 2007 Tigers. It was also the longest streak ever for a National League shortstop, since RBI became an official statistic in 1920. Getting the call for the Fish this evening will be 24-year-old left-hander Andrew Miller, who is 2-4 with a 4.45 ERA. Miller's winless streak reached four starts on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays, as he was charged with the loss after surrendering five runs and eight hits in 6 1/3 innings. Miller lost to the Pirates back on April 20 in his only other appearance against them.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
