Moyer shoots for third straight win in middle tilt with Mets

Baseball Betting Lines

07/04/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Phillies hope Jamie Moyer can give them the same type of effort that Rodrigo Lopez did on Friday, when they continue their three-game series against the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park.

Lopez (1-0), who had not started a game in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2007, baffled the Mets lineup over 6 1/3 innings in a 7-2 win on Friday.

The right-hander held New York to two runs on six hits and a walk, as Philadelphia moved a game in front of the Florida Marlins for sole possession of first place in the NL East.

"It's been awhile since I've been in this kind of environment," Lopez said. "Today was very exciting, very emotional."

Jimmy Rollins, trying to put a season-long slump behind him, recorded two doubles and two RBI, while Chase Utley and Greg Dobbs each drove in a pair for Philly, which also received a solo homer from Jayson Werth.

The Phillies had just completed a 3-6 road trip and won for only the fourth time in their last 16 tries overall. They also scored a rare win at home, where they have been a disastrous 14-22 on the year.

Livan Hernandez (5-4) dropped his third straight start, as the veteran was pelted for seven runs on 10 hits and four walks in a season-low three-plus innings for the Mets, who have dropped six of eight.

"I missed so many pitches and they hit them in the perfect spot," Hernandez said.

Nick Evans and Brian Schneider each knocked in a run in defeat.

Moyer, meanwhile, has won his last two starts and brings a 6-6 mark with a 6.05 earned run average into today's contest. Moyer defeated the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, holding them to four runs and five hits in five innings.

The 46-year-old left-hander is 0-1 in two starts against the Mets this season, but owns a 7-5 lifetime mark against them with a 3.66 ERA in 20 starts.

New York will counter with surprising righty Fernando Nieve, who is 3-1 with a 2.25 ERA. Nieve was saddled with his first loss of the year on Monday in Milwaukee, as he allowed three runs and 11 hits in just 3 1/3 innings.

Nieve, who will be making his first ever start against the Phils, had surrendered just three earned runs in his first four starts for the Mets.

New York has split its eight matchups with the Phillies after winning 11 of the 18 meetings a year ago.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
