Bell helps give new skipper Showalter first win with O's
Baseball Betting Lines
08/03/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Baltimore third baseman Josh Bell helped give new manager Buck Showalter a victory in his debut, as the Orioles rallied past the Angeles, 6-3, in the opener of a three-game series at Camden Yards.
Showalter was introduced as the Orioles' new skipper on Monday. Juan Samuel had been guiding the team on an interim basis since Dave Trembley was fired back on June 4.
The 54-year-old Showalter brings plenty of managerial experience to a struggling O's team. He managed the New York Yankees from 1992-1995, then the Arizona Diamondbacks from 1998-2000. He also managed the Texas Rangers from 2003-06 and was named AL Manager of the Year in 1994, and again 10 years later.
Josh Bell capped a four-run sixth inning with a two-run double to help Baltimore halt a three-game skid. The Orioles, though, hold the worst record in baseball at 33-73. Luke Scott added a two-run homer and Matt Wieters had two RBI.
Jeremy Guthrie (5-11) went seven innings in the start, allowing three runs on five hits. The right-hander came into the game with a 1-7 mark in his previous 11 starts.
Howie Kendrick hit a two-run homer for the Angels, who have dropped nine of 12. Mike Napoli knocked in the other run in defeat.
Trevor Bell, making his second start of the season, gave up two runs on four hits in 5 1/3 frames. Francisco Rodriguez (0-2) allowed three runs on three hits to take the loss.
Trailing 2-1, the Orioles scored four times in the sixth to go ahead. Ty Wigginton worked a one-out walk, chasing Trevor Bell from the game. Rodriguez took over and Scott greeted him with a blast over the wall in right. After Adam Jones flied out, Felix Pie singled and Wieters was intentionally walked. Josh Bell then cleared the bases with a double to left for a 5-2 lead.
LA got a run back in the seventh to cut the gap to two. Kendrick hit a two-out double and crossed the plate on Napoli's single off the wall in right.
Wieters' RBI bloop single in the eighth accounted for the final margin.
The Angels scored twice in the top of the fifth to break a scoreless tie. Alberto Callaspo led off with a single and crossed the plate on Kendrick's homer to left.
The O's got one run back in the home half to make it a 2-1 game. Pie doubled and scored on Wieters' two-bagger to right-center field. Trevor Bell retired the next three batters to keep LA in front.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
