07/23/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Trading catcher Bengie Molina to the Texas Rangers could be the best move the San Francisco Giants make all season. Buster Posey is certainly on board with the decision and has been proving it ever since.
Posey and the Giants will resume a four-game series tonight against the National League West-rival Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. The young backstop is having a hot month and is currently riding a 16-game hitting streak. He went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Thursday's 3-0 win and is batting .438 in July with seven homers and 21 runs batted in.
His hitting streak is the third longest by a rookie in team history. Orlando Cepeda hit in 17 straight games back in 1958, while Willie McCovey leads the way with a 22-gamer during the 1959 campaign.
Andres Torres homered and Aaron Rowand had an RBI for the wild card-leading Giants, who have won 12 of their last 15 games and pulled within three games of San Diego for the top spot in the NL West standings. Matt Cain was able to make that happen and evened his 2010 mark at 8-8 with eight shutout innings and nine strikeouts. Brian Wilson then recorded his 27th save in the ninth.
"What a game he pitched," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Cain. "He had everything going tonight, locating his fastball in and out, breaking balls he threw for strikes. Their guy was pitching well too. You don't see too many games like that here. What a job he did for us."
Jonathan Sanchez has a tough act to follow when he takes the hill for the Giants Friday night in the desert. Sanchez has won five of his last seven decisions and hasn't factored in the outcome in each of his last two starts. In Sunday's 4-3 home loss to the New York Mets, Sanchez was sharp with seven innings of two-run ball and five strikeouts.
Sanchez remained at 7-6 in 19 starts to go along with a 3.42 earned run average. The left-hander hopes to even his 2-3 road record tonight and beat the Diamondbacks for a second time this season. In a 12-1 drubbing of Arizona on May 29 at AT&T Park, Sanchez pitched five innings of one-run ball and struck out seven batters to improve to 5-6 in 16 career meetings (13 starts) with the D'Backs.
Arizona entered this series fresh off a three-game sweep of the New York Mets and lost for the fifth time in eight tries on Thursday. Rodrigo Lopez had a decent outing go to waste, as he allowed all three runs on five hits over seven innings. Lopez also fanned seven batters.
"I was trying to go deep in the game since we don't have many pitcher available tonight," Lopez said. "It wasn't enough to defeat the Giants."
Chris Young, Justin Upton and Cole Gillespie provided the hits for the Diamondbacks, who are last in the NL West at 19 games off the pace. Upton has hit safely in a season-high eight straight games with six doubles, one triple, two homers and an eight RBI over that span.
Edwin Jackson looks to avoid losing his third straight start when he takes the mound for the 20th time tonight for Arizona. Jackson has lost back-to-back starts since a personal three-game winning streak, which included a no-hitter on June 25 at Tampa Bay, and previously pitched in Sunday's 6-4 loss at San Diego. He gave up four runs and nine hits in 6 1/3 innings with seven K's, falling to 6-8 in 19 trips to the hill.
Jackson, a right-hander, has allowed at least four runs in each of his last three outings and will try to even his 3-4 home mark. He will face the Giants for the first time since losing to them back on May 28, when he yielded three runs in seven innings of his team's 5-0 loss. Jackson is 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA in three career games (2 starts) against San Francisco.
San Francisco leads the 2010 season series with Arizona by a 4-2 margin, but is 17-7 over the past 24 meetings between the two ballclubs.

It's less than a month until the NHL hockey betting season opens at MySportsbook.com and preparations are underway for another battle in the race to hoist Lord Stanley's mug in 2007.
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. Behind the Canes are the New Jersey Devils, Calgary Flames, Buffalo Sabres, Philadelphia Flyers, and Anaheim Mighty Ducks all sit at 12-1. In the basement are the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, and St. Louis Blues who all have 100-1 odds to win.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
