05/17/2007 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Lackey tossed four-hit ball over six innings and combined with a pair of relievers to lead the LA Angels of Anaheim to a shutout of the Seattle Mariners, 5-0, in the middle game of a three-game series at Safeco Field.
Lackey (6-3) walked a batter and struck out four as the Angels evened the series at a game apiece. Dustin Moseley hurled two scoreless frames and Scot Shields pitched the ninth.
Orlando Cabrera had two hits and two runs batted in, while Reggie Willits went 2-for-5 with an RBI for the Angels, who are now 12-3 in their last 15 games against the Mariners.
Cha Seung Baek (1-1) allowed three runs on six hits, with a walk and three strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings. Ichiro Suzuki had a pair of hits, and his stolen base in the first inning was his 45th consecutive successful attempt, extending his own American League record. He is just five short of the Major League mark held by Vince Coleman.
The Angels put a pair on the board in their first trip to the plate. Willits ripped a leadoff double to right-center, and Vladimir Guerrero drew a one-out walk. Willits advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on Gary Matthews' single, while Casey Kotchman's base hit scored Guerrero to make it 2-0.
Seattle had just two hits heading into the sixth, then squandered a chance to cut into the lead. Jose Lopez and Suzuki hit back-to-back singles, while Jose Vidro's groundout moved both runners. Lackey intentionally walked Raul Ibanez, loading the bases, before Richie Sexson grounded into a force. Chone Figgins made a nice play on the high hopper at third, coming home with the throw, and Jose Guillen went down swinging to end the inning.
The Angels added three more in the seventh to extend their lead. Figgins walked and a Willits' single scored Mike Napoli, who had reached on a fielder's choice. Chris Reitsma came out of the pen for Seattle and both runners initiated a double steal before scoring on Cabrera's bouncer that snuck through on the left side.

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.
