08/15/2008 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Francisco Liriano was virtually unhittable on the mound and Jason Kubel hit a two-run homer, as the Minnesota Twins crushed the Seattle Mariners, 9-3, in the opener of a three-game set from the Metrodome.
Liriano (3-3) gave up two runs -- neither of which were earned -- on two hits over seven frames while fanning five and walking two. The win pulled the Twins within a half-game of the Chicago White Sox for the AL Central lead. The Pale Hose are playing in Oakland on Friday night.
Nick Punto added two RBI and scored twice for the Twins, who are 6-2 over their last eight games. Denard Span, Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau each drove in a run in the win.
Former Twin Carlos Silva (4-14) took the loss as he was roughed up for nine runs on nine hits in just 3 1/3 innings. Silva hasn't won since June 28 at San Diego and owns just one victory since April 17. He now also leads the American League in losses with 14.
Miguel Cairo had two of the six hits and scored for Seattle, which is just 2-6 over its last eight games. Adrian Beltre and Raul Ibanez also scored in defeat.
The Twins got on the board in the first inning. Span and Punto started the frame with back-to-back doubles, with Punto's two-baser scoring a run. Mauer then advanced Punto to third as he flied out to left and Morneau brought him home with a sac fly to make it 2-0.
Cairo broke up Liriano's perfect-game bid after 3 1/3 innings with a ground- rule double and moved to third as Ibanez grounded out. Beltre and Jose Lopez both walked to load the bases and Wladimir Balentien hit a grounder to third which rolled through Brian Buscher's legs and tied the game as two runs scored.
Minnesota got the lead back in the home half as Morneau led off with a walk and Kubel followed with a homer. Delmon Young and Buscher kept it going with singles and Adam Everett belted an RBI base hit, before Carlos Gomez grounded into a force out leaving runners on the corners.
Span and Punto both managed RBI singles which chased Silva in favor of Jake Woods. Mauer welcomed Woods to the game with an RBI single and Kubel followed suit, making it 9-2.
The M's added a run in the ninth as Ibanez led off with a double off Brian Bass and came around two batters later when Tug Hulett grounded into a double play.
Game Notes
The Twins are 3-1 on their current nine-game homestand and 42-22 at the Metrodome this season...Seattle won two of three games against Minnesota from August 4-6 this season at Safeco Field. The Mariners had won four of the last six meetings in this series prior to Friday...Time of game was 2:28.

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.

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.
