Bonderman leads Tigers in finale at D.C.

Baseball Betting Lines

06/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeremy Bonderman will try for his eighth straight winning decision tonight when his Detroit Tigers wrap their three-game series with the Washington Nationals at RFK Stadium.

Bonderman opened the season with five straight no-decisions before his recent winning burst. His earned run average for the season is 3.92, and the right- hander hasn't lost since September 10 of last year at Minnesota. He closed the 2006 season with three straight wins, and picked up an additional victory in the postseason.

Bonderman, who has never faced the Nationals, was last in action on Friday against the Phillies and picked up the win despite allowing five earned runs for a second consecutive start. He allowed nine hits -- four of them home runs -- but was bailed out by his offense in the 12-8 victory.

Mike Bacsik will try to help Washington avoid being swept by Detroit when he takes the hill tonight. The left-hander is 1-4 on the year with a 4.59 ERA after dropping his last four starts. He lasted just 4 1/3 innings on Friday against Toronto, yielding three runs on nine hits in the 7-2 setback.

Bacsik is 1-0 in his career against the Tigers, besting them while with the Rangers on August 4, 2004 behind seven shutout innings.

Detroit will try to sweep an opponent for the first time since winning all three games against St. Louis on May 18-20 in a rematch of last year's World Series.

On Tuesday, Sean Casey blasted a three-run homer to pace a 17-hit attack as Detroit trounced Washington, 15-1 .

Brandon Inge was 2-for-4 with a three-run double for the Tigers, who have won four of five games and are now tied atop the AL Central with Cleveland. Magglio Ordonez finished 3-for-3 and drove in a pair of runs while Marcus Thames chipped in a two-run homer.

Chad Durbin (6-3) allowed just one run on five hits in six innings and snapped a personal two-start losing streak.

Cristian Guzman was 2-for-3 with the lone RBI for the Nationals, who have lost four of their past five. Dmitri Young was 2-for-4 with two doubles and starter Jason Simontacchi (4-5) was torched for 10 runs on 10 hits in just three innings of work en route to the loss.

This is the first meeting between the clubs since 2002, when the Tigers won two out of three at home over the Montreal Expos.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout

An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half.

Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off.  Randy was not impressed though.  Paula thought he started off fantastic.  "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either. 

Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed.  Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact.  He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition. 

Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula.  Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout.

Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next.  Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential.  Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell.  He sang "Careless Whisper".

22 year old Chris Richardson was up next.  He was listed with +1100 odds coming in.  He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great. 

Nick was boring and pitchy.  Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week.  Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition. 

Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds .  These of course were the early odds.  He was considered original for picking an "odd song".  He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night. 

Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good. 

Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds.  Great voice and a great sense of humor.  He's a real standout.  Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit.  Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig". 

Jared Cotter followed.  He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition.  The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good. 

22-year old AJ Talbado, who has tried out for American Idol five times, was up next.  "Kind of a theme park performance" said Simon.  Though the judges felt he performed okay.  Simon did feel AJ might be better than he originally thought.

Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition.  He was the last to perform.  He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start. 

Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys.  Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
