07/28/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chad Billingsley pitched six shutout frames, and his pinch-hitter, Andre Ethier, came through with a big hit in the top of the seventh, as the Dodgers kicked off an important NL West three-game set with a 2-0 victory over San Diego.
Billingsley (9-5) scattered three hits and two walks with four strikeouts on the heels of his shutout on Wednesday versus the Giants. Blake DeWitt and Garret Anderson scored for the Dodgers, who have won three straight. Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect ninth for his 20th save of the season.
Jon Garland (9-7) took the loss, yielding two runs on five hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 6 2/3 frames. Yorvit Torrealba finished 2-for-3 in the loss. The Padres saw their three-game winning streak come to an end.
The Padres put together a serious threat in the home fourth, beginning with Adrian Gonzalez's single to left. Chase Headley then singled and Torrealba followed with an infield hit deflected by Billingsley.
Billingsley settled down, inducing a Will Venable grounder to second, where DeWitt came home for the force out. Tony Gwynn popped out to short and Everth Cabrera struck out looking to end the threat.
The Dodgers mustered an offensive charged in the sixth as Russell Martin singled and moved to second on Billingsley's bunt attempt that wasn't fielded cleanly by Gonzalez for an error. Garland, like Billingsley, thwarted any scoring chance by retiring the next three batters.
Los Angeles put together a furious two-out rally in the seventh to finally push across some runs. DeWitt started the two-out rally with a single to right, Anderson followed with a single to right and Martin was intentionally walked, forcing manager Joe Torre's hand. Despite six shutout innings, Torre pinch hit for Billingsley with Ethier, who knocked a two-run single to center.
Game Notes
Garland dropped to 5-2 at Petco Park...The Dodgers have won five of six over the Padres this season...These two teams began a stretch of seven games against each other out of the next 10.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend. Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July.
