Cubs grab early lead, top PiratesBaseball Betting Lines07/01/2009 - Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Derrek Lee belted a two-run home run and Randy Wells tossed seven innings of one-run ball to lead the Chicago Cubs past the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-1, in the rubber match of a three-game set at PNC Park. Wells (3-3) gave up six hits and fanned four batters to collect his third straight victory. Kevin Gregg retired the side in the ninth to pick up his 14th save of the year. Kosuke Fukudome hit a solo homer and doubled for the Cubs, who had lost seven of nine coming into the tilt. Geovany Soto went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI single. Virgil Vasquez (1-1) went six frames, allowing three runs on seven hits with three walks and two strikeouts to take the loss. Vasquez got his first major- league victory against the Royals last Friday. He allowed two runs and four hits in six innings with two walks and seven strikeouts in that game. Brandon Moss knocked in the lone run for the Pirates with a single. Andrew McCutchen and Jason Jaramillo each had two hits for Pittsburgh, which has won five of its last eight games despite the loss. The Cubs used a two-run homer from Lee in the top of the first inning to take the early edge. Sam Fuld started things with his first-career MLB hit -- a double to right. Fuld crossed the plate two batters later when Lee drove a Vasquez offering over the wall in center. Pittsburgh plated a run in the bottom half of the frame. McCutchen doubled and Adam LaRoche walked to put runners on the corners with two outs. Moss then knocked in McCutchen with a single to center. Chicago put men on first and third with one out in the top of the fifth, but Lee grounded into a double play. In the home half of the inning, Jack Wilson was thrown out at the plate after Freddy Sanchez singled to left. Fukudome smacked a two-out, home run over the wall in right field in the sixth to extend the Cubs' margin to 3-1. Soto added an RBI single in the eighth. Carlos Marmol and Gregg tossed a scoreless eighth and ninth, respectively, to secure the victory.

Online Sportsbook Football BettingLaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season. There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
