A-Rod's homer pushes Yankees past M's, to seventh straight win
Baseball Betting Lines
07/01/2009 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Rodriguez continued his recent power surge, belting the go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning that lifted the New York Yankees to their seventh straight victory, 4-2, over the Seattle Mariners.
Andy Pettitte (8-3) threw seven solid innings to get the victory. The left- hander surrendered six hits and a pair of runs, while walking one and fanning five. Mariano Rivera retired the side in order in the ninth for his 502nd career save and third in as many games. It was his 20th of the season.
Johnny Damon and Melky Cabrera also homered for New York, which won at home over Seattle for a 10th straight time.
Ken Griffey Jr. smacked a solo homer for the Mariners, who came into this series winning four of five contests, but are now in danger of being swept in the three-game set.
Jarrod Washburn (4-6) was charged with eight hits and four runs over seven frames. The lefty has dropped six of his last seven decisions and has just one victory since April 21.
Mark Teixeira singled to left to start the bottom of the sixth, and Rodriguez then drilled the 0-1 offering from Washburn over the wall in dead center field. It was his fourth homer in the last six games. He has 13 RBI over his last seven contests.
Pettitte, Alfredo Aceves, Phil Coke and Rivera combined to no-hit the Mariners over the final three innings.
Damon homered to right with two outs in the third, but the Mariners tied it in the next inning when Jose Lopez scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of Wladimir Balentien.
Cabrera homered over the foul pole in left field with one out in the fifth. Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu came out to argue the call, but it stood even after umpires met for a video replay.
Griffey homered to right field with two outs in the sixth. He has now homered in 44 different ballparks, one less than Sammy Sosa, who holds the all-time record.
Game Notes
Pettitte is 10-11 all-time against the Mariners...Rodriguez has 13 homers this season and 566 for his career...Seattle right fielder Ichiro Suzuki finished 0-for-4 and had his 12-game hit streak snapped.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
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.
