Millwood, Rangers edge Orioles

Baseball Betting Lines

07/15/2006 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Kevin Millwood made his first start for Texas in nearly two weeks and tossed six solid innings to lead the Rangers past the Baltimore Orioles, 2-1, in the second of a four-game set at Camden Yards.

The veteran righty had his last turn skipped because of a strained biceps, and snapped a personal two-game losing streak. Millwood (9-5) allowed one run on four hits with three strikeouts and two walks. Akinori Otsuka notched his 18th save after allowing just one walk in the ninth.

Gary Matthews Jr. finished 2-for-3 with one run scored for the Rangers, who won their third straight.

Kris Benson (9-8), who lost each of his last two starts prior to the break, gave up two runs on four hits with two strikeouts and three walks in all nine innings. Brian Roberts went 2-for-4 for the Orioles, who lost their second straight.

Texas scored two runs in the fourth. Matthews grounded a leadoff single, advanced to third on a Mark DeRosa double, and scored on Michael Young's sacrifice fly. Mark Teixeira followed with a sacrifice fly to plate DeRosa.

Baltimore cut its deficit in half in the sixth, as Nick Markakis singled and later scored on a sacrifice fly by Melvin Mora.

The Rangers mustered only one extra-base hit, and went down in order four times.

Game Notes

The Orioles optioned pitchers Daniel Cabrera and Sendy Rleal to Triple-A Ottawa and recalled pitchers Adam Loewen and Eddy Rodriguez from the same club...Texas, which swept a two-game series from the Orioles in Arlington in early May, took three of four against Baltimore in Camden Yards last season.

Pacific-10 Conference odds

Teams that should be in: Stanford

Oregon and USC get their tickets punched after taking care of business this weekend. Yes, the Trojans' computer numbers aren't great, but there's no way the third-place team in this league is getting nixed. Grudgingly, I added Arizona after consultation with our Bracketologist. I don't know that Arizona will lose its last three (including a Pac-10 quarterfinal game), and even if the Cats do, I still can't see how they'd be left out, given the overall profile. That said, it bears watching, as three more L's would leave them at 18-12 (9-9) and on a 6-11 skid entering the Dance. It would be nice to see the Wildcats get at least one W in the Bay Area next week, as Cincinnati (albeit without Armein Kirkland and with a worse profile) was axed after a similar slide last season. I just couldn't rationalize having some of the other teams as locks and not having Arizona in that category -- there just aren't enough good teams behind the Cats to threaten their spot, it seems. Stanford has its fate in its own hands with the Arizona schools coming to the Farm to close out the regular season next weekend.

Should be in:

Stanford [17-10 (9-7), RPI: 40, SOS: 21] No shame in not getting a win in L.A., but that makes the home game against Arizona State a must-win ahead of what could be an intriguing meeting with Arizona should the Cats lose at Cal. Getting to 11 Pac-10 wins would make Selection Sunday much more comfortable, but 10's probably more than enough this season. The Cardinal have nonconference wins over Texas Tech and at Virginia to lean on, although they also lost badly to Air Force and Santa Clara at home.

Southeastern Conference odds
Work left to do: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Mississippi State

It looks more and more possible that no one from the SEC West will make the NCAAs. How weird is that? Tennessee and Vandy move into the locks category after more good work this weekend. Kentucky stays there, although it would be smart for the Cats to handle Georgia at home Wednesday ahead of a trip to the Swamp. Could a disaster scenario (two more L's and a first-round SEC tourney exit) somehow dislodge the Cats despite their incredible computer numbers? Still unlikely, but not worth chancing it.

Work left to do:

Alabama [19-9 (6-8), RPI: 43, SOS: 47] The tough L at Tennessee was understandable, and even created some hope. Unfortunately, that hope was dashed by a home loss to Auburn, which leaves the Tide in some real trouble. There's still no signature win on the profile (no, Kentucky doesn't count), and the computer profile is weakening rapidly. The Tide conceivably could beat Ole Miss and win at Miss. State to get to 8-8 and clinch at least a share of the West crown, but that's probably not enough right now. The Tide will need to do some work in the SEC tourney.

Georgia [16-10 (8-6), RPI: 52, SOS: 23] This is the team with the best chance to make it from this section right now. The Bulldogs rebounded from a terrible performance at Ole Miss to beat down Miss. State. Now they are at Kentucky (king of the RPI 51-100 win) and home to Tennessee. That would be worth a lot of computer points to get both (which is doable), as both teams are in the top 11 in RPI. Finishing at least 9-7 is an absolute must, and I would feel much better about the Dawgs' chances if they got both to get to 10 SEC wins. They also beat Gonzaga, but lost to ACC bubblers Georgia Tech and Clemson.

Mississippi [18-10 (7-7), RPI: 63, SOS: 79] Like everyone else in this division, Ole Miss gacked up a chance to stake a claim, losing by double figures at South Carolina. Even 9-7 likely is not nearly enough with a nonconference profile devoid of anything notable.

Mississippi State [16-11 (7-7), RPI: 66, SOS: 37] With a chance to get in the mix, these Bulldogs were leashed by their Georgia counterparts. Could they get to 9-7? I guess -- although winning at Arkansas, then beating Alabama is no lock -- but would that mean all that much for a team with this overall profile? Probably not. There's nothing of note (on the good side) in the nonconference profile.
