11/30/2008 - Stuttgart, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jan Simak and Mario Gomez scored in the last 12 minutes, Jans Lehmann saved a penalty kick and Stuttgart topped Schalke 2-0 at Mercedes-Benz Arena on Sunday in coach Markus Babbel's Bundesliga debut.
Armin Veh, who led Stuttgart to the Bundesliga title two seasons ago, was fired last week and the struggling side responded under Babbel. Babbel led Stuttgart in a 1-1 draw against Sampdoria in the UEFA Cup midweek.
Lehmann made a huge save in the first half on Jefferson Farfan's penalty kick, diving toward the left post to make the stop.
Simak eventually rewarded his goalkeeper for his save, running onto a long pass from Khalid Boulahrouz before lifting a shot over Schalke goalie Manuel Neuer and under the bar in the 79th minute.
Gomez doubled the lead four minutes later, accepting a through pass from Pavel Pardo before slotting past Neuer.
Also Sunday, Ivica Olic scored in the 70th minute to help Hamburg draw Bochum 1-1 and Borussia Dortmund tied Wolfsburg 0-0.
Stanislav Sestak put Bochum in front in the 39th minute, but Hamburg earned the key point to stay within seven points of first-place Hoffenheim. Bochum stayed in the drop zone, just one point out of last.
Borussia was blanked for the first time this season, while Wolfsburg was shut out for just the second time. Borussia sits sixth, nine points out of first and Wolfsburg is 11 points back in eighth.

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.
