09/25/2008 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mark Teixeira's solo home run in the eighth inning was the difference as the Los Angeles Angels downed the Seattle Mariners, 6-5, in the third test of a four-game set at Safeco Field.
Teixeira finished with four hits and Sean Rodriguez added a two-run double for the Angels, whose magic number to clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs is down to three.
Jon Garland allowed five runs on 11 hits in five innings of work. Darren Oliver (7-1) tossed two scoreless frames to get the win.
Jose Lopez, Jeremy Reed and Bryan LaHair each had two hits and knocked in a run for Seattle, which recorded its fourth 100-loss campaign in franchise history and first since 1983. Yuniesky Betancourt collected three hits and scored twice.
Felix Hernandez was touched for five runs -- four earned -- on 13 hits over six innings. Mark Lowe (1-5) took the loss after he surrendered the home run to Teixeira.
Trailing 5-2, the AL West champions rallied with three runs in the sixth. Erick Aybar led off with a ground-rule double and Mike Napoli walked before Rodriguez ripped a two-run double to center. Chone Figgins followed with a single and Garret Anderson grounded into a 4-6-3 double play to force in the tying run.
Teixeira's two-out blast to right in the eighth gave the visitors a 6-5 lead. Scot Shields wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam in the next frame, and Francisco Rodriguez worked around a two-out hit by Reed in the ninth to notch his 62nd save, extending his MLB record.
Lopez doubled to the gap in left-center scoring Betancourt in the first inning, but the Angels answered with two runs in the top of the second. Torii Hunter lined a leadoff double, advanced to third on a Kendry Morales groundout and scampered home on Aybar's base hit. A passed ball by Kenji Johjima later in the frame allowed Aybar to score. Seattle, though, evened the score in the home half on Miguel Cairo's RBI single.
The Mariners put up a three-spot in the fifth to pull ahead. Betancourt doubled to begin the inning and Raul Ibanez walked before Lopez grounded into a fielder's choice. On the play, Aybar's low throw handcuffed Teixeira at first, allowing Betancourt to cross the plate. Following a wild pitch, Reed slapped an RBI double to center, and later scored on a two-out hit by LaHair.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.
Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country. A concern for the Tar Heels might be inexperience. Of their top four scorers/ minute earners, three are freshmen and the other is a sophomore. The rest of the regular season, the Tar Heels play only one team that is currently ranked (Duke). Their remaining opponents do combine for an impressive 107-58 record though.
