BoSox rout Tribe in Game 1 of ALCS

Baseball Betting Lines

10/12/2007 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Josh Beckett threw six solid innings and the Red Sox scored four times in the third off C.C. Sabathia, on the way to a 10-3 win over the Cleveland Indians in the opener of their American League Championship Series.

Manny Ramirez walked twice with the bases loaded and drove in three runs for the Red Sox, who are trying to get back to the World Series for the second time in four years. They swept the Angels in the Division Series and have won eight of their last 10 home playoff games.

Mike Lowell knocked in three runs for the Red Sox, who took advantage of eight walks from Cleveland pitchers.

Beckett (2-0) allowed four hits and two runs, and struck out seven without walking a batter. The right-hander, who retired 19 straight batters at one point in blanking the Angels, 4-0 in the opener of the ALDS, saw his career postseason ERA increase to a marginal 1.87.

Travis Hafner homered in the first inning and Asdrubal Cabrera drove in two runs for the Indians, who were stymied in the opener, four nights after knocking out the New York Yankees in four games in the first round.

The Indians, who haven't been to the World Series since 1997, last winning the title in 1948, went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

Sabathia (1-1) was charged with seven hits, eight runs and five walks over 4 1/3 innings. The lefty also fanned three.

Game 2 of the best-of-seven set is slated for Saturday night at Fenway Park. Fausto Carmona will pitch for the Indians, while Curt Schilling takes the mound for Boston.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).

As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).

Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.

A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.

Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.

"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.

De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.

The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.

The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.

De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.

Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.

But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
