Cards try to best Mets once again
Baseball Betting Lines
04/22/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joel Pineiro tries to stay perfect on the season when he toes the rubber for the St. Louis Cardinals tonight in the middle test of a three-game series versus the New York Mets at Busch Stadium.
Pineiro opened the season on April 10 versus Houston and earned the win with 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball. He then took the hill again on April 15 at Arizona, recording the win despite surrendering five runs and nine hits over five innings of work. He received more than enough run support in that one, as the Cardinals posted a 12-7 triumph.
The right-hander is unbeaten against the Mets, as evidenced by a 1-0 mark and 4.76 ERA in three career starts.
St. Louis opened a six-game homestand with Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Mets, as Rick Ankiel posted three hits and drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning to lead the way. Yadier Molina also had three hits while Albert Pujols knocked in a pair of runs for St. Louis, which had lost two of three to the Cubs in a rain-shortened series over the weekend.
Jason Motte recorded the final two outs in the eighth to pick up the win and Ryan Franklin set down New York in order in the ninth for his third save of the season. Cardinals starter Todd Wellemeyer did not factor in the decision and allowed four runs on 10 hits in five innings.
The Cardinals will host the Central rival Cubs for three games after this series with the Mets.
New York has lost two in a row for the third time this season and experienced another rough outing with Oliver Perez on the hill. Perez was reached for four runs and six hits over 4 2/3 innings, but it was new set-up man J.J. Putz who suffered the loss for the Mets. Putz gave up two costly runs and three hits in the eighth.
Jose Reyes, David Wright and Carlos Beltran each ended with two hits and an RBI for the Mets, while Daniel Murphy also drove in a run.
Toeing the rubber for the Mets tonight will be John Maine, who is 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA in two trips to the mound this season. Maine is coming off a rough outing Thursday against San Diego, as he yielded six runs and seven hits over five innings of a 6-5 loss.
The right-hander, who did not record a decision in a 5-4 loss to Florida in his season debut on April 10, is 1-1 with a 5.63 earned run average in three career starts against St. Louis.
New York won four of seven meetings with St. Louis a year ago.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
