Bazardo set for first start as Tigers battle Twins
Baseball Betting Lines
09/15/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - In the midst of a playoff chase, Yorman Bazardo will make his first major league start for the Detroit Tigers this evening when they resume their three-game series with the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome.
Bazardo takes the hill for just the 11th time in his big league career tonight with his Tigers 3 1/2 games back of the New York Yankees in the AL wild card race and 5 1/2 behind the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central.
The 23-year-old right-hander has made nine relief appearances for the Tigers this season and is 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA. However, he has never faced the Twins.
As if the young Bazardo didn't have enough pressure on him, he will be opposing two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana, who is 15-11 with a 3.09 ERA. Santana picked up his first win in three starts on Sunday against the Chicago White Sox, as he allowed a run and five hits in seven innings.
Santana is 1-2 this season against the Tigers, but is 11-4 lifetime against them with a save and a a 2.69 ERA in 25 games, 19 of which have been starts.
In the opener of this set on Friday, Timo Perez knocked in three runs to guide Detroit to a 4-2 win. Ivan Rodriguez added an RBI while Carlos Guillen scored twice for the Tigers, who have won three straight and eight of their last 10 games.
Nate Robertson (8-11) got the nod and pitched seven quality innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out five.
Matt Garza (3-6) was not quite as effective, surrendering four runs over 5 2/3 frames for the Twins, who have dropped two in a row and eight of 11. Justin Morneau hit his 30th homer in defeat.
The Twins have also lost five in a row at home and haven't lost six in a row at the Metrodome since June 17-July 6, 2000.
Detroit has won eight of the 13 overall meetings between these AL Central foes in 2007.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.
(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977. Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.
Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer. In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season.
MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season. Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite. After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.
Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions. They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
