06/19/2010 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dustin Pedroia drove in the game-winning run with a single in the bottom of the ninth inning, as the Boston Red Sox edged the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-4, in the second installment of a three-game interleague series at Fenway Park.
Victor Martinez and Kevin Youkilis each homered for the Red Sox, who won 10-6 in the series opener and have won five in a row overall.
Starter Tim Wakefield went 6 1/3 frames, allowing four runs -- three earned -- on five hits with six strikeouts. Jonathan Papelbon (2-3) worked a scoreless ninth to pick up the win.
Manny Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored against his former club. Garret Anderson had three hits, scored a run, and knocked in a run for the Dodgers, who have dropped three straight and six of eight overall.
Vicente Padilla allowed four runs on five hits in a 5 1/3-inning start. He was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the game.
With the score tied at four in the bottom of the ninth, Ronald Belisario (1-1) took over for Los Angeles. Bill Hall led off with a single, but was thrown out at second on Daniel Nava's bunt. Marco Scutaro walked two batters later to put men on first and second with two outs. Jonathan Broxton came in from the bullpen and Pedroia laced a 1-2 fastball into right field to end the game.
The Dodgers drew first blood with a run in the top of the second. Ramirez singled, stole second, and scored on Anderson's base hit.
Boston responded with a run in the home half to tie things up. Martinez walked and Hall singled to put men on first and second with two outs and Nava hit an RBI double.
The Red Sox plated two runs in the fourth to go in front. Youkilis singled and came around to score on Martinez's homer for a 3-1 lead.
LA cut the gap to one on Ramirez's solo shot over the Green Monster in the top of the sixth. Boston, though, got a solo homer from Youkilis in the home half to make it a 4-2 game.
The Dodgers scored twice in the seventh to make it a 4-4 game. Anderson led off with a double and crossed the plate two batters later on Blake DeWitt's two-bagger. DeWitt advanced to third on right fielder Hall's fielding error and scored when Matt Kemp lofted a fly ball to right off Manny Delcarmen.
LA stranded a runner on third in the top of the ninth.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
