American League Championship Series Capsules

Baseball Betting Lines

10/09/2011 - Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Nelson Cruz's home run off Justin Verlander in the fourth inning was the difference, as the Rangers edged the Tigers, 3-2, in a rain-interrupted opener to the American League Championship Series. In a game that featured nearly two hours of delay, neither starter pitched through the fifth inning and neither bullpen gave up a run. Cruz's homer gave Texas a 3-0 lead, and the Rangers held on through two lengthy rain delays in the fifth inning to gain the early advantage in this best-of-seven series. Texas, which defeated Tampa Bay in a Division Series matchup, is back in the ALCS for a second consecutive year. The Rangers beat the Yankees in the 2010 ALCS before losing to San Francisco in the World Series. Detroit knocked off New York in the first round of the playoffs and is in the ALCS for the first time since 2006, when it lost the World Series to St. Louis. But the Tigers got off to a rocky start Saturday despite having Verlander (0-1) on the mound. The Detroit ace pitched just four innings in another postseason start cut short by rain -- his Game 1 outing in the ALDS lasted only one inning because of the weather. But in the four innings he threw Saturday, he gave up three runs on five hits and two walks. HASH(0x9e0b4cc)

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
