07/11/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Travis Ishikawa went 2-for-3 and drove in three, and rookie Madison Bumgarner tossed six-plus solid innings, as the San Francisco Giants earned a 6-2 win over the Washington Nationals in the rubber match of a three-game set.

Washington mounted a two-out threat in the sixth by loading the bases, but Mike Morse flied out to shallow right to end the inning.
Ian Desmond led off the seventh with a base hit to end the afternoon for Bumgarner. Chris Ray took over on the hill and walked pinch-hitter Willie Harris, then issued a RBI single to Cristian Guzman two batters later. After Ryan Zimmerman walked, Jeremy Affeldt came on and was greeted by a run-scoring single from Dunn to get the Nats within 5-2. Giants manager Bruce Bochy again went the his bullpen and brought in Sergio Romo, who recorded the final two outs of the inning.
Uribe's run-scoring single in the eighth put the Giants up 6-2. Wilson retired the final batter in the bottom half and threw a scoreless ninth to close out the win.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
