Prado, Braves rough up Hamels, PhilliesBaseball Betting Lines07/01/2009 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Prado was at it again, scoring three runs and driving in two more runs after a four-RBI evening on Tuesday, as Atlanta poured it on Philadelphia, 11-1, at Turner Field. Gregor Blanco scored twice, Chipper Jones drove in three runs, Brian McCann knocked in two and Matt Diaz hit a two-run home run for Atlanta, winners of three straight. Jair Jurrjens (6-6), who suffered from a lack of run support in June, turned over to a new month by coming within eight outs of a no- hitter. Paul Bako broke up the no-hitter with two outs in the seventh, slicing a single into right field. Jurrjens finished the frame, allowing one run on just the one hit to go along with six strikeouts and four walks. Cole Hamels (4-5) continued a frustrating campaign, surrendering seven runs on nine hits with two walks and one strikeout over four-plus frames. Last season's World Series MVP has given up 11 earned runs over his last 8 2/3 frames. Greg Dobbs drove in the lone Phillies run with a sacrifice fly, and Jimmy Rollins is now hitless in his last 27 official at-bats. The Phillies have lost the first two games of this series and now sit just a half-game in front of fast-charging Florida in the mediocre National League East. Hamels was hurt by the bottom of the order in the third and the two men who have suddenly found their strokes in this series -- Blanco and Prado. The pitcher Jurrjens blooped a single to right with one out, then Blanco hit a ball that deflected off Hamels' leg for an infield base hit. Prado followed with a sharp double past Dobbs in left, scoring both runners. Jones continued the onslaught with a base hit to center, scoring Prado for the 3-0 lead. The Phillies got one back without a hit in the fourth, as Jayson Werth walked with one out, moved up two bases on a wild pickoff throw from Jurrjens and scored on Dobbs' sacrifice fly to left. Atlanta opened the floodgates in a sixth-run fifth. Blanco and Prado were at it again with a walk and single, and Jones doubled them both home with a sinking liner into open space in left-center field. McCann then roped an RBI single to right, ending Hamels night in favor of Tyler Walker. He fared no better, giving up a two-run opposite field homer to Diaz and the first career home run for Diory Hernandez, whose shot made the score 9-1. The Braves added two more in the eighth on run-scoring singles by pinch-hitter Yunel Escobar and McCann, respectively. Game Notes Jurrjens had not won since May 29th, losing his last four decisions...Hamels has not posted a victory since June 4th...Rollins is now batting .205...Hamels' ERA now sits at 4.98...Attendance: 25,212.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
