08/03/2010 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Baltimore third baseman Josh Bell helped give new manager Buck Showalter a victory in his debut, as the Orioles rallied past the Angeles, 6-3, in the opener of a three-game series at Camden Yards.
Showalter was introduced as the Orioles' new skipper on Monday. Juan Samuel had been guiding the team on an interim basis since Dave Trembley was fired back on June 4.
The 54-year-old Showalter brings plenty of managerial experience to a struggling O's team. He managed the New York Yankees from 1992-1995, then the Arizona Diamondbacks from 1998-2000. He also managed the Texas Rangers from 2003-06 and was named AL Manager of the Year in 1994, and again 10 years later.
Josh Bell capped a four-run sixth inning with a two-run double to help Baltimore halt a three-game skid. The Orioles, though, hold the worst record in baseball at 33-73. Luke Scott added a two-run homer and Matt Wieters had two RBI.
Jeremy Guthrie (5-11) went seven innings in the start, allowing three runs on five hits. The right-hander came into the game with a 1-7 mark in his previous 11 starts.
Howie Kendrick hit a two-run homer for the Angels, who have dropped nine of 12. Mike Napoli knocked in the other run in defeat.
Trevor Bell, making his second start of the season, gave up two runs on four hits in 5 1/3 frames. Francisco Rodriguez (0-2) allowed three runs on three hits to take the loss.
Trailing 2-1, the Orioles scored four times in the sixth to go ahead. Ty Wigginton worked a one-out walk, chasing Trevor Bell from the game. Rodriguez took over and Scott greeted him with a blast over the wall in right. After Adam Jones flied out, Felix Pie singled and Wieters was intentionally walked. Josh Bell then cleared the bases with a double to left for a 5-2 lead.
LA got a run back in the seventh to cut the gap to two. Kendrick hit a two-out double and crossed the plate on Napoli's single off the wall in right.
Wieters' RBI bloop single in the eighth accounted for the final margin.
The Angels scored twice in the top of the fifth to break a scoreless tie. Alberto Callaspo led off with a single and crossed the plate on Kendrick's homer to left.
The O's got one run back in the home half to make it a 2-1 game. Pie doubled and scored on Wieters' two-bagger to right-center field. Trevor Bell retired the next three batters to keep LA in front.

Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds
Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:
Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
Arizona Cardinals +6.5 (-110), Under 46.5 (-110), +220 (Money line)
