07/05/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jamie Moyer hopes for some run support this evening when the Philadelphia Phillies continue their four-game series with the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park.
Moyer lost his third straight start on Sunday against Texas, as he surrendered three runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings of a 5-1 loss, dropping him to 7-6 on the season, while raising his earned run average to 4.13.
The 45-year-old left-hander, who will be pitching on extra rest, has given up just eight runs over his last three starts, while the Phillies have managed only three runs in supporting him.
Moyer has faced the Mets 13 times and is 6-4 against them with a 2.67 ERA. He is 1-1 against the Mets this season, but was a hard-luck loser to them back on April 19 when he yielded two runs and seven hits in six innings of a 4-2 loss.
New York will counter with righty John Maine, who is 8-6 with a 3.86 ERA. Maine was tagged with the loss on Monday against the St. Louis Cardinals after giving up five runs (three earned) and seven hits in just four innings.
Maine defeated the Phillies earlier in the year, despite walking five batters in six innings, but owns a 4-0 lifetime mark against them with a 2.05 ERA in seven starts.
On Friday, Shane Victorino's two-out single in the bottom of the ninth inning lifted Philadelphia to a 3-2 win. Ryan Howard went 2-for-4 and drove in his 73rd run of the season for the Phillies, who have won four in a row.
Duaner Sanchez started the ninth for the Mets and struck out the first two batters he faced. Pedro Feliz then hooked a double into the left-field corner before Victorino smacked the game-winning single to right.
Chad Durbin was brilliant out of the bullpen, striking out six over 2 1/3 frames. Ryan Madson worked around a lead-off single by Endy Chavez in the eighth and Brad Lidge (2-0) set down the Mets in order in the ninth to earn the win.
J.A. Happ made his second major league start for Philadelphia in place of struggling hurler Brett Myers, who was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Happ did not factor into the decision, giving up two runs on three hits with four walks and three strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings.
Coincidentally, Happ's first start came against the Mets on June 30 of last season, though it wasn't a day to remember for the young left-hander. He allowed five runs on seven hits -- including three homers -- in four innings to take the loss.
The Phillies had relied on the same five starters the entire season before Happ's 2008 debut.
New York starter Johan Santana gave up two runs on six hits over eight solid innings in a no-decision. Santana is winless in his last six starts. Sanchez (3-1) was saddled with the loss.
Ramon Castro finished 2-for-3 with a run scored for the Mets, who have dropped two of their last three. Jose Reyes and David Wright each drove in a run for New York.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship
(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.
One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
