Cubs Dunn in by Reds

Baseball Betting Lines

04/02/2007 - Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Adam Dunn belted a pair of home runs, as the Cincinnati Reds routed the big-spending Chicago Cubs, 5-1, to begin a season-opening three-game series at Great American Ball Park.

Dunn drove in three runs for the Reds, while Ken Griffey Jr. finished 2-for-3 with a run scored. Ryan Freel went 2-for-4 and scored a run.

Cincinnati starter Aaron Harang (1-0) fared much better this Opening Day than he did last year. Against the Cubs in last season's opener, he allowed nine runs -- six earned -- and nine hits over just five innings. This year, Harang gave up just one run on six hits with a pair of walks and five strikeouts.

Derrek Lee went 2-for-3 for the Cubs, who did more in the free agency market this past offseason than any other team. In addition to the big catch of outfielder Alfonso Soriano, the club signed pitchers Ted Lilly and Jason Marquis to big-money deals, and also brought in the versatile Mark DeRosa and slugger Cliff Floyd.

DeRosa went 1-for-2, while Soriano, who became just the fourth player in league history to join the 40/40 club last season with 46 homers and 41 steals, went 1-for-4 in the loss.

Making his third straight Opening Day start, Carlos Zambrano (0-1) allowed five runs on six hits with five walks and a pair of strikeouts in five frames to absorb the loss.

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.
