Big Papi wins Home Run DerbyBaseball Betting Lines07/12/2010 - Anaheim, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz won the 2010 Home Run Derby, beating Florida Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez, 11-5, in the final round Monday at Angel Stadium. Ortiz, who was in the derby from 2004-06, became the first Red Sox player to win the competition. Ortiz hit eight homers in the first round and 13 more in round two before tying the record for most homers in a last round. Bobby Abreu had that many in 2005 when he won with a record total of 41 long balls hit at Detroit's Comerica Park. It was a slow start to the regular season for Ortiz, who had one home run in April, but he has 18 at the All-Star break. His 32 homers at the derby are third-most all-time, behind Abreu and Josh Hamilton, who hit 35 in 2008. Ramirez was also on target with nine in round one and 12 more the ensuing round, but he belted just five in the final round. After his sixth out, Ortiz arrived at home plate and gave Ramirez a drink, wiped his forehead and encouraged the 26-year-old, but he hit just one more homer. Each batter was given 10 outs in every round of the competition, which is held in advance of Tuesday's All-Star Game. Milwaukee right fielder Corey Hart hit the most home runs in the first round with 13, but then had to wait nearly 1 1/2 hours for his turn in the second round and was shut out. Because the homers from the first and second rounds were totaled to determine the final two participants, Hart was eliminated. Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera, who has 22 homers at the All-Star break, barely made it out of the first round with seven homers and added just five to that total in round two. St. Louis' Matt Holliday (5), the Yankees' Nick Swisher (4), Toronto's Vernon Wells (2) and Arizona's Chris Young (1) didn't make it out of the first round. Holliday, though, had the distinction of hitting the longest homer of the night at 497 feet.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season. In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
