Beltre's three homers put Texas back in ALCS

Baseball Betting Lines

10/04/2011 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Powered by three solo home runs by Adrian Beltre, the Rangers moved back into the American League Championship Series with a 4-3 Game 4 victory over the Rays.

Tampa Bay rallied for a run in the bottom of the ninth, but Rangers reliever Neftali Feliz got Desmond Jennings to ground into a fielder's choice with the potentially tying run on base, securing the series-clinching win.

The Rangers won the best-of-five Division Series against Tampa Bay, 3-1, beating the Rays in the ALDS for the second consecutive season. Last year, Texas won all three games played in St. Petersburg and used two victories at Tropicana Field to advance this season.

Beltre's third blast was the decisive run, and he became the sixth player in history to hit three homers in a postseason game. He is the first to do so since Adam Kennedy hit three for the Angels in Game 5 of the 2002 ALCS.

Ian Kinsler started Texas' power display by homering on the second pitch of the game.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
