08/11/2010 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dallas Braden threw his fourth complete game of the season -- and of his career -- while Mark Ellis doubled three times and drove in as many runs in helping the Athletics salvage their three-game series with the Mariners, 5-1.
Braden (7-8) needed just 104 pitches to go the distance for the second time in three starts, allowing a mere four hits and two walks while striking out six for Oakland, which lost the first two of the set by a combined 5-1 score.
Luke French (1-3) was on the other end of the decision, surrendering four runs on seven hits and three walks in a six-inning start for Seattle, which finished a 5-4 homestand on a losing note.
Oakland never trailed thanks to Ellis doubling to lead off the away second and coming around to score on Coco Crisp's two-out line drive to left.
The A's increased their lead when Landon Powell's base hit plated Rajai Davis in the fourth, then made it 4-0 with another two-out hit an inning later, as Ellis' double down the third-base line scored Kurt Suzuki from third and Cliff Pennington from first.
Braden faced the minimum through six frames thanks to three inning-ending double play balls. In the seventh, the left-hander loaded the bases with one out for Franklin Gutierrez, whose flyout to the warning track in left-center was plenty deep for Ichiro Suzuki to cross the plate.
Casey Kotchman grounded out to first to end the inning and Oakland quickly got the run back in the eighth, as Chris Seddon entered from the bullpen with one out, walked Pennington and gave up an RBI double to Ellis.
Braden used just eight pitches in a perfect eighth, and set down the top of Seattle's order in the ninth to finish off yet another solid performance.
Game Notes
The A's have won 11 of their last 12 day games and are an MLB-best 28-11 during the day for the season...Seattle had won 16 of 18 against the A's at Safeco Field...Daren Brown was trying to become only the second Mariners manager to win each of their first three games at the helm...A's shortstop Adam Rosales left the game early on with an ankle injury.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
