Baseball Betting Lines
08/18/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Clayton Richard allowed just one run in 6 2/3
strong innings, leading the San Diego Padres to a 5-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs in the third of four games at Wrigley Field.
Richard (11-5) yielded seven hits and two walks while fanning two for the
Padres, who have won four straight and nine of 10 to increase their lead over
the Giants to 5 1/2 games in the NL West. Adrian Gonzalez added his 23rd homer
and scored three times, reaching base in each of his five plate appearances.
Matt Stairs added two RBI on a first-inning double in the win.
Jeff Baker hit an RBI double for the struggling Cubs, who have lost 17 of 21
overall and nine of their last 10 games at home. Casey Coleman (0-1), making
his first career start, allowed three runs on six hits and three walks in 4
1/3 frames to take the loss.
After the game, the Cubs reached agreement with the Braves to send long-time
first baseman Derrek Lee to Atlanta. In return, Chicago will receive three
minor league pitchers.
The Padres reached Coleman for two runs in the opening inning.
Jerry Hairston, Jr. walked with one down, and Gonzalez followed with a four-
pitch walk. After Chase Headley was hit by a pitch to load the bases, Stairs
doubled to left to plate two runners.
The Cubs got on the board on back-to-back doubles by Alfonso Soriano and
Baker in the second, but Richard shut down the Chicago offense from there.
Gonzalez restored San Diego's two-run lead with a solo homer in the third, and
Richard pitched into the seventh without giving up another run. He was pulled
after giving up a two-out single in favor of Luke Gregerson, who struck out
Marlon Byrd to end the inning.
Gonzalez singled and scored on a wild pitch in the eighth, while Headley hit a
sacrifice fly in the ninth to add two insurance runs for San Diego.
Game Notes
The Cubs have lost six straight at home...Richard has won his last four

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson
JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.
Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.
MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .
''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''
Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.
He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.
''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''
Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.
With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
