Baseball Betting Lines

06/10/2007 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Konerko homered and Mark Buehrle finally earned his 100th career victory, as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Houston Astros, 6-3, to salvage the finale of a three-game set at U.S. Cellular Field.

Konerko finished with three hits, drove in two runs and also scored twice. Luis Terrero and Juan Uribe added solo homers for the White Sox, who snapped a five-game losing streak and won for only the second time in nine games.

Buehrle (3-3) had a solid outing, allowing one run on six hits while striking out four and walking one over eight innings. The left-hander had been 0-3 in seven outings since his 99th win on April 23.

Mark Lamb hit a solo homer for Houston, which had its brief two-game winning streak snapped. The Astros are 5-5 on the heels of a 10-game losing streak.

Wandy Rodriguez (3-6) was ineffective in the loss, giving up five runs -- four earned -- on seven hits. He struck out three and walked one.

The White Sox got the scoring started in the second inning when Konerko led off with a double and came around to score two batters later when Terrero singled to left to make it 1-0.

Konerko's one-out solo homer to left in the fourth increased the lead to 2-0.

Chicago continued on the home run attack in the fifth when Terrero hammered a solo home run to left and two batters later Uribe added a solo shot to put the home team ahead 4-0. The White Sox added another in the frame when Konerko singled in a run.

Lamb's two-out solo homer to right in the seventh inning got the Astros on the board.

The White Sox tacked on another run in the bottom of the seventh inning when Andy Gonzalez doubled in Tadahito Iguchi, who got things started with a one- out single.

Houston loaded the bases with one out in the ninth and scored a run on a Bobby Jenks wild pitch and another on an RBI ground out by Brad Ausmus to account for the final margin. Jenks recorded his 17th save of the season when he struck out Luke Scott to end the game.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
