07/09/2010 - Moscow, Russia (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Friday's opening singles winners in the best-of-five Davis Cup quarterfinal between visiting Argentina and host Russia were David Nalbandian and Mikhail Youzhny, respectively.
The oft-injured former Wimbledon runner-up Nalbandian got the Argentines on the board first by straight-setting world No. 6 Nikolay Davdyenko 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 7-6 (8-6) on the indoor hardcourt at Moscow's Olympic Stadium. The capable former top-five star Nalbandian prevailed in 2 hours, 47 minutes on Day 1.
The 14th-ranked Youzhny then leveled the tie for Russia with a comprehensive 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 victory over Leonardo Mayer. The uneventful bout was over in 2 hours, 7 minutes, as Mayer was unable to break Youzhny's serve, while the Russian tallied five breaks in 13 Mayer service games.
Saturday's pivotal doubles rubber will pit a Russian duo of Teimuraz Gabashvili and Igor Kunitysn against an Argentine duo of Nalbandian and Horacio Zeballos, while Sunday's reverse singles currently pit Davydenko against Mayer and Youzhny versus Nalbandian.
Team Russia is captained by long-time skipper Shamil Tarpischev, while the Argentines are led by Tito Vazquez, who also has Eduardo Schwank at his disposal this weekend.
Russia is 3-2 all-time versus Argentina, including a home victory in the final here back in 2006. The Russians captured their first Davis Cup title back in 2002.
Snake-bitten Argentina is still seeking its first-ever championship in this storied sporting event. The Argentines are three-time runners-up.
The winner here will face two-time defending champion Spain or France in September's semifinals.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
