Palmer set for Angels debut against Tigers

Baseball Betting Lines

04/23/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Palmer makes his Angels debut this evening when Los Angeles closes out its three-game series with the Detroit Tigers at Angel Stadium.

Los Angeles, which in addition to dealing with the Nick Adenhart tragedy, are dealing with four starting pitchers on the disabled list. So, tonight, Palmer will be recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to make the start.

Palmer appeared in three games for the San Francisco Giants last season and was 0-2 with an 8.53 earned run average. He has never faced the Tigers.

The Angels could use a big start from the 30-year-old right-hander after their bullpen imploded in a 12-10 loss on Wednesday. Magglio Ordonez, Brandon Inge and Adam Everett each collected three hits and drove in two runs, as Detroit scored five times in the seventh inning on its way to the win.

Curtis Granderson clubbed a solo home run as part of a three-hit effort and Placido Polanco added two RBI for the Tigers, who pounded out 18 hits and won for the seventh time in their last 10 outings.

A win today would give the Tigers their first series win in Anaheim since May 6-8, 2005.

Justin Verlander got the start for Detroit and did not factor in the decision, allowing seven runs on nine hits in five innings of work. Juan Rincon (1-0) was the benefactor of the big seventh inning and earned the win despite giving up a run on two hits in his only inning on the mound.

Kendry Morales hit a three-run homer and knocked in a career-high five runs for the Angels, who have dropped four of five and six of their last eight. Maicer Izturis and Torii Hunter both recorded three hits with a run batted in.

Joe Saunders surrendered five runs on seven hits over five innings in a no- decision. Scot Shields (0-2) was touched for four runs in the ill-fated seventh to absorb the loss.

Shields' ERA rose to 14.40 on the year, while the Los Angeles bullpen as a whole has pitched to a major league-worst 8.63 ERA.

Detroit will pin its hopes on righty Edwin Jackson, who is coming off his first win of the year and his best outing as a Tiger. Jackson scattered five hits over 7 2/3 scoreless innings on Saturday to beat the Seattle Mariners, upping his record to 1-0 on the year, while lowering his ERA to 2.14.

Jackson has faced the Angels seven times (four starts) and is 1-2 with a 5.73 ERA.

The Angels were 6-3 versus Detroit last year and are 17-10 in the series over the last three-plus seasons.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6  

The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.

Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com.  "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.

It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis.  It's like Week 1 of the NFL.  Pre-season means nada!

We do know the 24 finalists however.

Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24.  He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway.  He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. 

Brandon Rogers - Who?

Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition.  He should go a good distance.

Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was.  And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition.  He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice!  People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. 

"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks.  He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes.  But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.

A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”

Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. 

"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate.  "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past.  He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far.  Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."

Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) 

And the others:

Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter

The girls

"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis.  "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has.  The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive.  I think she will go far."

Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.

"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams.  Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth.  "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.

Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.

Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.

Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan
