Cbaseball Betting Lines

06/02/2010 - Tempe, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arizona State lifted the interim tag of baseball coach Tim Esmay, giving him the job on a permanent basis.

Esmay took over in December to replace Pat Murphy, who resigned after more than 15 years in the position.

Prior to the 2010 season, Esmay spent the past five seasons as an assistant coach for ASU Baseball, including three as assistant head coach. A former Sun Devil player and assistant coach, Esmay has coached a total of 10 seasons at Arizona State.

The 45-year-old Esmay has led the Sun Devils to a 47-8 record this regular season. Arizona State earned a No. 1 national seed for the NCAA Tournament and will play Milwaukee in the Tempe Regional on Friday.

"I am extremely honored to lead this program and carry on the storied tradition," said Esmay. "To be able to be the head coach at my Alma Mater is a dream come true!"

Esmay was the head baseball coach at the University of Utah from 1997 to 2004, winning a WAC title and WAC Coach of the Year honors in 1997. In eight seasons at Utah he compiled a 213-235-1 record.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
