Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Miguel Tejada batted 2-for-5 with a double and
three runs batted in, as the Houston Astros topped Los Angeles, 8-5, snapping
the Dodgers' eight-game winning streak.
Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer as part of a two-hit effort in Tuesday's game,
the opener of a three-game series. Kaz Matsui finished with a hit, two walks
and two RBI as Houston snapped a two-game slide.
Russ Ortiz (1-0) started for the Astros and allowed three runs on three hits
and five walks in five innings. It was his second start this season, and first
win since April 20, 2007, when he pitched with the Giants. Ortiz missed time
with multiple stints on the disabled list in 2007 and did not pitch at all in
2008 after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
Jose Valverde escaped a bases-loaded situation in the ninth inning, despite
appearing to injure his right leg, to nail down his first save this season.
Manny Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and three total RBI
for the Dodgers, who hadn't lost since April 10 against Arizona and were
coming off sweeps of San Francisco and Colorado. Matt Kemp went 2-for-4 for LA
and has now hit safely in all 14 games to begin the season.
Clayton Kershaw (0-1) took the loss after allowing six runs on eight hits in 4
1/3 innings.

Big East Conference odds
Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence
 Notre Dame and Louisville appear to have done enough to make the move, so we'll make them locks. The Cardinals, despite a modest RPI, are trending way up and have clinched at least a tie for third in the Big East, which should be more than enough with their pair of big road wins. Villanova got back to .500 and gets back to more solid footing. Syracuse got a very important road win and crippled a fellow contender in the process. West Virginia's fate could be in its hands Tuesday at Pitt.
Work left to do:
Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8.
Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday.
DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ...
West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule.
Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
