Jimenez strikes out 10 in Colorado's win over Florida
Baseball Betting Lines

Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ubaldo Jimenez hurled seven innings of shutout
ball, and Brad Hawpe and Chris Iannetta each drove in a pair of runs as
Colorado downed Florida, 5-2, in the second test of a four-game set at Dolphin
Stadium.
Jimenez (8-9), who has won six of his last seven starts, walked three and
struck out 10 for the Rockies, who won for the second time in three games.
Matt Holliday was 2-for-5 with two runs scored.
Josh Willingham and Mike Jacobs had an RBI apiece for the Marlins, who lost
for the first time in three games.
Chris Volstad (2-2) allowed five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits in five
innings while walking three and punching out six en route to the loss.
The Rockies jumped on top with a pair of runs in the third. Willy Taveras
started things by getting on with a one-out bunt single. Holliday kept the
inning going with a two-out infield single and, on the play, Hanley Ramirez
threw the ball away and allowed Taveras to advance to third. Holliday then
swiped second and Hawpe followed with a two-run single.
Colorado added three more runs in the fifth. Troy Tulowitzki opened the frame
with a single to right and was quickly chased to third on Holliday's double.
Volstad settled down a bit from there and fanned Hawpe before getting Garrett
Atkins on a fly ball to left.
Volstad then fell apart, however. After intentionally walking Ian Stewart to
load the bases, Iannetta slapped a two-run single up the middle and Omar
Quintanilla followed with another RBI single to make it a 5-0 game.
The Marlins finally broke through off Taylor Buchholz in the ninth. Jeremy
Hermida reached first on a Tulowitzki throwing error and Jorge Cantu
followed with a double to center to put runners at second and third.
Willingham came through with an RBI single to left to spoil the shutout.
Colorado manager Clint Hurdle had seen enough at that point and called for
Brian Fuentes, who fanned Dan Uggla before giving up a sacrifice fly to
Jacobs. Cody Ross then popped up to second to end the game.
Fuentes earned his 19th save.

Big 12 Conference betting odds
Work left to do: Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas State
 Texas joins Texas A&M and Kansas as locks after getting league win No. 11. Texas Tech greatly helped its own hopes and crippled OK State's with the two-point win Saturday. Is K-State the last reasonable hopeful? Could be an elimination match in Stillwater on Tuesday, at least for the Cowboys.
Work left to do:
Texas Tech [18-11 (7-7), RPI: 44, SOS: 12] A critical two-point win over OK State leaves the Red Raiders with Baylor and at Iowa State left. Get both and the Red Raiders likely are good to go. Get one and there could be some interesting comparisons with a K-State team that could finish two or three games "ahead" of them in the standings but doesn't have any of the quality wins Texas Tech has. Not a lot in nonconference play (against Arkansas in Little Rock being the best win, by far) to lean on.
Oklahoma State [18-9 (5-8), RPI: 50, SOS: 35] Still without a road win, the Cowboys now need to win two on the road just to get to .500 in conference play. It's hard to recall a team (OK, other than Clemson) falling so precipitously from lock status to almost certainly out of the NCAAs at this point. There are wins to be had in the last three, including a very big home game against K-State on Tuesday, but this team is reeling. Can you tell the pressure to win is getting to them with the way the final possession played out at Texas Tech? There are some good nonconference performances to lean on, specifically beating Missouri State and Syracuse on neutral floors and Pitt in OK City, but if the Pokes don't right this very, very soon, that won't be enough.
Kansas State [20-9 (9-5), RPI: 56, SOS: 96] It pays to be in the Big 12 North. The nine league wins are Colorado (twice), Missouri (twice), Iowa State (twice), Baylor, Nebraska and (a good one against) Texas. That helps explain the middling computer profile. The win over USC is nice, but the nonconference leaves a lot to be desired. The game at OK State in Stillwater on Tuesday is huge, as it could KO the Cowboys and leave K-State with a home date against Oklahoma with which to work.
