Hollywood Sportsbook features odds on the MLB game between the San Diego
Padres and the San Francisco Giants on September 8th 2006. The San Diego
Padres, who haven't been in first place in the West since August 9, beat the
Rockies 5-4 on Tuesday to pull within one game of division-leading Los
Angeles and opened a two-game lead in the wild-card race over Philadelphia,
which was rained out. So now the San Diego Padres are in position to move
back atop the division, when they play season series with the San Francisco
Giants on Friday. The game is scheduled to start at 10:15 p.m. (ET) at AT&T
Park and Hollywood Sportsbook proudly features odds on the event.
Hollywood's Media Relations executive, Alejandro Gomez, was quoted saying -
"The Padres dropped out of first place in the NL West nearly a month ago and
now they are hoping to move for first place in the West, fortunately they
are doing the things they need to do to win". "San Diego is now six games
over .500 for the first time since July 29 and is stretching their lead to
two games over Philadelphia in the NL Wild Card race with a 5-4 win Tuesday
over Colorado. On the other hand, the Giants became a .500 team for the
first time since July 27; losing for just the seventh time in 22 games -
Something that tells a lot about Friday's game," added Mr. Gomez.
