03/13/2010 - Getafe, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mallorca's troubles away from home continued on Saturday as the club suffered a 3-0 defeat at Getafe.
Mallorca entered the weekend in fourth place, level on points with Sevilla and only four behind third-placed Valencia, but the loss drops them into fifth place, while Getafe jumps into eighth and has renewed its hopes for a spot in Europe.
Daniel Parejo scored the opener after 32 minutes and a pair of substitutes, Miku and Manu, sealed the win with goals in the last 10 minutes, while Mallorca's Nunes was sent off just prior to the third goal.
Mallorca has put together one of the best home records in La Liga this season, but their form away from home has been poor as they have posted just two wins in 14 matches on the road.
The game started slowly with neither team doing much offensively in the first 30 minutes, but the first good chance fell to Getafe as Roberto Soldado played Pedro Leon in behind the defense, and he forced a save from goalkeeper Dudu Aouate.
However, Aouate couldn't keep out a close-range header minutes later from Parejo, who finished off a cross from Jaime Gavilan.
Mallorca was unable to get anything going offensively and they were fortunate to remain within a goal early in the second half as Aouate produced saves on both Leon and Javier Casquero.
But it wasn't until the final 10 minutes that all three points were secured as a pair of substitutes put the result out of reach.
Parejo had a hand in Miku's goal as he set up the young striker for a low shot that managed to get past Aouate, while Mallorca captain Nunes was sent off four minutes later when he handled the ball on his own goal line.
Manu easily converted the penalty kick with five minutes to play to wrap up the win, which snaps a six-game winless skid for Getafe.
Sevilla moved into fourth place after their 1-1 draw with Deportivo, while Athletic Bilbao had to settle for a 0-0 draw against Sporting Gijon as Bilbao's Igor Gabilondo missed a second-half penalty kick.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout
An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half.
Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off. Randy was not impressed though. Paula thought he started off fantastic. "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either.
Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed. Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact. He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition.
Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula. Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout.
Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next. Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential. Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell. He sang "Careless Whisper".
22 year old Chris Richardson was up next. He was listed with +1100 odds coming in. He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great.
Nick was boring and pitchy. Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week. Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition.
Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds . These of course were the early odds. He was considered original for picking an "odd song". He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night.
Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good.
Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds. Great voice and a great sense of humor. He's a real standout. Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit. Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig".
Jared Cotter followed. He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition. The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good.
22-year old AJ Talbado, who has tried out for American Idol five times, was up next. "Kind of a theme park performance" said Simon. Though the judges felt he performed okay. Simon did feel AJ might be better than he originally thought.
Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition. He was the last to perform. He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start.
Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys. Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
