ATLANTIC CITY Justin Grimm Jersey , N.J. (AP) Resorts Casino Hotel and DraftKings on Wednesday received approval to become the first companies to offer online and mobile sports betting in New Jersey.The state Division of Gaming Enforcement gave approval to the casino and its Boston-based online partner to launch an invitation-only version of mobile sports betting, which will undergo several days of testing before becoming fully available. Requests for invitations to participate can be made at draftkings.com.A launch was expected to happen Wednesday afternoon or evening.The companies won a heated race to be first to market with mobile and online sports betting, which is widely seen as the most promising segment of the nascent sports betting market. New Jersey regulators are considering mobile applications from several other companies and could soon approve additional online providers.Four casinos and two horse tracks currently offer in-person sports betting.Resorts officials declined to comment on Wednesday’s launch, which came hours after Harrah’s became the fourth Atlantic City casino to offer sports betting: A Frank Sinatra impersonator asked Luck to be a lady as he bet on the New York Yankees, and an Elvis impersonator thanked the clerk very much for handing him a similar bet slip.Harrah’s started taking sports bets two days after its sister property, Bally’s, did, joining the Borgata, Ocean Resort, Bally’s and two horse racing tracks http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , the Meadowlands and Monmouth Park.”I did one with my heart and one with my head,” said James Prendergast, of Washington Township in Warren County. ”My heart bet on the (New York) Giants to win the Super Bowl, and my head bet on the (Houston) Texans.”Longtime Harrah’s customer Alan Kallman, of Monroe Township, placed the first sports bet at Harrah’s, putting $25 on the Yankees to win the World Series – after his wife talked him out of betting on the Boston Red Sox.”There’s a saying, Alan: Happy wife, happy life,” said Kevin Ortzman Blaine Boyer Jersey , Atlantic City president of Caesars Entertainment, which owns Harrah’s, Bally’s and Caesars.Ortzman said Bally’s sports book ”has met our expectations” during its first two days of operation, but he would not say how much in bets it had taken in.New Jersey won a U.S. Supreme Court case in May clearing the way for all 50 states to offer sports betting should they choose to do so.—Follow Wayne Parry at http://twitter.com/WayneParryAC This time it was Eduardo Rodriguez struggling on the mound"That brought us to the bottom of the fourth, and Rodriguez was falling back into the pattern we saw early in the game. The lefty was nibbling again and couldn’t finish anyone off. Healy started the inning off with his second double of the game and Tom Murphy drew a four-pitch walk. That brought up Drew Moore, who worked a tough eleven-pitch at bat, but ended it with a huge double play. There was a runner on third, but suddenly Rodriguez was one out from escaping the inning. Dee Gordon benefited from some good luck, though, as Devers was playing in on the grass and Gordon poked a little bloop just over Devers’ glove for an RBI single to break the tie. Gordon then moved over to third on a stolen base and a throwing error — it was a tough error on Blake Swihart http://www.royalsfanproshop.com/authentic-ryan-goins-jersey , who made a fine throw that wasn’t held onto by Brock Holt — but he was stranded there.After the Red Sox failed to take advantage of a pair of infield singles and stranded two more runners in the fifth, Rodriguez came back out despite being at 86 pitches. Cora wasn’t kidding about wanting length in this game and was willing to push his starter to get it. That strategy did not pay off. Rodriguez didn’t get any favors from his defense as the inning started with Moreland failing to hold on to a fairly easy throw from Bogaerts (it was a little high, but clearly should have been caught) for an error. That was followed by a base hit before Bruce came through with the dagger, blasting a three-run shot on a first-pitch fastball. Just like that, it was a four-run lead for Seattle.

The righty had a solid day out of the ‘pen, allowing a pair of singles but nothing else as he recorded five outs.Tyler Thornburg came out next for the Red Sox to start the seventh with Boston still trailing 6-2. He needed 25 pitches but got through a scoreless inning in which he allowed just one baserunner on a walk.The eighth belonged to Hector Vel谩zquez, and he tossed a great 1-2-3 inning to finish off a second consecutive very strong day for the Red Sox bullpen.Meanwhile, the Red Sox offense managed just two singles between the sixth and eighth innings before getting something going in the ninth. There, they got a single from Christian V谩zquez and a two-out walk from Benintendi to bring up Mookie Betts. It seemed he had ended the game with a ground out, but Moore’s throw sailed over the first baseman. That scored a run Melky Cabrera Jersey , and suddenly Rafael Devers came up representing the tying run. He’d slap a ground ball to the right side that ate up Moore, scoring another run and putting runners on the corners for J.D. Martinez. Once again, it was Moore at the center of the action as he butchered another ground ball to allow another run to score. Suddenly, it was a one-run game with runners on the corners, two outs and Xander Bogaerts at the plate. He couldn’t get the bat off his shoulder, though, striking out looking on three borderline pitches to end a wild inning and the game.Boston will look to reverse this recent trend with the series finale on Sunday. They’ll be sending Rick Porcello to the mound in search of a deep outing while the Mariners will counter with Wade LeBlanc. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 PM ET.BOXCourtesy of Fangraphs
