Baseball Betting Lines

04/25/2009 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aaron Hill went 2-for-6 with three runs driven in and one scored, as the Toronto Blue Jays scored a season-high 14 runs on a season-high 21 hits in a 14-0 rout of the Chicago White Sox in the opener of a three-game set.

Vernon Wells and Rod Barajas each had three hits and two RBI for the Blue Jays, who won their third straight and seventh in nine tries. Jose Bautista had a solo homer, and every other starter for Toronto had at least one RBI except for Lyle Overbay, who went 0-for-4.

Brian Tallet (1-0) got the win after throwing 5 2/3 innings and giving up just four hits with five strikeouts and three walks.

Chris Getz and Brian Anderson had two hits each to account for four of the six hits for Chicago, which dropped its second straight and third in four tries.

Gavin Floyd (2-2) took the loss after giving up six runs -- five earned -- on nine hits over 4 1/3 innings. He also struck out five and walked as many batters.

Toronto took the lead in the first inning. Wells had a two-run double and Adam Lind had an RBI double to give the Blue Jays a 3-0 lead.

Alex Rios led the third inning off with a double, stole third and crossed home as Scott Rolen cracked a single to center to give the visitors a 4-0 cushion.

The Blue Jays padded their lead a few innings later. A wild pitch by Floyd in the fifth scored Rolen, and Hill added an RBI single to plate Barajas.

Wells opened the sixth with a single off Jack Egbert and Lind followed with a double. Rolen advanced the runners with a groundout and Overbay was issued a free pass. Barajas, Travis Snider and Marco Scutaro kept it going with an RBI single each and Hill stroked a two-run double. Rios launched a sac fly to center and it was 12-0.

Barajas' double in the seventh scored Lind, who doubled to leadoff the frame. Bautista opened the ninth with a homer to left field, which made it 14-0.

Game Notes

Toronto was 9-for-26 with RISP, while Chicago was 1-for-8 in that situation...Tallet has faced the White Sox seven times (two starts) and is 2-1 against them...Floyd had won his last two starts. Floyd, a 17-game winner a year ago, is just 0-2 lifetime against the Jays in three games (two starts)...Chicago's Jim Thome is one RBI away from 1,500 for his career...Toronto dominated the White Sox a season ago, winning seven of its eight matchups against them, including three of the four games contested in the Windy City.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule.
