Blue Jays turn to Halladay versus Dodgers

Baseball Betting Lines

06/20/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Toronto Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay gets the nod this evening against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the second test of a three-game interleague series at Rogers Centre.

Halladay is 7-2 with a 4.37 ERA in 12 starts this season and is unbeaten over his last four trips to the mound (3-0). Halladay is riding a personal two- start winning streak and defeated Washington the last time out on June 15, yielding just a pair of runs in 7 1/3 innings of a 7-2 triumph in Canada.

The right-hander is a perfect 2-0 in two starts with a 1.69 ERA lifetime against the Dodgers.

Toronto has dropped two in a row after a three-game winning streak, including Tuesday's 10-1 setback in the series opener at home. Aaron Hill knocked in the lone run for the Blue Jays and starter Dustin McGowan surrendered six runs on eight hits with two walks and two strikeouts in just 1 2/3 frames.

The Blue Jays, who are 11 1/2 games behind AL East-leading Boston, also noted that starter A.J. Burnett will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder strain.

Dodgers ace Brad Penny earned the win last night after pitching seven innings of one-run, six-hit ball with five strikeouts and one walk. Penny lowered his ERA to 2.12 and is unbeaten in six starts since a May 18 loss to the Angels.

Russell Martin ended 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs batted in and Luis Gonzalez ended 3-for-4 with four runs batted in and a run scored. Marlon Anderson drove in two runs, while Juan Pierre and Jeff Kent each scored three times for the Dodgers, who have won five of their last seven games and sit 1 1/2 games behind San Diego for the top spot in the NL West.

Taking the ball for the Dodgers tonight will be Hong-Chih Kuo, who is 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA in five games (3 starts) this season. Kuo won his last start on June 15 against the Mets, pitching seven innings of one-run ball.

The Taiwanese left-hander will make his first appearance against Toronto.

LA and the Blue Jays met in early June with Toronto winning two of three on the road. Toronto also won two of three at home versus the Dodgers in 2004.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
