Bautista homers again as Jays hammer RaysBaseball Betting Lines08/31/2010 - St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jose Bautista's 43rd home run of the season highlighted a 10-run sixth inning as Toronto hammered the Rays, 13-5, at Tropicana Field. Bautista leads the league in homers with his three-run blast giving him 102 RBI on the year, becoming the second player in the majors to reach the century mark. He later added an RBI single for a four-RBI night, but still trails the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera in the category. Aaron Hill had a two-run homer, John McDonald hit a solo home run and DeWayne Wise ended with three hits, knocked in two and scored twice in the rout that snapped a two-game skid and evened the three-game series at a game apiece. Meanwhile, Toronto starter Ricky Romero (11-8) pitched a three-hitter, leaving after 7 1/3 innings having allowed five runs -- four earned -- and five walks with as many strikeouts. Tampa Bay faltered a night after taking the series opener, 6-2, and saw the Yankees grab sole possession of first place in the AL East by a game with their 9-3 rout of Oakland on Tuesday. The Rays still lead Boston in the wild card standings by a healthy seven games. The hosts' undoing came by way of starter Jeff Niemann (10-5), who was roughed up for seven hits and seven runs in five-plus innings. He pitched to six batters in the fateful sixth frame without recording an out before Lance Cormier came on to allow four runs. After McDonald's home run in the third, Tampa Bay actually took the lead on a Ben Zobrist RBI single and Dan Johnson's two-run double in the fifth. It was all Toronto from there, starting with the marathon 10-run sixth as fourteen batters in all came to the plate. The barrage of runs started with Wise's base hit to center to score Fred Lewis. Vernon Wells doubled home two to begin a string of three consecutive two- baggers with Adam Lind and John Buck following suit to make it a 5-1 game and chase Niemann from the mound. Hill greeted Cormier with a two-run shot to left and Bautista later slugged his three-run blast out over the same wall for a commanding 11-3 lead. It was a 10-run game in the eighth as Wise scored a run with a groundout and Bautista added a run-scoring hit off Andy Sonnanstine. Reid Brignac chased home two runs with a single in the home eighth, but it was too little too late for the Rays. Game Notes Bautista also scored two runs and walked while McDonald scored three runs and was 2-for-4 with a walk...The Blue Jays accounted for 15 hits and went 7- for-12 with runners in scoring position...Romero has won four of his last five decisions...Niemann was coming off the worst performance of his career, having been battered for 10 runs and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings against Anaheim last Wednesday...The Rays had won three straight and seven of nine overall coming in.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet. Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots. Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4. To visit this online sportsbook got to MySportsbook.com for all your NFL football betting needs. |
