Baseball Betting Lines

08/27/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aaron Hill drove in the game-winning run with a single in the 11th inning, as the Toronto Blue Jays snuck past the Detroit Tigers, 3-2, in the second test of a four-game series at Rogers Centre.

Adam Lind and Jose Bautista each homered for the Blue Jays, who bounced back from a 7-1 loss in the opener of this series.

Shaun Marcum went six innings in the start, allowing one run on eight hits. Shawn Camp (4-2) tossed two scoreless frames of relief to pick up the win.

Miguel Cabrera hit a solo homer for the Tigers, who had won six of seven. Johnny Damon tied the game in the ninth with an RBI single while starter Justin Verlander was solid in eight innings, allowing two runs on five hits with eight strikeouts.

Phil Coke (7-3) started on the mound for Detroit in the bottom of the 11th. After Lind went down looking, John Buck singled and Fred Lewis walked. John McDonald came on as a pinch-runner for Buck and crossed the plate on Hill's base hit to right-center.

Trailing 2-1, the Tigers scored a run off Kevin Gregg in the ninth to tie the game. Austin Jackson led off with a triple and scored two batters later on Damon's base hit to right. Detroit went on to strand runners on first and second.

Brad Thomas and Ryan Perry combined to pitch a scoreless home ninth to send the game into extras. Detroit left the bases loaded in the 10th, while the Blue Jays stranded men on first and second.

The Tigers stranded men on first and second in the first and second innings before Bautista broke a scoreless tie with his major league-leading 42nd homer in the fourth.

Detroit put men on first and second in the fifth, but Damon grounded into an inning-ending double play.

Cabrera tied the game in the top of the sixth with a homer off the left-field foul pole. The Tigers moved runners to second and third with two outs later in the frame. Alex Avila, though, flied out.

Toronto left men on second and third in the home sixth. With two outs, Yunel Escobar singled and Bautista doubled. Vernon Wells grounded out to end the threat.

Lind's homer to center in the seventh put the Blue Jays ahead 2-1.

The Tigers, who left men on first and second in the seventh, failed to take advantage of another scoring opportunity in the eighth. Brandon Inge hit a two-out triple to right, but Avila grounded out to end the frame.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
