Jays try to end interleague woes in San DiegoBaseball Betting Lines06/14/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A pair of right-handers trying to snap personal two-game losing streaks square off this evening, when Jon Garland and the San Diego Padres welcome Shaun Marcum and the Toronto Blue Jays to Petco Park for the opener of a three-game interleague set. After opening the year with six wins through his first eight decisions, Garland is winless in his last three outings. He pitched well against the New York Mets on Thursday, but still absorbed the loss after surrendering three runs and eight hits in six innings. Garland fell to 6-4 on the year and saw his earned run average rise to a still-respectable 2.81. The 30-year-old righty, who is 3-0 with a 1.15 ERA in six home starts this season, has faced the Blue Jays 18 times (16 starts) and is an outstanding 11-2 with a 3.96 ERA against them. Marcum, meanwhile, was roughed up by Tampa Bay on Wednesday, giving up seven runs and 10 hits in just four innings to slip to 5-3 on the season, while watching his ERA balloon to 3.38. He had won four straight starts before his current slide. It was only the fourth time the 28-year-old hurler has allowed seven runs or more in a start and the first since Sept. 11, 2007, when he gave up eight runs to the Yankees. This will be his first start against the Padres. Toronto continued to struggle in interleague play this weekend, as it was swept in its three-game set with the Colorado Rockies after falling 10-3 in Sunday's finale at Coors Field. Alex Gonzalez doubled twice, knocked in a run and scored one for the Blue Jays, who have lost six of seven overall and are a mere 1-5 versus the NL this season. "We're just not swinging the bats well. We haven't been swinging the bats well since we left Toronto," Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. Jesse Litsch (0-1) was making his first start since undergoing Tommy John surgery a season ago, but the Toronto right-hander lasted only 2 1/3 innings after getting raked for nine hits and seven runs. San Diego, meanwhile, was denied a sweep in its three-game weekend series with the Seattle Mariners, who managed a 4-2 win in Sunday's finale at Petco Park. Tony Gwynn Jr. had an inside-the-park home run in the loss, just the third in the last eight games for the Padres. Clayton Richard went seven innings for San Diego and gave up just five hits, but Luke Gregerson (1-2) and Joe Thatcher served up a run each in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively. Toronto took two of three from the Padres the last time these teams met back in 2004.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence Work left to do: Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8. Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday. DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ... West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule. Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
