Baseball Betting Lines

06/09/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The reeling Los Angeles Dodgers will try for their second consecutive victory when they battle the Toronto Blue Jays in the second matchup of a three-game set from Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers will send Derek Lowe to the rubber tonight. Lowe comes into this matchup with two consecutive victories and is now 6-5 on the year with a 3.44 ERA.

The last time the right-hander took the hill he defeated Pittsburgh 6-5. In the win over the Pirates, the 34-year-old allowed four runs on three hits and one walk in 7 2/3 innings.

Lowe has not had much success against the Blue Jays in his career and heads into this meeting against Toronto with a lackluster 5-8 ledger with a 5.31 ERA.

Shaun Marcum has done a mediocre job for the Blue Jays while filling in the rotation and will try for his third victory of the season this evening against Los Angeles.

The last time Marcum was on the hill, the right-hander lasted just three innings, allowing three runs of four hits and three walks. Despite the poor outing the Blue Jays were able to collect a 4-3 win.

This will be Marcum's first-ever appearance against Los Angeles.

On Friday, Olmedo Saenz belted a pinch-hit two-run home run in the 10th inning, as Los Angeles beat Toronto, 4-3.

With the score knotted at two, Toronto got a run in the 10th when John McDonald doubled and scored on pinch-hitter Gregg Zaun's single.

But, LA got the game-winner in the home half off Jeremy Accardo (1-2). Tony Abreu walked, and Saenz followed with a two-run blast to left field on a 0-1 pitch for his fourth-career game-ending homer.

Luis Gonzalez also homered for Los Angeles, which came in having ended a 10- game road trip by losing all three matchups with division rival San Diego. Brad Penny allowed one run on five hits with seven strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings for LA before Rudy Seanez (3-1) got the final out in the 10th for the win.

Matt Stairs homered for the Blue Jays, who lost their third straight.

Los Angeles snapped a string of five straight losses to the American League, which included three defeats to the rival Angels last month.

The Dodgers are a strong 18-10 at home so far this season, while the Blue Jays are just 10-17 on the road.

NFL ODDSTop Football Betting Free Agents to Change Teams

NFL Betting

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.

We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.

Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.

Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.

Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.

NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.

The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
