Blue Jays bash Nationals

Baseball Betting Lines

06/16/2007 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Troy Glaus homered and finished with three RBI to guide the Toronto Blue Jays past the Washington Nationals, 7-2, in the opener of a three-game interleague set at Rogers Centre.

Adam Lind added a two-run shot while ace Roy Halladay put together another quality outing for the Blue Jays, who have won two in a row. Halladay (7-2) allowed two runs on seven hits over 7 1/3 frames while striking out six. He is 3-0 in four starts since returning from a three-week stint on the disabled list due to appendicitis.

Mike Bacsik (1-4) took the loss after giving up three runs in 4 1/3 innings for Washington, which had a three-game winning streak snapped. Ryan Langerhans' two-run homer accounted for his team's offense.

Toronto put up a three-spot in the fourth to jump in front. Curtis Thigpen led the bottom of the inning off with a bunt single, and was driven in a batter later when Lind crushed a one-out homer into the right-field seats.

Alex Rios and Vernon Wells later came through with consecutive two-out singles before Glaus doubled to left to make it 3-0.

Two more runs in the sixth upped the lead to 5-0.

Glaus hit a leadoff homer -- his 11th long ball of the year -- to kickstart the inning, and Frank Thomas followed with a walk. Winston Abreu struck the next two batters out, but then yielded a double to Gregg Zaun that brought Thomas home.

John McDonald scored on an Abreu wild pitch in the seventh to extend the lead to 6-0.

The Nationals finally got on the board in the eighth courtesy of Langerhans' two-run homer to center.

That was it for Washington, though, and Zaun added a sacrifice fly in the eighth for the Blue Jays to cap the scoring.

Game Notes

Home plate umpire CB Bucknor left in the fifth inning because of an illness...The Nationals are 5-2 on their current nine-game road swing...Since the Expos relocated from Montreal to Washington following the 2004 campaign, the Nationals have dropped six of seven games played in Toronto... Bacsik has a four-start losing streak.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
