06/01/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After having a three-game winning streak halted on Saturday, the Toronto Blue Jays will attempt to get back on track when they close out a three-game weekend set against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim this afternoon.
Last night, Juan Rivera's pinch-hit single in the bottom of the 10th inning plated Casey Kotchman for the winning run as the Angels edged Toronto, 3-2.
Scot Shields (3-1) got the win after he threw a scoreless top of the 10th for Los Angeles, which snapped a two-game slide. Brian Tallet (0-1) took the loss for the Blue Jays.
The game featured two strong performances from the starting pitchers. John Lackey threw eight innings for the Angels and allowed two runs -- one earned -- on six hits and a walk, while striking out seven. Shaun Marcum gave up just two runs in seven innings despite giving up 11 hits for the Blue Jays.
The Angels improved to 2-0 in extra-inning games, while Toronto fell to 3-4.
A.J. Burnett will take the mound for Toronto this afternoon, and he has a mediocre 5-5 record with a modest 4.57 ERA. Burnett does have 65 strikeouts in 69 innings of work, but he has also permitted 71 hits to go along with 31 walks.
The righty is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in two career outings against the Angels.
Jon Garland is slated to oppose Burnett, and he is 5-3 with a 3.89 ERA this season. The right-hander pitched extremely well against Detroit on Monday, as he threw 7 1/3 shutout innings of four-hit ball. Unfortunately, he didn't figure in the decision.
Garland has already beaten the Blue Jays once this season and is 10-2 with a 4.17 ERA lifetime against Toronto.
The Angels took two of three from the Jays at the Rogers Centre from May 20-22. Toronto, though, holds a slight 8-7 edge in its last 15 visits to Anaheim.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.
NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
