Blue Jays crush White Sox

Baseball Betting Lines

04/25/2009 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aaron Hill went 2-for-6 with three runs driven in and one scored, as the Toronto Blue Jays scored a season-high 14 runs on a season-high 21 hits in a 14-0 rout of the Chicago White Sox in the opener of a three-game set.

Vernon Wells and Rod Barajas each had three hits and two RBI for the Blue Jays, who won their third straight and seventh in nine tries. Jose Bautista had a solo homer, and every other starter for Toronto had at least one RBI except for Lyle Overbay, who went 0-for-4.

Brian Tallet (1-0) got the win after throwing 5 2/3 innings and giving up just four hits with five strikeouts and three walks.

Chris Getz and Brian Anderson had two hits each to account for four of the six hits for Chicago, which dropped its second straight and third in four tries.

Gavin Floyd (2-2) took the loss after giving up six runs -- five earned -- on nine hits over 4 1/3 innings. He also struck out five and walked as many batters.

Toronto took the lead in the first inning. Wells had a two-run double and Adam Lind had an RBI double to give the Blue Jays a 3-0 lead.

Alex Rios led the third inning off with a double, stole third and crossed home as Scott Rolen cracked a single to center to give the visitors a 4-0 cushion.

The Blue Jays padded their lead a few innings later. A wild pitch by Floyd in the fifth scored Rolen, and Hill added an RBI single to plate Barajas.

Wells opened the sixth with a single off Jack Egbert and Lind followed with a double. Rolen advanced the runners with a groundout and Overbay was issued a free pass. Barajas, Travis Snider and Marco Scutaro kept it going with an RBI single each and Hill stroked a two-run double. Rios launched a sac fly to center and it was 12-0.

Barajas' double in the seventh scored Lind, who doubled to leadoff the frame. Bautista opened the ninth with a homer to left field, which made it 14-0.

Game Notes

Toronto was 9-for-26 with RISP, while Chicago was 1-for-8 in that situation...Tallet has faced the White Sox seven times (two starts) and is 2-1 against them...Floyd had won his last two starts. Floyd, a 17-game winner a year ago, is just 0-2 lifetime against the Jays in three games (two starts)...Chicago's Jim Thome is one RBI away from 1,500 for his career...Toronto dominated the White Sox a season ago, winning seven of its eight matchups against them, including three of the four games contested in the Windy City.

Stanley Cup betting

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.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6  

The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.

Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com.  "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.

It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis.  It's like Week 1 of the NFL.  Pre-season means nada!

We do know the 24 finalists however.

Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24.  He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway.  He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien. 

Brandon Rogers - Who?

Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition.  He should go a good distance.

Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was.  And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition.  He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice!  People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way. 

"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks.  He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes.  But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.

A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”

Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes. 

"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate.  "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past.  He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far.  Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."

Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts) 

And the others:

Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter

The girls

"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis.  "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has.  The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive.  I think she will go far."

Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.

"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams.  Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth.  "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.

Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.

Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.

Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan
