Jays hope to pin another sweep on O's

Baseball Betting Lines

07/18/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Blue Jays gun for their third consecutive three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles as the teams wrap up their series today at Camden Yards.

On Saturday, Jose Bautista hit a two-run homer in the top of the eighth inning, lifting the Blue Jays over the Orioles, 3-2, in the second test of a three-game set at Camden Yards.

Fred Lewis hit a solo homer for the Blue Jays, who won 4-2 in the opener of this series and have taken all eight matchups with Baltimore this season.

Brandon Morrow (6-6) went seven innings in the start, allowing two runs on five hits. He also fanned eight batters and walked two to improve to 1-5 in 10 starts on the road this year. Shawn Camp recorded his first save of the season.

Cesar Izturis knocked in two runs for the Orioles, who have dropped two in a row since a four-game winning streak.

Jeremy Guthrie gave up one run on seven hits in a 6 2/3-inning start. He also struck out six and walked one. Jason Berken (2-2) worked two frames of relief and allowed Bautista's homer to take the loss.

Brian Matusz will get the start today and he is in charge of helping Baltimore avoid being swept at home. The rookie left-hander, who is receiving some of the lowest run support in the AL at 3.4, made it only three innings in his last start on July 9th. In that game, he gave up four earned runs and six hits in the team's eventual 7-6 win over Texas.

In his lone career start against Toronto, Matusz was tagged for five runs in just 2 2/3 innings of a 7-3 loss last August. He gave up a career-high three home runs in the bout.

Countering for the Blue Jays is Shaun Marcum, who is expected to be activated from the disabled list prior to the contest. Marcum has some inflammation in his surgically repaired right elbow and that caused him to miss his last start.

The right-hander last pitched on July 1st, when he gave up six runs - five earned - in four innings of a 6-1 loss to Cleveland.

Marcum has made 12 lifetime appearances - 10 starts - versus the Orioles, going 2-2 with a 5.08 ERA. He is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in two starts versus them this season.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.

MySportsbook.com will offer comprehensive Nascar betting lines on every race remaining on the Nextel Cup series including driver match-ups, props and odds to win each race. For a complete list of NASCAR odds, please visit www.MySportsbook.com.
