Blue Jays get by Rays on late Overbay doubleBaseball Betting Lines08/06/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lyle Overbay doubled home the go-ahead run in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays edged Tampa Bay, 2-1, in the opener of a three-game series at Rogers Centre. Edwin Encarnacion doubled and scored the other run for Toronto, which has won three of its last four games. Brett Cecil (9-5) pitched seven solid innings, allowing a run on four hits. He walked two batters and finished with nine strikeouts, one shy of his career high. Willy Aybar had an RBI double for the Rays, who were coming off an 8-3 homestand. Tampa Bay dropped the final two games on the residency to Minnesota and now has lost three consecutive games for the first time since June 20-23. Matt Garza (11-6) allowed two unearned runs on four hits in eight full frames. The Rays entered Friday a half-game behind the Yankees for first place in the AL East. Toronto broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh, taking advantage of a miscue by the Rays. Jose Bautista hit a chopper back to the mound and reached on Garza's poor toss to first base. The error snapped a string of 12 in a row retired by the right- hander since Encarnacion's leadoff double back in the third. One out later, Adam Lind lined a single to right, and Bautista eventually scored the go-ahead run on Overbay's two-out double. Tampa Bay left fielder Gabe Kapler nailed the trailing runner at the plate to end the inning, however. Shawn Camp hurled a perfect eighth in relief of Cecil and Kevin Gregg worked around a leadoff single in the ninth by Evan Longoria to record his 25th save of the season. The Rays grabbed a 1-0 lead behind a two-out RBI double in the first by Aybar. A throwing error produced the tying run for Toronto in the third. Jose Molina lined out to Tampa Bay second baseman Sean Rodriguez, who tried to double up Encarnacion at second. But he missed shortstop Jason Bartlett with the toss and allowed Encarnacion to score. Cecil settled down on the mound after giving up three hits in the opening frame and retired 13 Rays in a row until B.J. Upton walked to begin the sixth. Rodriguez singled to place runners on first and second with no outs, but Cecil got Longoria to ground into a 5-4-3 double play. Aybar then walked to put men on the corners for Ben Zobrist, who went down swinging after being ahead 3-0 in the count. Game Notes Garza tossed his third complete game of the season and sixth of his career. He had won his last four decisions...The Rays have placed first baseman Carlos Pena on the 15-day disabled list with a plantar fascia sprain in his right foot and recalled pitcher Dale Thayer from Triple-A Durham on Friday...Toronto pitcher Jesse Litsch was placed on the 15-day DL and is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair a labral tear in his right hip next week. Litsch is expected to miss 4-to-6 months. The Blue Jays recalled pitcher Brad Mills from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the vacated spot in the rotation. Mills is slated to start on Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Super Bowl XLIV OddsSuper Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds. Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44. Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season. That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason. Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium. After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10. The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1). To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
