Baseball Betting Lines
07/19/2010 -
Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jason Kendall lofted a game-tying sacrifice
fly in the bottom of the 10th inning and Alberto Callaspo singled home the
winning run, as the Kansas City Royals rallied to beat Toronto, 5-4, in the
opener of a three-game series at Kauffman Stadium.
The Blue Jays had taken the lead in the top of the 10th against Kyle
Farnsworth (3-0) on an RBI single by Jose Bautista. Bautista's base hit placed
runners on the corners with nobody out. Vernon Wells hit a one-hopper to third
and Yunel Escobar, who reached after being hit on the hand while attempting a
bunt, was thrown out at home. Farnsworth fanned Adam Lind and retired Aaron
Hill on fly out to keep the damage to one run.
Scott Podsednik spurred the winning rally with a leadoff triple and scored on
Kendall's fly ball to center field. Toronto closer Kevin Gregg (0-4) gave up a
two-out hit to Billy Butler and then walked Jose Guillen on four pitches.
Callaspo followed with a single through the middle to score pinch-runner Chris
Getz and halt Kansas City's six-game losing streak.
Yuniesky Betancourt put the Royals on the board with a two-out RBI single in
the second. With two outs in the third, Escobar blasted a two-run homer to put
the Blue Jays up 2-1.
Three straight singles by Hill, Lyle Overbay and John Buck to start the
seventh increased Toronto's lead to 3-1.
Kansas City tied the game in the bottom of the inning. Mike Aviles walked,
advanced to third on a Willie Bloomquist double and came home when Betancourt
grounded out.
Scott Downs then replaced Toronto starter Brett Cecil and got Podsednik to
ground out. Bloomquist took third on the play and scored on Kendall's infield
single.
Kansas City closer Joakim Soria escaped a two-on, no-out jam in the top of the
ninth.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP
With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.
There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
