Angels, Jays wrap up set in Anaheim

Baseball Betting Lines

07/06/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The American League West-leading LA Angels of Anaheim are set to play the rubber match of a three-game weekend set against the Toronto Blue Jays.

On Saturday, Alex Rios went 3-for-5 and drove in two runs, and Vernon Wells clubbed a two-run homer as the Blue Jays staved off a late rally to beat the Angels, 7-5. Roy Halladay (10-6) threw seven innings and yielded just two runs on six hits, while fanning seven and walking just one batter. Halladay has now won seven of his last eight decisions.

Adam Lind was responsible for the other RBI for the Blue Jays, who had lost their previous three contests. Vladimir Guerrero hit a two-run home run and finished with three RBI for the Angels, who still boast a 4-2 record over their last six showdowns. John Lackey (6-2), who had won his last five starts, took the loss as he was touched for six runs -- five earned -- on seven hits in six innings. The six frames is the shortest outing of the season for Lackey.

Jesse Litsch has been impressive for Toronto this season, and the right-handed hurler has a chance to improve his 8-4 record and 3.69 ERA today. He has shown strong command, walking only 15 batters in 102.1 innings of work. Litsch allowed only one run over 5.2 innings against Seattle on Tuesday but did not factor in the decision.

The second-year hurler is 1-0 lifetime against Angels with a 2.84 ERA.

Speaking of the Angels, they will count on Jon Garland for a good performance today. The right-handed hurler is 7-5 this season with a 3.99 ERA, and he took the loss in his most recent outing despite allowing only two earned runs in six innings.

Garland is 1-0 this season against Toronto and 10-2 lifetime against the Jays. Still, his 4.23 ERA against Toronto isn't overly impressive.

Anaheim has won five of its eight 2008 meetings with Toronto and took two of three matchups with the Jays at Angel Stadium from May 30-June 1.

Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament odds  
As of February 9, MySportsbook.com has released its coveted 2007 Mens NCAA Basketball Tournament betting odds. “March Madness betting ” only a month away, the top ranked Florida Gators are favorite at 7-2 to win it all. The defending champs have not disappointed at all this season and currently have a 22-2 record and are undefeated (9-0) in SEC play. The Gators’ thrive off of their extremely balanced, experienced and versatile attack. All five starters started in last seasons National Championship game. What is most impressive with this group is their balance; the five starters all average between 10.7 and 13.6 PPG. The Gators have been on an absolute roll having won 15 straight by an average of 16.4 PPG.

Right behind the Gators are the 5th ranked UNC Tar Heels at 9-2. The Heels (21-3, 7-2) are absolutely loaded with top notch talent and are as deep as any team in the country.
