Callaspo's hit lifts Royals over Blue Jays in 10

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.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
