Blue Jays shoot for third straight win against A'sBaseball Betting Lines05/01/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Blue Jays aim for their third consecutive victory against the struggling Oakland Athletics in the third of four games at Rogers Centre. Toronto made it two straight on Friday, as Alex Gonzalez smacked a pair of home runs in a 10-2 rout. Vernon Wells went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer for the Blue Jays, who won the series opener, 6-3, on Thursday to snap a five-game skid. John Buck, coming off a three-homer game, went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored. Brandon Morrow (2-2) was solid in six frames, allowing two runs on seven hits. He also tied a career high with nine strikeouts and walked two to improve to 3-0 in 18 career appearances (four starts) against the A's. "I had a good slider again tonight and that was really the key," Morrow said. Cliff Pennington knocked in a run and scored for the Athletics, who have dropped six in a row on the road. Kevin Kouzmanoff drove in the other run for Oakland. Dana Eveland will get the ball for the Blue Jays this afternoon, and he carries a 2-0 record and 4.57 ERA into the clash. Eveland certainly has room for improvement despite the unblemished record, as he has allowed 24 hits and 10 walks through 21 2/3 innings of action. On Monday, Eveland was fortunate to get a no-decision after he allowed seven earned runs on eight hits in only three innings against Boston. A lefty, Eveland has never faced Oakland, a team he pitched for from 2008-09. On the bump for the Athletics today will be Gio Gonzalez, who is 2-1 with a 3.68 ERA through four starts. Gonzalez was most recently in action on Sunday when he pitched brilliantly, throwing seven scoreless innings against Cleveland en route to victory. Gonzalez allowed only five hits in that tilt. The Oakland lefty has only faced Toronto once in his career and allowed four earned runs in six innings of a loss. Oakland has lost its last four games to fall to 12-12 overall, but that mark is still good for a first-place tie with the Angels atop the AL West standings. As for Toronto, it is also 12-12, placing the team third in the AL East. Toronto is 14-3 in its last 17 against the A's and has won eight of its last nine against them at Rogers Centre.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting OddsSuper Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Super Bowl XLIII is now set, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers will meet each other on February 1st in Tampa's Raymond James Stadium to battle it out for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The game kicks off at 6:00pm ET on NBC with announcers Al Michaels and John Madden covering the on-field action. Super Bowl XLIII betting odds at online bookmaker MySportsbook.com have the Steelers listed as an early -6.5 against the spread favorite.Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset. The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown. The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns. Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
