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.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
