Bautista continues grand season, lifts Jays over Tribe
Baseball Betting Lines
07/30/2010 -
Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jose Bautista's grand slam and league-leading
31st home run highlighted a six-run fourth, as the Toronto Blue Jays won their
fourth straight with an 8-1 rout of the struggling Cleveland Indians at Rogers
Centre.
Bautista tied the club record with his 11th home run of July and finished with
three hits, as the Blue Jays snapped a four-game losing streak to Cleveland.
Fred Lewis also homered as part of the 14-hit attack, while Yunel Escobar and
Lyle Overbay both had multi-hit efforts.
Shaun Marcum (10-4) was dominant in the start, allowing just one run and three
hits while fanning a season-high 10 over seven frames.
Matt LaPorta's sacrifice fly was the only offense for the Indians, who have
lost three straight and six of seven. Justin Masterson (3-10) was pounded for
eight runs on a career-high 13 hits and two walks over only 5 1/3 innings to
take the loss.
The Blue Jays got the scoring started with Lewis' leadoff shot in the third,
then scored six times in the fourth to take control.
Aaron Hill and Lyle Overbay both singled to begin the big inning, and Edwin
Encarnacion's base hit with one away brought in Hill for a 2-0 edge. Lewis
singled to load the bases, and Escobar pushed a Masterson offering through the
infield's left side to plate another run and keep the bases loaded.
Bautista followed by launching a pitch into the seats in center for his third
career grand slam and a commanding seven-run advantage for Toronto.
The Indians could manage only LaPorta's sacrifice fly in the fifth, but were
answered when Escobar scampered home on a wild pitch in the sixth for an 8-1
margin, which held for the final score.
Game Notes

NFL Sports Betting
NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North.
Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash. NFL Betting
