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.

NFL Football Sports Betting

Two playoff teams from 2007 take center stage on the NFL Network Sunday night in a Week 2 NFL betting match-up when the (0-1) New England Patriots betting head south to Florida for a contest with the (1-0) Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New England HC Bill Belichick couldn’t care less about the way his team plays in the preseason. With a chance to tie last week’s game with the Baltimore Ravens betting, He elected to go for the two-point conversion and outright victory. The conversion failed, and the Pats ended up falling to the Ravens by a 16-15 final count.

New England rolled off twelve unanswered points to give it a chance at securing the victory, but it never threatened to cover the 3.5-point spread. NFL bettors saw this one coming, as they bet the Ravens down from +6 to +3.5 as the week progressed. QB Tom Brady didn’t take part in the Patriots first preseason clash, but could see action this weekend.

His three replacements all put up embarrassing numbers. They went a combined 17 for 33, and threw three interceptions and no touchdowns. The New England defense was encouraging, as they held the Ravens to 2/12 third down conversions and surrendered just ten first downs. That ‘D’ should be bolstered with the addition of former Bucs and Denver Broncos betting safety John Lynch, who could make his Patriots debut on Sunday against his former mates.

HC Jon Gruden had to be impressed with the way his Bucs played on both sides of the ball in their dominating 17-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1’s NFL pre-season betting action. Bucs bettors were quite happy with the effort, as they made a mockery of the fact that they were underdogs in the game.

The logjam at the quarterback position didn’t get any easier to separate for Gruden, as all four of his QBs had positive experiences in the first exhibition of 2008. The four combined to complete 28 of their 40 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown, and that was without starting QB Jeff Garcia in the lineup.

RB Michael Bennett had 19 carries and four receptions, totaling 90 yards and a touchdown. Expect to see more of Bennett, Kenneth Darby, and Earnest Graham, as they all compete for playing time with Warrick Dunn in the backfield this season. Defensively, the Bucs recorded four sacks and held the Fins offense in check all day.

First round draft pick Aqib Talib was impressive in the secondary, recording a tackle and two pass defenses in his debut. Don’t be surprised to see Talib in the starting lineup opposite Ronde Barber for the Bucs in ’08.

The betting trends suggest that NFL bettors should be backing the Bucs in this intra-conference exhibition.

These two teams hooked up last year in Tampa Bay, with the Bucs winning that game 13-10. The Buccaneers have only lost one preseason game at home dating back to the beginning of the ’05 preseason. The Patriots have had a mixed bag of results in their recent exhibitions. They have gone 2-2 ATS and SU each of the last three years.

New England currently sits as modest 1-point favorites in this preseason showdown with the ‘total’ now sitting at 34.5.
