Jays shoot for more success against O's

Baseball Betting Lines

07/17/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Blue Jays will try to continue their mastery of the Baltimore Orioles, as the clubs resume a three-game set tonight at Camden Yards.

The Blue Jays have won all seven meetings this season with Baltimore and that includes a 4-2 victory in last night's series opener.

Ricky Romero (7-6) tossed seven solid innings, allowing two earned runs and five hits for his first victory in exactly a month. He also fanned five batters and walked one for Toronto, which started a 10-game road trip on Friday.

Kevin Gregg tossed a perfect ninth to record his 21st save of the year.

Aaron Hill went 3-for-4 with a solo homer for the Blue Jays, who have won four of their past six games. Yunel Escobar went 1-for-4 with a walk in his Toronto debut. He was acquired from the Braves on Wednesday as part of a five-player deal that saw Alex Gonzalez go to Atlanta.

Julio Lugo had two hits and an RBI for the Orioles, who had a four-game winning streak snapped. Baltimore is now just 3-12 in the last 15 meetings versus Toronto.

Brad Bergesen (3-7) allowed four runs on nine hits in six innings to suffer another loss. The right-hander hasn't tasted victory since May 12 against Seattle.

Getting the nod for the Orioles tonight is Jeremy Guthrie, who is seeking his first win since May 25th. The right-hander is 0-6 with a 6.32 ERA over his last eight starts, allowing four earned runs in just 4 2/3 innings of a 6-4 win over Texas in his last outing on July 8th.

In 12 career starts against the Blue Jays, Guthrie is 2-5 with a 3.74 ERA. His current winless drought started against Toronto on May 30th, when he surrendered four earned runs and seven hits over six innings of a 6-1 setback.

Brandon Morrow will toe the rubber for Toronto and he is looking for his first road victory since September 12th. The hard throwing right-hander has really struggled away from home this season, going 0-5 with a 6.80 ERA in nine starts on the road.

In his last start, Morrow only lasted four innings, yielding five runs - four earned - and eight hits in the team's eventual 9-5 home win against Boston on July 10th.

Morrow's lone career start against Baltimore came on April 9th, when he permitted five earned runs over five innings. He walked five and did not receive a decision in Toronto's 7-6 triumph.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
