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.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
