Baseball Betting Lines

07/26/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jose Bautista hit a three-run homer and Aaron Hill added a two-run shot and knocked in three, as the Toronto Blue Jays earned a 9-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the first of a three-game set at Rogers Centre.

Adam Lind went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and finished a triple shy of the cycle for Toronto, which has won 10 straight against Baltimore and three of the last four overall.

It was a happy 26th birthday for Blue Jays starter Brandon Morrow (7-6), who earned the win for throwing six solid innings. The right-hander yielded two runs on five hits with four walks and fanned six. David Purcey picked up his first career save for retiring the last four batters.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
