Baseball Betting Lines

06/19/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Last year's National League All-Star starter Brad Penny takes another step toward another berth on the mound in the Midsummer Classic tonight, when the Los Angeles Dodgers visit Rogers Centre to open a three-game interleague series with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Penny, who was 10-2 at the time of the All-Star Game last year, earned his eighth win of 2007 on Wednesday, when he allowed seven hits and a run in seven innings while topping the New York Mets, 9-1.

He's unbeaten in five starts since a May 18 loss to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, having given up 31 hits and just six runs in 34 innings following his only defeat of the season.

Penny got a no decision against Toronto on June 8, allowing five hits and a run in 7 2/3 innings. He is 1-0 with a 4.24 earned run average in three career starts against the Blue Jays.

Toronto's Dustin McGowan faced the Dodgers in that June 8 matchup and also got a no decision after allowing four hits and two runs in seven innings.

The 25-year-old Georgia native will go opposite Penny again tonight and is unbeaten in three home starts this season, with a 3.98 earned run average over 20 1/3 innings.

McGowan downed San Francisco on Wednesday, winning a 7-4 verdict after scattering seven hits and two runs in six innings.

On Sunday in Toronto, Ryan Zimmerman homered to help the Washington Nationals avoid a three-game series sweep by edging the Blue Jays, 4-2.

Toronto's Frank Thomas made some history in defeat, hitting his 244th home run as a designated hitter to surpass Edgar Martinez on the all-time list. He now has 496 career home runs after going deep in the third inning.

Josh Towers (2-5) absorbed the loss after giving up four runs on seven hits for Toronto, which had a three-game winning streak halted.

In Los Angeles, Howie Kendrick went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI and two runs scored as the Angels pounded the Dodgers, 10-4, in Sunday's finale of the Freeway Series.

Nomar Garciaparra went 3-for-4 with three RBI for the Dodgers. Starter Randy Wolf (8-5) got the loss after being charged with four runs on seven hits in five innings of action.

Los Angeles has lost two straight following a four-game win streak and enters tonight's play 1 1/2 games behind first-place San Diego in the NL West standings.

The Dodgers and Blue Jays met in early June, with Toronto winning two of three in LA. The Blue Jays also won two of three at home versus the Dodgers in 2004.
