Eveland pitches Jays to win over White Sox

Baseball Betting Lines

05/06/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dana Eveland hurled seven shutout frames and Fred Lewis drove home the run support necessary, as Toronto blanked the White Sox, 2-0, in the opener of a four-game set at U.S. Cellular Field.

Eveland (3-1) outpitched the red-hot John Danks (3-1), who lost his first game despite surrendering just two runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts and two walks over seven frames.

"We look like the weather in Chicago. Very good then very bad, very good then bad," said White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.

Eveland scattered just two hits and four walks, leading Toronto to a season- tying fifth straight victory. Vernon Wells went 2-for-4 and Lewis also had two hits and both RBI for Toronto.

Toronto posted all of the runs it needed in the fifth. John Buck slapped a one-out single and raced to third on Travis Snider's line-drive two-bagger to right. Lewis drove them both home with another double, this one past Alex Rios into no-man's land in center.

The White Sox brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth. Rios skied a shallow fly ball to right field, but the ball went off the glove of a diving Alex Gonzalez, leaving Rios at second with a double. Kevin Gregg bared down and got Alexei Ramirez to strike out swinging to nail down his second strikeout of the frame and his eighth save of the season.

Chicago's other big threat came in the third with runners on first and second and two outs. Rios popped up to first base to end that inning.

Game Notes

Eveland cut his earned run average to 3.82...Danks' ERA climbed to 1.98 in the loss...The Blue Jays also won five straight from April 7-11...Danks has not allowed more than two runs in any of his six starts...The former Toronto star Rios finished 1-for-4...Attendance was 20,106.

American Idol odds : Blake Lewis the Early Standout

An important American Idol betting lines recap from February 20 Guys episode. The 12 men came out flat overall with Blake Lewis appearing to have the early edge after the first hour and a half.

Rudy - was quite good singing "Free Ride" to start off.  Randy was not impressed though.  Paula thought he started off fantastic.  "Never had anyone stop off so lively" said Paula but Simon (who does not like Rudy) does not feel he has a distinct voice and was not impressed either. 

Brandon was a little pitchy according to Randy and Paula agreed.  Simon said he was a good singer but the song was "too safe" and he needs to make an impact.  He was listed at +1200 odds or $1200 paid out on a $100 bet should he win the competition. 

Big favorite Sundance came in with a flat version of "Knights in White Satin" and the judges let him have it, including Paula.  Randy claimed the song was out of pitch throughout.

Korean American - and a Jenny Woo favorite - Paul Kim was up next.  Another pitchy flat one but Randy said he still liked his potential.  Kim at +3000 odds was said to have sung a "third rate version of that (George Michael) song" according to Simon Cowell.  He sang "Careless Whisper".

22 year old Chris Richardson was up next.  He was listed with +1100 odds coming in.  He got the best response from the judges though Simon did not believe the vocal was that great. 

Nick was boring and pitchy.  Simon didn't think he was that bad though and predicted he would be back next week.  Nick Pedro was a big +3000 dog coming into this competition. 

Beat boxer Blake Lewis was listed with early +1000 odds or $1000 payout on a $100 bet if he were to become the next American Idol winner odds .  These of course were the early odds.  He was considered original for picking an "odd song".  He did not beat box and the judges felt it was the best vocal of the night. 

Sanjaya came in as the second biggest favorite after Chris Sligh but his performance Tuesday night was not very good. 

Chris Sleigh was the early favorite at +450 odds.  Great voice and a great sense of humor.  He's a real standout.  Randy felt it was on point but maybe ahead of the chorus a little bit.  Simon Cowell said he felt like he was in some "sort of weird student gig". 

Jared Cotter followed.  He was listed with +2000 odds early on to win the competition.  The judges felt he needs to take more risks but looked good. 

22-year old AJ Talbado, who has tried out for American Idol five times, was up next.  "Kind of a theme park performance" said Simon.  Though the judges felt he performed okay.  Simon did feel AJ might be better than he originally thought.

Phil - this season's military favorite - came into this competition with +1200 odds to win the competition.  He was the last to perform.  He was certainly strong enough to get through this stage of the competition and perhaps the best one after a shaky start. 

Tomorrow night, the ladies perform and I sure hope they do a better job than the boys.  Check out all the American Idol betting odds here.
