08/14/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim target their fourth straight win this evening when they open a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre.
Los Angeles, which will be starting a seven-game road trip tonight, enters this series on the heels of sweeping the Minnesota Twins over the weekend, outscoring them 20-6 and improving their major league best home record to 40-17. The Angels have won six of seven, 12 of their last 17 and still hold a three-game edge on the Seattle Mariners in the AL West.
As good as the Angels have been at home, they have struggled away from the friendly confines of Angel Stadium this season, going just 29-30 on the road. They, along with the Milwaukee Brewers, are the only division leaders with a losing record on the road.
Hoping to reverse that trend tonight will be 26-year-old left-hander Joe Saunders, who is 6-0 with a 3.46 earned run average. Saunders' most recent win came last Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox, as he allowed four runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Saunders has faced the Jays just twice in his career, going 1-0 against them with a sparkling 1.80 ERA.
The Blue Jays will counter with ace right-hander Roy Halladay, who is an impressive 9-1 in 12 home starts this season. Halladay won his second straight start at Rogers Centre on Wednesday against the New York Yankees, as he surrendered four runs and six hits in seven innings to run his record to 13-5 on the year to go along with a 4.17 ERA.
Halladay is 4-4 lifetime against the Angels with a 5.48 ERA in 11 starts.
Toronto enters this series after splitting a four-game set with the Kansas City Royals, dropping Monday's finale 6-2 at Kauffman Stadium. Alex Rios and Curtis Thigpen each knocked in a run for the Blue Jays, who lost for only the fourth time in their last six tries.
Jesse Litsch (4-5) was tagged for five runs -- two earned -- on six hits over 6 2/3 innings.
This is the first time these teams have played this season, but Toronto won the season series 6-4 last year and is 16-9 in the matchup since the start of the 2004 campaign. The Angels have also struggled north of the border, where they have won in just one of their last seven visits.

The Indianapolis Colts know that winning the Super Bowl last season put a huge target on their backs, and they expect opponents to go all-out to knock them from the top of the mountain.
They’ll get their first test from the New Orleans Saints this Thursday night. The defending champs had nothing but good things to say about the New Orleans defense this past week, praising their opponents’ pass rush and run-stopping abilities.
"They play very aggressively," head coach Tony Dungy told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "They play a lot of man-to-man coverage, and they come after you. They have good pass rushers, and they're going to try to pressure us, I'm sure."
Both center Jeff Saturday and quarterback Peyton Manning gave New Orleans’ front four props, admitting keeping guys like Will Smithand Charles Grant contained would be a tall task for the offensive line.
New Orleans ranked second in total defense during the preseason at a sportsbook, allowing just under 233 yards per game. Last season, the defense finished 11th in the league after giving up 307.3 yards and 20.1 points per contest.
Not so sound on the ground
If Indianapolis' efficient offense has a weakness it has to be its running attack. The Colts one-two-punch of Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai is no longer, leaving the bulk of the carries to Addai, the second-year back out of LSU.
Former Saskatchewan Roughrider Kenton Keith was named Addai’s backup this week after beating out DeDe Dorsey for the second-string position. Indy has only three backs on the roster right now, including fullback Luke Lawton, and coach Dungy is aware of the thinness of his ground game. Sports Betting lines on the game can be found at BettingExpress.com
“We’ll continue to look. Luke Lawton’s done a good job for us too. So probably getting a third true tailback is something that we’d like to do,” Dungy told the Indiana Tribune-Star.
Last season, Addai rushed for over 1,000 yards in his rookie campaign and scored seven touchdowns on the ground.
Brees says bring it on
Opening the season on the road against the defending Super Bowl champions is not the way most teams would like to kick off their year – unless you’re the New Orleans Saints or their quarterback Drew Brees. This internet Sportsbooks had the Saints as the favorites.
Brees told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that he is excited to get the regular season started and the Colts are a great challenge for him and his teammates. The 28-year-old QB, entering his second season with the Saints, is expecting a wild environment in the RCA Dome this Thursday when the franchise celebrates its 2007-2007 championship.
Brees said he sees the opening game scheduling as an honor and a testament to how well New Orleans did last season. The Saints missed facing the Colts in the Super Bowl by one game, losing to the Chicago Bearsin the NFC Championship game.
"I mean, people think we can hang with these guys," Brees told reporters. "Even if they didn't, it wouldn't matter what they thought because as a team we're very confident. We know what we can do. We're not satisfied where we finished the season last year. And we've been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time."
SportsBooks ready for a shootout
Oddsmakers are preparing for some fireworks this Thursday when the NFL season kicks off. online Sportsbooks have Thursday’s total set at a whopping 52 points, accounting for two of the league’s most explosive offenses.
“This is like must-see TV,” Saints cornerback and former Colt Jason David told the Baton Rouge Advocate. “It’s two exciting offenses with great players. You’ve got a lot of star power on offense. At any given time a big play can happen. If I was a fan, I wouldn’t miss a snap.”
New Orleans, who ranked No.1 in total offense last season, can go blow-for-blow with the Colts’ attack. Head coach Sean Payton’s offensive schemes will get even better production out of Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and receiver Marques Colston now that they’ve each had a season of playing together under their belts.
The Saints and Colts were the top two passing teams in the NFL last year, but while Indianapolis managed to put up almost 27 points per game, New Orleans struggled to capitalize on their efforts. The Saints ranked fifth in points per game.
“Yards are great,” running backDeuce McAllister told reporters, “but to be able to score more touchdowns would be important for us.”
