Twins remain hot, sink Mariners

Baseball Betting Lines

07/30/2010 - Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jim Thome and Alexi Casilla both clubbed a two-run homer, as the streaking Minnesota Twins beat Seattle, 5-3, in the opener of a three-game series at Target Field.

J.J. Hardy had two hits and scored two runs for the Twins, who have won a season-high six in a row but still remain 1 1/2 games behind first-place Chicago in the AL Central standings.

Minnesota's Scott Baker (9-9) gave up three runs on seven hits and walked four over 5 1/3 innings. New Twins closer Matt Capps, acquired from Washington on Thursday for two minor leaguers, pitched the ninth to earn the save in his debut.

Josh Wilson had a two-run double for Seattle, which had been swept in a four- game series by the White Sox in Chicago. Doug Fister (3-7) surrendered five runs -- two earned -- on five hits in five innings to absorb the loss. The towering right-hander hasn't won since May 14, a span of 10 starts.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.

Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season.  Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money. 

This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy.  A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
