04/23/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox target their sixth straight win this evening when they begin a brief two-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox enter this series after sweeping a three-game set from the New York Yankees over the weekend, culminating with a 7-6 win in Sunday's finale. Mike Lowell hit one of four consecutive Boston homers in the third inning and belted the go-ahead three-run blast in the seventh.
Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Lowell and Jason Varitek all hit solo shots in the third off Chase Wright, with the four consecutive homers equaling a major league record.
Daisuke Matsuzaka (2-2), pitching against the Yankees for the first time in his career, struck out seven over seven-plus frames, but gave up eight hits and six runs, as Boston won for the eighth time in its last nine games.
Heading to the hill tonight for the Red Sox will be veteran knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, who is 2-1 with a 1.35 earned run average. Wakefield won his second straight start in his last outing on Wednesday against Toronto, as he allowed a run on four hits in seven innings.
Wakefield, who has allowed one run in each of his first three starts, is 13-8 lifetime against the Blue Jays with a save and a 3.85 ERA in 41 games, 31 of which have been starts.
Toronto will counter with right-hander Tomo Ohka, who is winless in three starts this season. Ohka was on the losing end to Wakefield and the Red Sox last Wednesday, as he surrendered four runs and four hits in 6 1/3 innings to fall to 0-2 on the year.
Ohka, who is pitching to a 7.02 ERA this season, will be facing Boston for just the second time in his career. He broke into the majors with the Red Sox back in 1999.
Toronto enters this series after getting swept in a weekend set by the Baltimore Orioles, including a 7-3 setback in Sunday's finale. Alex Rios was 2-for-5 with a pair of runs driven in for the Blue Jays, who have lost five straight.
Gustavo Chacin (2-1) completed only 4 1/3 innings, but took the loss by yielding five hits and six runs -- all earned -- with a pair of walks and one strikeout.
Boston took two of three from the Blue Jays last week, but is just 16-24 in the series since the start of the 2005 campaign. Toronto has also won 10 of its last 18 in Beantown.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
Just because it is the All-Star break doesn’t mean that you can’t bet on NBA hoops this weekend. Be sure to log onto MySportsbook.com to bet on who you think will cut down the nets this July. Also, be sure to check out all of the lines and props for All-Star weekend. With the highest credit card acceptance rate in the industry, there are plenty of ways to cash in on the NBA this weekend.
