07/19/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Toronto Blue Jays try to make it four straight wins when they open a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals this evening at Kauffman Stadium.
The Jays battered the woeful Baltimore Orioles this past weekend, taking all three games of the set at Camden Yards and outscoring the O's, 17-5.
On Sunday, Yunel Escobar hit his first-career grand slam as the Blue Jays dominated Baltimore, 10-1. Escobar, who was acquired from the Braves on Wednesday as part of a five-player deal, went 3-for-4 with five RBI and two runs scored for the Blue Jays, who have taken all nine matchups with Baltimore this year.
John Buck had three hits, drove in two runs, and scored once for the Blue Jays, who have homered in a season-high 11 straight games. They lead the majors with 140 home runs.
Shaun Marcum (8-4), who was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the game, gave up one run on nine hits in a five-inning start. The right- hander also fanned four batters and walked zero in the victory.
The Blue Jays will try to stay hot tonight behind the left arm of Brett Cecil, who is 8-5 with a 3.97 ERA. Cecil won his final start before the break, holding the Minnesota Twins to a run and four hits in seven innings on July 8.
Cecil has never faced the Royals.
Hoping to slow down the Jays' power bats tonight will be righty Kyle Davies, who is 4-6 with a 5.57 ERA but winless in his last seven outings. Davies did not get a decision on July 7 in Seattle, as the Mariners managed three runs and four hits in six innings of KC's 7-3 win.
Davies lost to the Jays back on April 20 and is 1-2 lifetime against them with a 5.03 ERA in three starts.
Kansas City enters tonight's opener having lost six straight following a three-game sweep at the hands of the Oakland Athletics that culminated with a 9-6 setback on Sunday.
Brian Bannister (7-8) went 6 1/3 frames in the start for Kansas City, giving up five runs on six hits. He also walked a season-high six batters and struck out two in the loss.
"I was about 12 strikes short of where I needed to be today out there," Bannister said afterward. "I couldn't get them to chase. The pitches weren't good pitches or they were good pitches and they just didn't swing. I got behind way too much."
Kansas City, which scored in only four of its 27 innings against the A's, is now 18-24 at home on the year, the second-worst mark in the league behind the Orioles.
Toronto took two of three from the Royals earlier in the season.

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets
With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
