07/05/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The American League West-leading Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will play the middle contest of a three-game weekend set against the Toronto Blue Jays this evening at Angel Stadium.
Although John Lackey has only pitched in nine games for the Angels this season, he has certainly made the most of those appearances. Lackey is 6-1 with a 1.44 ERA. He has surrendered only 48 hits and 13 walks in 68 2/3 innings and nearly pitched a complete game shutout against the Dodgers on Sunday.
Lackey is 1-0 versus Toronto in two appearances this season, surrendering just two earned runs in 15 innings. He is 3-2 lifetime versus the Jays.
It certainly comes as no surprise that Roy Halladay has been outstanding for the Blue Jays this season. The stud righty is 9-6 with a stellar 2.90 ERA. On Monday, he pitched a shutout against the Mariners on the road, permitting only four hits with no walks. He has a 1.99 ERA in his last three games.
Halladay is 5-5 lifetime against the Angels with a rather high 4.80 ERA. He is making his first start against the club this season.
Yesterday, Howie Kendrick finished 2-for-4 and drove in three runs as Los Angeles drubbed Toronto, 8-2. Garret Anderson went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and a pair of runs scored for the Angels, winners in three straight and four of five.
Torii Hunter homered and scored twice while Gary Matthews Jr. and Maicer Izturis also knocked in runs for the victors.
Jered Weaver (8-8) evened his record by allowing only two runs on six hits with six strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings.
Joe Inglett and Alex Rios knocked in a run each for the Blue Jays, who have lost three in a row. A.J. Burnett (8-8) was rocked in the loss for 12 hits and eight runs -- six earned -- over seven full frames.
Anaheim has won five of its seven 2008 meetings with Toronto and took two of three matchups with the Jays at Angel Stadium from May 30-June 1.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
