Baseball Betting Lines

Starting in the American League's infield is Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila, Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and the Yankees' Robinson Cano, Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez -- second base, shortstop and third base, respectively.

 

Selected as bench players for the AL were: catchers Russell Martin of the Yankees and Matt Wieters of the Orioles, infielders Adrian Beltre of the Rangers, Asdrubal Cabrera of the Indians, Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers and Howie Kendrick of the Angels, outfielders Michael Cuddyer of the Twins, Jacoby Ellsbury of the Red Sox, Matt Joyce of the Rays and Carlos Quentin of the White Sox and designated hitter Michael Young of the Rangers.

 

Reigning AL Cy Young award winner Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners highlights the AL pitching staff. Other starters for the squad will be Josh Beckett of the Red Sox, Gio Gonzalez of the Athletics, David Price and James Shields of the Rays, Justin Verlander of the Tigers, Jered Weaver of the Angels and C.J. Wilson of the Rangers. The bullpen consists of the Royals' Aaron Crow, Seattle's Brandon League, Cleveland's Chris Perez, New York's Mariano Rivera and Detroit's Jose Valverde.

 

The American League candidates are Alex Gordon of the Royals, Adam Jones of the Orioles, Paul Konerko of the White Sox, Victor Martinez of the Tigers and Ben Zobrist of the Rays.

 

The lead lasted all of five pitches, as Thames took the first pitch he saw over the center-field wall to tie the game prior to Bautista crushing his league-leading 27th home run of the season into the second deck in left.

 

Three batters later Encarnacion added a two-run blast off Lee (9-6), who was charged with seven runs -- six earned -- in 7 1/3 innings. The lefty entered the contest on a 32-inning scoreless streak.

 

Jimmy Rollins had a two-run single in defeat, Philadelphia's second in seven games.

 

Shane Victorino started the rally with a one-out ground-rule double and scored on Ben Francisco's base hit up the middle. After a Domonic Brown single, Carlos Ruiz one-hopped the wall in right-center for a ground-rule double to score Francisco, and Rollins chased home two with an opposite-field hit to right.
