Golf Betting Lines
08/20/2010 - Seaforth, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brady Stockton fired an eight-under 63 and Brian Prouty shot a 64 Friday to join Rob Grube in the lead after two rounds of the Seaforth Country Classic.
Grube, the 18-hole leader, had a 67 to end the day tied with Stockton and Prouty at 12-under 130.
Canada's Kent Eger, the 2008 champion, trailed the three Americans by a shot after carding a 64 to end 36 holes on the Seaforth course with an 11-under 131.
Another American, Tom Glissmeyer, shot a 61 to match the course record and move into fifth place at 10-under 132.
Sixteen more players were within five strokes of the co-leaders heading into the weekend at the final event prior to the Canadian Tour Championship.
Among them was American Aaron Goldberg, who has won the last two events on tour to become No. 1 on the money list. Goldberg shot a 66 and was four strokes back at eight-under 134.
Grube is the only co-leader with a victory on the Canadian Tour, having captured the Riviera Nayarit Classic in April for his first career win. He opened with a 63 for the 18-hole lead and followed that with a round that included an eagle, four birdies and two bogeys.
Stockton, who took second place at the Dakota Dunes Casino Open last month, rattled off nine birdies against just one bogey in the second round.
Prouty had six birdies and an eagle in his first 14 holes and didn't make a bogey until the 18th. He also posted a season-best finish at the Dakota Dunes event, tying for ninth place.
NOTES: Glissmeyer matched the 61 carded by Adam Bland in 2008...Defending champion Brian Unk is seven shots back at five-under par...The cut line fell at three-under 139 with 68 players moving on to the weekend.

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.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
Be sure to log onto online sports betting site MySportsbook.com to check out the odds for who will lead the MLB in home runs this season. Below is just a sample of the players listed. With the highest credit card rates in the industry, MySportsbook.com is the place to bet on baseball this summer.
