Golf Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - Winnipeg, MB (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Vince Covello posted his second consecutive five-under 66 on Friday and moved in front after two rounds of The Players Cup.

Covello finished 36 holes at 10-under 132 and is three strokes ahead at Pine Ridge Golf Club.

First-round leader Aaron Goldberg carded a one-under 70 in round two and fell to second at minus-seven.

Brady Stockton (70) and Jose de Jesus Rodriguez (66) are knotted in third place at six-under 136.

Covello began on the 10th tee Friday and broke into red figures right away with a birdie at 10. He added another birdie at the par-five 12th, but that was the last positive for some time.

Covello, 27, parred his next six holes, but bogeyed back-to-back holes at one and two. He atoned for the miscues with four consecutive birdies from the third, starting with a 20-footer at No. 3, to reach nine-under par.

"That (birdie on three) really got me going," acknowledged Covello. "You just have to keep going, you never know what's going to happen. It's a great track and there are birdie chances out there. You just have to take advantage of them."

He got to 10-under par at the par-five eighth. Covello, who finished third earlier this year, birdied the hole and will take a three-shot lead into the weekend in search of his first win on the Canadian Tour.

"My game has been pretty good, but I've just had a tough time putting it all together," he said. "You need to keep a good attitude when you're trying to get out of a funk, which I've done. I'm just trying to limit my mistakes."

Brock Mackenzie (71), Danny Sahl (68), Alan McLean (68), Richard Lee (66) and Johnny Bloomfield (71) are knotted in fifth place at five-under 137.

NOTES: Mackenzie tops the tour's money list...2009 champion Graham DeLaet is playing on the PGA Tour this season...The 36-hole cut fell at two-over 144 and Andy Matthews, who won this year's Mexican PGA Championship, made it on the number.

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).
