08/22/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Veteran right-hander Esteban Loaiza makes his 2007 season debut today, when the Oakland Athletics play the Toronto Blue Jays in the finale of a three-game series at Rogers Centre.
A 35-year-old native of Tijuana, Mexico, Loaiza was an 11-game winner with the Athletics last season, posting a 4.89 earned run average in 154 2/3 innings of work.
He has been sidelined through the initial portion of the schedule this year after suffering spasms in his right trapezius muscle. He eventually landed on the 60-day disabled list in late March.
Loaiza, who went 25-28 for the Blue Jays from 2000-2002, is 5-4 against Toronto in 13 games -- 11 starts -- with a 3.84 ERA.
Righty A.J. Burnett goes for a third straight victory for the Blue Jays Wednesday afternoon.
The 30-year-old allowed three hits and two runs over 6 1/3 innings in a 5-2 defeat of Baltimore on August 17, five days after giving up three hits and a run in a 4-1 triumph at Kansas City.
The wins came after a stint on the disabled list with a sore shoulder.
He defeated the Athletics in his lone career start against them, allowing nine hits and three runs over 6 2/3 innings.
On Tuesday, Dan Johnson drove in a pair of runs as Oakland edged Toronto, 6-4.
Johnson finished 2-for-5 for the Athletics, who won their third straight game and for the seventh time in nine tries. Jeff DaVanon and Kurt Suzuki each had an RBI apiece.
Dan Haren (14-4) surrendered four runs on six hits in six innings. The Oakland ace didn't walk a batter and struck out nine en route to tying his career-high with his 14th win of the season. Huston Street earned his 12th save of the season with a scoreless ninth.
Frank Thomas blasted two solo homers for the Blue Jays, who have lost three of four games. Vernon Wells added a two-run shot.
Dustin McGowan allowed three runs on five hits in five innings. The right- hander walked four and fanned seven in the game.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
