Wednesday July 12, 2006

Baseball fans looking the hedge their bets on the 77th Annual All-Star Game need to look no further than Bodog Casino, recently dubbed the world's "most successful gambl?ng website" by ABC's Nightline. Offering standard lines in addition to the largest slate of new and innovative proposition wagers and odds, Bodog.com is the destination for sports fans looking to add even more excitement to the Midsummer Classic.

Currently, Bodog.com has the American League listed as favorites (-156) and the Over/Under set at 10.5 runs for the game at Pittsburgh's PNC Park Tuesday night.

"The All-Star Game is a celebration of the first half of the year's great performances," says Calvin Ayre, Founder and CEO of Bodog.com. "The game highlights the talent and skill of so many players that may not have been given the chance to shine on the national stage otherwise."

One of the players Ayre might be referring to is fellow Canadian Jason Bay, who will be representing the hometown Pirates on Tuesday. The Trail, British Columbia native is making his second All-Star appearance and will start in leftfield for the National League. Bay's selection marks the first time in 13 years that a Pirate has been named to the starting lineup.

Detroit Tigers ace Kenny Rogers (11-3, 3.82) will be the starting pitcher for the American League, while Brad Penny (10-2, 2.91) of the Los Angeles Dodgers takes the hill for the National League.
