Baseball Betting Lines

07/31/2010 - Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jesus Feliciano tripled to deep right-center to open the ninth inning and scored the game-winning run on Carlos Beltran's sacrifice fly, as the Mets beat the Diamondbacks, 5-4.

David Wright went 2-for-4 with three RBI, while Angel Pagan had three hits and scored twice for New York, which lost of the opener of this three-game set on Friday, 9-6.

Francisco Rodriguez (4-2) threw a scoreless top of the ninth to get the win, the Mets' first in five games against Arizona this season.

Juan Gutierrez (0-6) was on the hill in the bottom half to take the loss, the club's eighth in nine game. Justin Upton knocked in three runs in defeat.

New York's Bobby Parnell started on the hill with a 2-1 lead in the seventh and loaded the bases on a pinch-hit double, single and walk. Upton, who in the third inning hit a sacrifice fly with the bases full, laced a double down the right-field line that plated Tony Abreu and Chris Young for a 3-2 Arizona edge.

Kelly Johnson then beat Ike Davis's throw home on Adam LaRoche's dribbler off Pedro Feliciano, who managed to keep it a two-run game from there.

Wright's two-run double off D.J. Carrasco in roughly the same spot as Upton's tied the game in the bottom half, and Beltran's fly to right in the ninth was plenty deep to plate Feliciano without a play at the plate to earn the win.

Mets starter Hisanori Takahashi lasted six innings and allowed just one run on seven hits and two walks while striking out 10. His counterpart, Barry Enright, also had a quality start, throwing six frames and yielding two runs on four hits and three walks.

Wright followed Upton's sac fly with a two-out, run-scoring single in the bottom of the third to tie the game.

Jose Reyes gave the Mets the lead in the fifth with an RBI hit to right.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl

NFL Super Bowl Betting

The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.

Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.

The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East.
