Baseball Betting Lines

07/24/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brooks Conrad hit his second career grand slam during an eight-run eighth inning, as the Atlanta Braves rallied past the Florida Marlins, 10-5, in the second test of a three-game set between these two NL East rivals.

Martin Prado hit a solo homer for the Braves, who bounced back from a 7-6 loss in the opener of this series. Eric Hinske drove in two runs and scored once, while Jason Heyward had three hits and scored twice for the victors.

Jesse Chavez (2-1) tossed a perfect seventh to pick up the win.

Dan Uggla homered and knocked in three runs for the Marlins, who had a three- game winning streak snapped. Mike Stanton added a solo homer.

Trailing 5-2, Atlanta exploded for eight runs in the eighth. Taylor Tankersley started the inning on the mound for Florida. Heyward singled, Chipper Jones reached first on Jorge Cantu's throwing error, and Brian McCann was hit by a pitch to load the bases with nobody out.

Jhan Martinez (1-1) came in from the bullpen and walked Troy Glaus to force in a run. Hinske followed with a two-run single to right to tie the game. Burke Badenhop then took over for Martinez on the hill. Alex Gonzalez put down a bunt and catcher Ronny Paulino threw to third, but the runner was safe to load the bases. Two batters later, pinch-hitter Conrad drove the ball into the seats in right for a 9-5 lead. Jones knocked in another run later in the inning when he grounded into a fielder's choice.

Florida stranded the bases loaded in the ninth.

Prado's homer to left in the top of the first gave Atlanta the early lead. However, Florida plated a run of its own in the home half to tie the game. Chris Coghlan was hit by a pitch and Gaby Sanchez singled to put men on the corners with nobody out. After Hanley Ramirez struck out, Uggla drove in a run when he grounded out.

McCann's RBI single in the top of the third gave the Braves a 2-1 edge.

The Marlins, though, responded with three runs in the bottom of the third to go in front by two. Coghlan hit a one-out single and came around to score on Sanchez's double down the left-field line. Two batters later, Uggla smacked Kris Medlen's offering into the seats in left for a 4-2 advantage.

Atlanta put runners on the corners in the fifth, but McCann grounded into an inning-ending double play.

Stanton's homer to right in the sixth made it a 5-2 game.

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.
