D'Backs vie for another win against MarlinsBaseball Betting Lines07/09/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona Diamondbacks try to make it two straight wins tonight when they host the Florida Marlins in game two of a four-game series at Chase Field. In Thursday's opener, Kelly Johnson went 4-for-5 and drove in three runs to lead Arizona to a 10-4 rout. Gerardo Parra also delivered four hits and scored twice for the Diamondbacks, who snapped a five-game skid. Rodrigo Lopez (5-7) gave up five hits and four runs - three earned - over seven innings to get the win in front of a franchise-record low 16,664 fans. Anibal Sanchez (7-6) lost his second consecutive start after yielding nine hits and six runs - five earned - over four-plus innings. Brett Hayes hit a two-run homer for Florida. On the mound tonight, Arizona staff ace Dan Haren aims for his first win since June 12. The 29-year-old Californian was 7-4 on the season after a 7-2 defeat of St. Louis, but has since gone 0-2 with a pair of no-decisions in four outings. He allowed just one run on six hits in seven innings on July 4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the Diamondbacks lost the game, 3-1. Haren is 1-2 in four career starts against Florida with a 2.86 earned run average in 28 1/3 innings. For the Marlins, fellow Californian Ricky Nolasco looks to push his personal win streak to four games. The 27-year-old right-hander has beaten Baltimore, the New York Mets and Atlanta in his last three starts, combining to surrender 18 hits and nine runs in 21 innings. He's pitched seven innings in each of the three wins, after lasting seven innings just four times in his initial 14 outings in 2010. Nolasco is 4-1 in five lifetime starts against Arizona with a 3.53 ERA. He is 5-2 this season in nine road starts. These two clubs split a quick two-game set in Florida on May 17-18 and Arizona has won seven of the last 11 meetings overall. The Marlins and Diamondbacks split four games at Chase Field last year.

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super BowlThe 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.
