Marlins hang on to beat Giants
Baseball Betting Lines
07/27/2010 -
San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Dan Uggla and Mike Stanton homered to
back the strong pitching of Ricky Nolasco, as Florida held on for a 4-3 win
over the San Francisco Giants to open a four-game set.
Nolasco (11-7) allowed four hits, a run, walked a batter and had seven
strikeouts to win for the sixth time in his last seven starts.
Stanton drove in two and Leo Nunez surrendered a run in the ninth, but left
the potential tying tally at third for his 24th save, as the Marlins posted
their eighth win in 10 games.
Barry Zito (8-6) permitted eight hits and three runs over 6 1/3 innings and
suffered his first career loss when facing Florida. Zito, who had been 5-0 in
six starts vs. the Marlins, had three strikeouts.
Aaron Rowand belted a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the seventh inning, but the
Giants had a four-game winning streak broken and lost for just the fourth time
in their last 19 contests. Buster Posey extended his hitting streak to 19
games, the second-longest by a rookie in San Francisco-era history behind Hall
of Famer Willie McCovey's 22-gamer in 1959.
Uggla homered to left in the fourth inning and Stanton hit Zito's first pitch
of the fifth over the wall in left-center. It became 3-0 in the sixth when
Uggla scored on a Cody Ross sacrifice fly on a nice sliding catch by Andres
Torres in right-center field.
Pat Burrell walked with one out in the seventh. Rowand, pinch-hitting for
Travis Ishikawa, sent Taylor Tankersley's 0-1 pitch over the wall in left
field. Emilio Bonifacio jumped at the fence, but the ball was caught by fan
with a glove at the top of the wall. Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez argued
that the fan interfered, but after umpires went into the clubhouse for a
replay, the evidence wasn't strong enough to overturn the home run call.
Ross scored on Stanton's double to center in the eighth and Nunez survived the
ninth. Rowand and Freddy Sanchez singled to start the frame. Pinch-hitter
Ryan Rohlinger put down a successful sacrifice bunt, and one run scored on
Torres' groundout. First baseman Gaby Sanchez knocked down the ball on a
diving stop and flipped to Nunez for the out. Edgar Renteria struck out to end
the game and had to be thrown out at first base by catcher Ronny Paulino.

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. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
