Baseball Betting Lines

05/31/2010 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rajai Davis finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored and swiped two bases as Oakland downed Detroit, 4-1, in the finale of a four-game set from Comerica Park.

Daric Barton, Ryan Sweeney and Kevin Kouzmanoff each knocked in a run for the Athletics, who took three of four in the set and have won eight of 10 overall.

Trevor Cahill (4-2) turned in 6 1/3 innings for the win, scattering five hits and a run while striking out three. Andrew Bailey notched the final four outs to earn his 11th save.

Austin Jackson drove in the lone run for the Tigers, who have dropped five of six. Justin Verlander (5-4) was charged in the loss with six hits and three runs and fanned eight over seven full frames.

The start of the game was delayed for two hours, 42 minutes due to rain, but Oakland didn't seem affected by the delay. Barton's RBI double and Kurt Suzuki's run-scoring double-play grounder gave the visitors an early edge.

Suzuki led off the seventh with a double, and two batters later a Kouzmanoff single made it 3-0 for the A's.

Bandon Inge singled with one down in the seventh, went to second when Ramon Santiago singled off Jerry Blevins, then scored on Jackson's two-out pinch-hit single.

However, in the eighth, Davis set up Oakland's fourth run by singling then stealing second and third. Barton walked, and Sweeney plated Davis with a fielder's choice grounder.

Michael Wuertz and Bailey combined to hold the Tigers off in the home half, then Bailey worked around a walk to Santiago by fanning Jackson swinging to end the contest.

Detroit had swept Oakland in its last visit to Michigan, in a three-game set from May 15-17, 2009...Both clubs are in action on Tuesday, with the A's beginning a three-game series in Boston and the Tigers remaining home to host Cleveland.

Football Betting Sportsbook Accepts Credit Cards

Michael Vick is back, Brett Favre isn't and the NFC East remains the best division in the NFC, maybe in all of football.

As players start to gather for the start of another season, some things change and some stay the same in the world of the NFL.

Bet 2010 Super Bowl Odds

The NFC East has been the dominant division in the National Conference for a while, despite limited playoff success, save for the New York Giants surprise Super Bowl win two seasons ago.

Hell, there's a generation of kids in Texas who have never seen the Cowboys win a playoff game (last win was in 1996).

But collectively, the Giants, Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins (well, maybe not so much the Redskins) are as good as a division gets in an NFC conference that has struggled to stay competitive with the AFC side.

Sports bettors have both acknowledged the NFC East's dominance, as one glance at the NFL future odds menu will show.

Looking over the NFL betting odds at online sports book MySportsbook.com we see the top three teams listed to win the NFC Championship are all from the NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys - 7 - 1

Philadelphia Eagles - 13 - 2

New York Giants - 9 - 2

Slotting in behind these three are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (15-2) and the Chicago Bears (10-1).

Again, despite the lack of recent playoff success, the Dallas Cowboys are popular with the sports betting community, as they hold 14% of all the money wagered on who will win the NFC Championship.

So far, the New York Giants are the bettors' favorite to represent their conference in the Super Bowl, as they have 24% of the overall NFC Championship betting volume.

And what about the Philadelphia Eagles? For the most part, the Eagles had a very productive offseason, the kind that could bring them back to the top.

They had a good draft adding the likes of WR Jeremy Maclin and RB LeSean McCoy.

Unfortunately, the team received a blow when long-time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson passed away on Tuesday.

But this team will make a real run at the division title this year. Going into the regular season, Philly is listed at +240 to win the division.

Last season the Eagles were 9-6-1 SU and 10-6 ATS.

Teams from the NFC East will play teams from the AFC West in the regular season and the Eagles haven't really been a good bet in the last 20 games against the likes of San Diego, Oakland, K.C. and Denver, only going 8-12 ATS.

Two seasons removed from that Super Bowl title, the New York Giants see themselves listed as the odds-on favorite in NFC East championship futures at +162.

Plaxico Burress is gone and with him all the bad publicity surrounding the gun in the sweatpants incident, but can they replace him in the offense?

Last season the Giants were a very reliable bet going 12-4 ATS.

In the Giants' last 20 games against fellow teams from the NFC East; they are 13-7 ATS.

Dallas is listed at +240 to win the division.

Dallas went 9-7 SU and 7-9 ATS last season and with the amount of talent the Cowboys have, a similar performance won't do.

The Cowboys have been atrocious against divisional rivals, going 6-14 ATS in their last 20.

The Washington Redskins are longshots to win the division at +550.
