Prado, Braves rough up Hamels, PhilliesBaseball Betting Lines07/01/2009 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Martin Prado was at it again, scoring three runs and driving in two more runs after a four-RBI evening on Tuesday, as Atlanta poured it on Philadelphia, 11-1, at Turner Field. Gregor Blanco scored twice, Chipper Jones drove in three runs, Brian McCann knocked in two and Matt Diaz hit a two-run home run for Atlanta, winners of three straight. Jair Jurrjens (6-6), who suffered from a lack of run support in June, turned over to a new month by coming within eight outs of a no- hitter. Paul Bako broke up the no-hitter with two outs in the seventh, slicing a single into right field. Jurrjens finished the frame, allowing one run on just the one hit to go along with six strikeouts and four walks. Cole Hamels (4-5) continued a frustrating campaign, surrendering seven runs on nine hits with two walks and one strikeout over four-plus frames. Last season's World Series MVP has given up 11 earned runs over his last 8 2/3 frames. Greg Dobbs drove in the lone Phillies run with a sacrifice fly, and Jimmy Rollins is now hitless in his last 27 official at-bats. The Phillies have lost the first two games of this series and now sit just a half-game in front of fast-charging Florida in the mediocre National League East. Hamels was hurt by the bottom of the order in the third and the two men who have suddenly found their strokes in this series -- Blanco and Prado. The pitcher Jurrjens blooped a single to right with one out, then Blanco hit a ball that deflected off Hamels' leg for an infield base hit. Prado followed with a sharp double past Dobbs in left, scoring both runners. Jones continued the onslaught with a base hit to center, scoring Prado for the 3-0 lead. The Phillies got one back without a hit in the fourth, as Jayson Werth walked with one out, moved up two bases on a wild pickoff throw from Jurrjens and scored on Dobbs' sacrifice fly to left. Atlanta opened the floodgates in a sixth-run fifth. Blanco and Prado were at it again with a walk and single, and Jones doubled them both home with a sinking liner into open space in left-center field. McCann then roped an RBI single to right, ending Hamels night in favor of Tyler Walker. He fared no better, giving up a two-run opposite field homer to Diaz and the first career home run for Diory Hernandez, whose shot made the score 9-1. The Braves added two more in the eighth on run-scoring singles by pinch-hitter Yunel Escobar and McCann, respectively. Game Notes Jurrjens had not won since May 29th, losing his last four decisions...Hamels has not posted a victory since June 4th...Rollins is now batting .205...Hamels' ERA now sits at 4.98...Attendance: 25,212.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team. Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team. "I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success." Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate. Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns. But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches. Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips. Here are the football odds as seen at MySportsbook.com and subject to change after February 10, 2007 if not locked in prior to that date.

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.
