Blanco's HR in 11th gives Mets second straight late-inning win

Baseball Betting Lines

05/08/2010 - Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henry Blanco's first home run as a Met gave New York a 5-4 win over San Francisco in 11 innings, the club's ninth consecutive win at Citi Field.

Blanco ended 3-for-5 in place of starter Rod Barajas, whose home run in the bottom of the ninth Friday handed New York a 6-4 win in the series opener. Barajas sat out Saturday's game with an injury to his left index finger.

Jason Bay and Angel Pagan each drove in two runs for the Mets, who are riding the franchise's longest home winning streak since an 11-game tear at Shea Stadium from August 5-24, 2006.

Johan Santana was charged with four runs on eight hits with six strikeouts against zero walks in 7 2/3 innings of work. It was the longest outing by a Mets starter this season and was a noted improvement on Sunday's dreadful performance in which the two-time AL Cy Young winner was battered for 10 runs in just 3 2/3 innings against the Phillies.

Hisanori Takahashi (3-1) was credited with the win after tossing a spotless top half of the 11th.

Aubrey Huff had two RBI for the Giants, who entered this weekend series coming off a three-game road sweep of the Marlins. Juan Uribe and Pablo Sandoval also knocked in a run, while Guillermo Mota (0-1) took the loss.

Todd Wellemeyer was touched for four runs on three hits and five walks in a 4 1/3-inning start.

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.
