Dickey remains unbeaten as Mets blank Tigers

Baseball Betting Lines

06/23/2010 - Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - R.A. Dickey tossed eight scoreless innings en route to improving his career-high winning streak to six games, as the red-hot New York Mets handled the Detroit Tigers, 5-0, in the second test of a three- game set at Citi Field.

Dickey (6-0) gave up just four hits to become the first Mets starter to win his first six decisions with the team. The 35-year-old knuckleballer also fanned four batters and walked two.

Jose Reyes went 3-for-4 and finished a double shy of the cycle for New York, which has won two in a row and 14 of its past 17 games. Ike Davis knocked in two runs.

Jeremy Bonderman (3-5) went six-plus innings, allowing four runs on seven hits to take the loss. The right-hander fell to 1-3 in the month of June for the Tigers, who have lost three of four since a seven-game winning streak.

The Tigers loaded the bases with two outs in the top of the first on a pair of walks and an single. Dickey, though, got out of the jam by retiring Carlos Guillen on a grounder to second.

New York also had a chance to score in the bottom half of the frame. Reyes was left stranded after starting the inning with a triple.

After Detroit left a runner on third in the top of the third, the Mets plated the first run of the game in the bottom half. Reyes hit a two-out single, stole second, and crossed the plate on David Wright's double down the left- field line.

Reyes made it a 2-0 contest with a solo homer to right in the fifth.

New York added three runs in the seventh to build a 5-0 margin. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Reyes stepped to the plate needing a double to complete the cycle. However, he hit a grounder to second baseman Guillen, who threw home for the force out. Pinch-hitter Jesus Feliciano plated a run with a groundout. Davis added a two-run single two batters later.

Francisco Rodriguez tossed a scoreless ninth to seal the win for the Mets.

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.
