07/25/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - R.A. Dickey targets his first win in six starts this afternoon when the New York Mets wrap up what has been a disastrous road trip with the finale of their four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium.
The Mets have managed just two wins thus far on their season-high 11-game West Coast swing and are 3-11 in their last 14 overall to fall into third place in the National League East 7 1/2-games off the pace of the first place Atlanta Braves.
Offensively the Mets have been abysmal, hitting just .194 on the trek with 23 runs, while being shut out three times.
New York lost in dramatic fashion on Saturday, as James Loney hit the game- winning home run in the bottom of the 13th to lift Los Angeles to a 3-2 win.
George Sherrill (1-1) tossed a scoreless top half of the frame to earn the win for the Dodgers, who used nine pitchers to win for a third time in their last four tries.
Oliver Perez (0-4), who worked out of a jam in the 12th, suffered the loss after yielding the decisive run in one inning of work
Matt Kemp flied out to open the 13th before Loney blasted a 1-0 offering over the wall in right-center field for his seventh long ball of the year.
"It felt pretty good when I hit it," said Loney about his game-winner. "I said to myself if that doesn't go out, something's wrong. If you're going to play a long game like that, it always feels good when you win."
After becoming the first starter in team history to win his first six decisions, Dickey has lost his last four. He lost his third straight start on Tuesday in Arizona, surrendering three runs and seven hits in seven innings to fall to 6-4 on the year, while raising his earned run average to a still respectable 2.73.
This will be his first start against the Dodgers.
Los Angeles will counter with 22-year-old left-hander Clayton Kershaw, who is 9-5 with a 3.15 ERA. Kershaw did not get a decision on Tuesday against San Francisco, as he allowed four runs (two earned) and four hits in six innings before being ejected in his team's wild 7-5 loss.
Kershaw has faced the Mets twice and is 1-09 with a 3.72 ERA in those starts.
The Mets have lost 11 of 16 games in Hollywood since the 2007 season, but have won four of six from the Dodgers this season.

NFL betting action is back! At MySportsbook, all of the pro football odds are posted for the NFC North. Check out how we see the four teams in this cloudy division stacking up this year in the chase for the playoffs! Green Bay Packers (+125) - With QB Aaron Rodgers leading the offense and DC Dom Capers working his magic on defense, the Packers are a real force to be reckoned with.
Virtually nothing changed on this offense for Green Bay from last year to this year, save for the addition of rookie OT Brian Bulaga to the bunch. Expect more huge numbers from the Pack, and a relatively favorable schedule should get them over the hump and into the playoffs once again this season. My NFL Betting Predictions: 11-5, 1st place in NFC North Minnesota Vikings (+130) - There are still too many unknowns about the Vikes this year. There is a huge difference between QB Brett Favre and either Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels under center. Plus, is Favre comes back, is he really going to be able to keep his pick total under double digits again? Depth at running back looked like it might have been an issue with RB Chester Taylor fleeing in free agency, but drafting RB Toby Gerhart should pick up the difference. This defense is still suitable, but with a first place schedule, making the playoffs is going to be very tough regardless of whether #4 comes back or not.

Chicago Bears (+350) - The Bears are probably a bit of an overhyped team once again this year.No, we don't think it is plausible for QB Jay Cutler to have as bad of a season as he did last year, and we do think the additions of RB Chester Taylor and DE Julius Peppers are going to help immensely, but there's still something in the water in the Windy City that we aren't so sure about. Maybe Chicago finds its way to .500... but then again, maybe it doesn't. If Favre comes back, Cutler might be the worst quarterback in this division this year.
Detroit Lions (+1500) - The Lions are probably once again going to be the whipping boys for the rest of the teams in the NFC North, but they aren't just going to roll over and die once again. There is some real talent amassing on this team offensively, as the combination of QB Matt Stafford, RB Jahvid Best, WR Calvin Johnson, and TE Brandon Pettigrew should put a bunch of points on the board if the offensive line can even remotely hold up. The questions really lie on defense, where it feels like DT Ndamukong Suh is going to be trying to stop opposing teams all by himself. This year should show some marked improvement in the Motor City.
The Patriots will make NFL betting fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
