06/19/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jake Peavy had his best outing in a Chicago White Sox uniform, as the right-hander tossed the fourth shutout of his career in a slim 1-0 victory over the Washington Nationals.
Peavy (6-5), whose earned-run average is still a robust 5.07, retired 20 straight hitters going into the ninth and survived a leadoff walk in the final frame to pick up his first shutout since August 23, 2005.
The former National League Cy Young Award winner allowed just three hits and two walks while fanning seven for the Sox, winners of five straight and nine of 10 overall.
Carlos Quentin drove in Omar Vizquel for the game's lone run.
J.D. Martin (0-3), in his fourth start since being recalled to the majors, was the hard luck loser, giving up one run on eight hits with no walks and six strikeouts through six innings in Washington's fifth straight loss.
The Sox got the only run they needed in the fourth, when Vizquel led off with a single, moved to second on a groundout and came home on Quentin's two-out base hit to left.
The Nationals had their first two hitters of the game reach on singles, but Peavy got out of the inning unscatched by striking out Ryan Zimmerman and getting consecutive flyouts from Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham.
Peavy cruised after Roger Bernadina's one-out single in the second, retiring the side in order for six straight innings.
A 10-pitch eighth upped his workload to just 88 pitches heading to the ninth. Nyjer Morgan worked a walk to open the final frame and was sacrificed over to second.
Zimmerman, though, struck out for the fourth time, and Josh Willingham popped out to second after Adam Dunn was intentionally walked to put the go-ahead run on first.
Game Notes
Peavy has made 17 starts with Chicago since being acquired in a trade with San Diego last year. He has eight career complete games...Nationals manager Jim Riggleman was ejected by home plate umpire Sam Holbrook in the eighth inning...A.J. Pierzynski had three of Chicago's nine hits...Sean Burnett, Miguel Bastista and Tyler Walker each threw a scoreless inning of relief for the Nationals...Chicago goes for the three-game interleague sweep on Sunday with Freddy Garcia on the mound opposite Washington's John Lannan.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.
Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.
Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds
With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.
That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.
Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.
After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.
The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
To see a complete list of all the team's odds to win Super Bowl XLIV, check below.
