Humber Starts Pound Disable On Era

Joey Votto, the defending NL MVP, accounted for the only run for the Reds with his 12th home run of the season in the eighth inning. Votto finished with two hits, as did Rolen, but Cincy batters struck out 11 times and were just 1- for-13 with men in scoring position as they stranded a total of 12 base runners. Rolen, who is batting .256 this season, is one hit shy of 2,000 for his career.

 

Talbot, who has had some issues with his control so far this season, has a record of 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in his career versus the Reds.

 

In that matchup the California native allowed only four hits and a pair of walks, while striking out three through six innings of action to snap a personal two-game slide.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jason Marquis hasn't lost in over a month, and the Nationals hope to give the veteran right-hander plenty of run support today when Washington concludes a four-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Marquis is 2-0 over his last six appearances and hasn't lost since May 25 at Milwaukee. He is coming off a no-decision against the Angels on Tuesday, when he threw five-plus innings. The Nats have scored at least five runs in seven of his last 10 starts.

 

In 27 games (23 starts) over his career, Marquis is 12-6 with a 3.60 ERA when facing the Pirates.

 

The teams split a doubleheader yesterday. Ivan Rodriguez slapped a pinch-hit, RBI single in the eighth inning to lead the Nationals to a 4-3 win in the nightcap.

 

Later in the frame, with two down, Rodriguez fell behind 0-2, then fought off two fastballs before slicing a line drive to right, scoring Rick Ankiel.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

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).
