Moss and Vazquez lead Pirates over MarlinsBaseball Betting Lines07/03/2009 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brandon Moss and Ramon Vazquez hit early home runs, and the Pittsburgh Pirates shut down Hanley Ramirez, on the way to a 7-4 win over the Florida Marlins in the opener of a three-game series. Charlie Morton (1-1) pitched six shutout innings to get the victory, as the Pirates snapped a two-game skid but moved to 4-0 against the Marlins this season. Moss, Vazquez and Jack Wilson each had two RBI in the win. Chris Volstad (5-8) was saddled with the loss after surrendering three hits and four runs over three innings. He's dropped five of his last six decisions. John Baker smacked a two-run homer and had three RBI for the Marlins, who were coming off a three-game sweep of the Nationals, but fell a game behind the Phillies for first place in the tight NL East. Ramirez came into the game having driven in at least one run in 10 straight contests, extending his club record, but he finished 0-for-4 Friday. The streak by Ramirez was the longest for a shortstop since Carlos Guillen had an 11-game surge for the 2007 Tigers. It was also the longest streak ever for a National League shortstop, since RBI became an official statistic in 1920. Moss homered to right field in the first inning and Vazquez added a two-run shot in the second Andrew McCutchen scored on a Moss fielder's choice in the third and the game went into a 44-minute delay in the bottom half. The Pirates then exploded for three runs in the seventh for a 7-0 cushion. McCutchen doubled in a run and scored on Wilson's two-run double to left. Baker doubled in a run in the bottom half and scored on pinch-hitter Ross Gload's single. Baker's two-run homer off Jeff Karstens in the ninth accounted for the final margin. Game Notes The game was delayed twice for a total of 75 minutes due to inclement weather...The Pirates snapped a four-game road losing streak. Pittsburgh came into Friday night's play 0-5-1 in its last six series on the road since taking three of four games from the Washington Nationals from May 18-21.

Super Bowl XLIV OddsSuper 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.
