A-Rod's hit in ninth lifts Yankees over MarinersBaseball Betting Lines07/09/2010 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Rodriguez plated Derek Jeter and Nick Swisher with a seeing-eye single to right in the ninth inning, sending the Yankees to a 3-1 victory over the Mariners. David Aardsma (0-6) yielded a one-out walk to Jeter, who moved to third on Swisher's double to right. After Mark Teixeira fouled out to the catcher, Rodriguez stepped in and dribbled an 0-1 fastball through the right side of the infield. Jeter scored easily and Swisher slid in safely in front of Ichiro Suzuki's throw home. The rally made of a winner of Andy Pettitte (11-2), who only gave up one run on five hits and four walks while fanning nine of eight innings of work. Mariano Rivera, who earlier in the week announced he will not pitch in the All-Star game because of nagging injuries, closed out New York's sixth straight win with a 1-2-3 ninth for his 20th save of the season. Swisher, who on Thursday became the final American League All-Star as chosen by fan voting, went 4-for-4 with two doubles and a walk in the win. Suzuki had two of Seattle's five hits, as the hosts dropped their fourth straight and seventh in eight games overall. Mariners starter Jason Vargas was charged with one run on nine hits and two walks in seven-plus solid innings. The Yankees had runners on base in each inning, but it was the Mariners that broke the scoreless tie in the sixth. Josh Wilson and Michael Saunders each singled to open the frame, and Suzuki laid down a bunt just in front of the plate that Pettitte fielded and threw away, allowing Wilson to score. Pettitte wound up getting out of a bases-loaded jam later in the frame by striking out Russell Branyan and Jose Lopez. Vargas was pulled after putting the first two hitters on in the eighth. Brian Sweeney came in and his wild pitch allowed Rodriguez to advance to third, proving vital as Jorge Posada's double-play grounder scored the tying run. Game Notes Pettitte has won six of his last seven decisions and lowered his earned-run average to 2.70. The veteran lefty improved to 11-11 in 23 career starts against the Mariners...Rodriguez's hit in the ninth was the only hit for the Yankees in 11 opportunities with runners in scoring position. They stranded 12...Curtis Granderson had three hits in the win.

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.
