08/26/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Edwin Jackson continued to shine in a White Sox uniform, leading Chicago to an 8-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Jackson, acquired from Arizona at the trade deadline, went eight shutout innings, allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out 10 -- his second consecutive 10-strikeout game. In four starts with Chicago, Jackson is 2-0 with a 0.96 earned run average.
Alex Rios went 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI for the White Sox, who have alternated wins and losses in their last eight games. Paul Konerko and Carlos Quentin both finished with two hits, an RBI and a run scored.
The White Sox remained 3 1/2 games behind Minnesota in the AL Central after the Twins beat the Rangers later Thursday.
Brian Roberts doubled for the Orioles, who are 1-10 in series rubber matches this season. Jake Arrieta (4-6) allowed four runs, seven hits and three walks in just four innings to take the loss.
The White Sox scored early and often, building a six-run lead by the end of the fifth.
Omar Vizquel walked with one down in the first inning and moved to second on Rios' walk. Two batters later, Quentin sent a two-out single to center to plate Vizquel.
In the third, Rios singled with one out, stole second and scored on Konerko's base hit. A.J. Pierzynski and Alexei Ramirez both hit consecutive two-out singles to plate Konerko for a 3-0 lead.
Juan Pierre reached base on a one-out bunt single in the fourth, went to second on an error, stole third and scored on Rios' two-out single to increase the lead. Mark Teahen's single and Gordon Beckham's double play groundout each plated a run in the fifth for a six-run margin.
Meanwhile, Jackson didn't allow a hit until the fourth and didn't allow more than one baserunner in any of his eight innings.
Rios' two-run homer in the eighth accounted for the final score.

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
