Nix homered to left to lead off the fourth, getting Chicago on the scoreboard, and the White Sox held on to the lead thanks to Buehrle.

Also, Buehrle was perfect in the fourth and sixth, and Chicago added another run in the seventh. Thome led off with a double and Paul Konerko followed with a single to put runners on the corners. Chen was lifted in favor of Ron Mahay who got A.J. Pierzynski to ground into a double play. Thome scored on the play to make it a 2-0 game. Buehrle worked a 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh, and the White Sox went up 3-0 in the eighth. Scott Podsednik's single plated Brian Anderson, who reached on a walk and went to second on a wild pitch. After Buehrle again was perfect in the home eighth, Josh Fields scored on Gordon Beckham's RBI groundout in the top of the ninth to push Chicago's lead to four.

Buehrle was taken out for Jenks, who got the next two batters out to end the game. Game Notes Chicago's previous season-high win streak was four games (May 29-June 1)...Mark Teahen had two hits for the Royals...Konerko had two hits for the White Sox...Chicago has won 13 of its last 17 overall, and 12 of its last 15 as the visitor.

With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship. One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL linesNow that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow. Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season. Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints. These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order. As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS. The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens. The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers. MySportsbook.com Week 1 odds: Saints +6 @ Colts -6 Falcons @ Vikings (pick ‘em) Panthers @ Rams (pick ‘em) Broncos -3.5 @ Bills +3.5 Chiefs -1 @ Texans +1 Dolphins +3 @ Redskins -3 Patriots -5 @ Jets +5 Eagles -3.5 @ Packers +3.5 Steelers -4 @ Browns +4 Titans +6 @ Jaguars -6 Bears +6 @ Chargers -6 Lions +3 @ Raiders -3 Bucs +6.5 @ Seahawks -6.5 Giants +4 @ Cowboys -4 Ravens +3 @ Bengals -3 Cardinals +3 @ 49ers -3 Super Bowl line (2008) NFC +6.5 vs. AFC -6.5 MySportsbook is a large, publicly traded company with strong financial backing.
