Montero stays hot as Sounders down Earthquakes

Soccer Betting Lines

08/01/2010 - Santa Clara, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fredy Montero headed home the lone goal of the game in the 26th minute as Seattle Sounders FC handed the San Jose Earthquakes a 1-0 defeat at Buck Shaw Stadium on Saturday.

Montero continued his good run of form on Saturday as he scored his fourth goal to go along with five assists in the last eight games, while Seattle has started to find its form as well, winning its third straight match.

The Earthquakes managed to put just one shot on goal over the course of 90 minutes, and they saw their four-game unbeaten run come to an end.

Seattle nearly took the lead inside of 10 minutes when a right-wing cross from Sanna Nyassi was headed on goal from a few yards out by Montero. However, Earthquakes goalkeeper Jon Busch reacted well and got enough of the ball to tip it off the crossbar and keep it out.

Nyassi and Montero teamed up again midway through the first half with Nyassi providing another good cross that Montero got his head to. But this time Busch was unable to keep out the close-range header, giving Montero his seventh goal of the season.

Some good goalkeeping from Busch was all that prevented San Jose from going down two goals in the 63rd minute as he got enough of a low shot from Blaise Nkufo to tip it past the post.

The home side failed to test Seattle goalkeeper Kasey Keller, but he was nearly beaten four minutes from time as Sam Cronin teed up a shot 30 yards from goal that beat Keller but whistled inches past the right post.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
