Hartman earns MLS Player of the Month for AugustSoccer Betting Lines09/01/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - FC Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman was voted Major League Soccer's Player of the Month for August, it was announced on Wednesday. Hartman led Dallas to an undefeated record in the month while posting two clean-sheets and allowing just two goals in four MLS games. The 36-year-old is 9-1-7 this season with a league-low 0.65 goals-against average, including seven shutouts. This is Hartman's first season with Dallas after joining the Texas club just before training camp when he was unable to come to terms with Kansas City, where he had started every game over the previous three seasons. The 13-year MLS veteran came into a sticky situation, where the 35-year-old Dario Sala had been the starter for four seasons, earned his spot as the No. 1 after just two games, and hasn't looked back since. "What Kevin brings is his communication and leadership from the goalkeeper position, which is outstanding," Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman told The Sportsbook Betting Lines last week. "We have players who are in the right position because Kevin is giving them the direction. That's something we weren't maybe getting from Dario." The MLS Player of the Month award is selected each month by the North American Soccer Reporters. The group consists of members of online, print, television, radio media. More information can be found at soccerreporters.com. 2010 MLS Player of the Month winners: April: Edson Buddle (Los Angeles Galaxy) May: Alvaro Saborio (Real Salt Lake) June: Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake) July: Fredy Montero (Seattle Sounders) August: Kevin Hartman (FC Dallas)

Football Betting LinesThe 2009 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year odds have been released and Denver Broncos' running back Knowshon Moreno has been made the opening favorite. Moreno was selected in the first round of April's NFL draft and is expected to carry the rushing load for the Broncos this season. And with Jay Cutler now in Chicago, Moreno might be expected to be Denver's entire offense. Betting Lines from sports betting lines have made Moreno a 5/2 favorite to win this year's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Fellow running back Chris “Beanie” Wells (Arizona Cardinals) is right behind Moreno at 7/2, while Donald Brown (Indianapolis Colts) and receiver Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers) are 5/1 to win. Quarterbacks Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) are 7/1 and 8/1, respectively. A couple of players who present some value are Josh Freeman, Shonn Green and Darrius Heyward-Bey. Freeman needs to beat out Byron Leftwich to become the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but if he does, he has a lot or raw talent and could use the weapons around him (i.e. Kellen Winslow Jr. and Antonio Bryant) to be very successful in his first season. Green enters a crowded backfield in New York, but considering both Thomas Jones and Leon Washington are unhappy about their contract situations and might holdout, the former Iowa product could become the Jets' primary back. Everyone was shocked when Al Davis took Heyward-Bey with the eighth overall pick in April's draft, but the kid has a tremendous amount of talent and if quarterback JaMarcus Russell takes the next step this year, the former Maryland product could blossom. Plus, Heyward-Bey will be looking to prove the people wrong who said Oakland should have taken Michael Crabtree with the No. 8 pick. And if you're looking for a deep sleeper, check out Pat White at 30/1. He enters the Miami Dolphins vaunted “Wild Cat” offense and could be a big time playmaker.
