Baseball Betting Lines

Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Mets signed free agent infielder Matt Tuiasosopo on Friday. Tuiasosopo, 25, played sparingly in three major league seasons for the Seattle Mariners between 2008-10 and hit .176 with 15 runs batted in over 71 games.

 

Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Detroit Tigers announced Monday that Victor Martinez underwent left knee surgery last Friday. Martinez suffered a torn ACL during his offseason conditioning and last week had a number of initial procedures. He had microfracture surgery, as well as operations to repair both the medial and lateral meniscus in the knee.

 

The Tigers expect Martinez to be sidelined for the entire 2012 season.

 

(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pat Burrell is retiring after a 12-year major league career, according to multiple reports. Burrell spent the majority of his career with the Philadelphia Phillies, who selected him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 1998 draft, and also played for the Tampa Bay Rays and San Francisco Giants.

 

He joined Tampa Bay the next year and batted just .221, then was released early in the 2010 season. Burrell signed with San Francisco and experienced a resurgence of sorts, clubbing 18 homers and driving in 51 runs with a .266 batting average. He went on to win a second World Series title with the Giants.

 

The former Miami-Florida star hit .253 with 292 home runs, 299 doubles and 976 RBI in 1,640 major league games.

 

Burrell finished his career with more World Series rings (two) than hits in the Fall Classic (1-for-27).

 

Washington, 59, led the Rangers to consecutive World Series appearances in the last two seasons and has been their manager for 18 of the 19 all-time playoff wins in team history.

 

He has compiled a 427-383 (.527) record in his five seasons with Texas -- the highest winning percentage ever by a Rangers manager with a minimum of two full seasons.

Chiefs' Treen Green out for Sunday's game

How long Trent Green will remain sidelined is unknown. Coach Herm Edwards said Monday he will miss a second straight start Sunday when the Chiefs host the San Francisco 49ers.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Green was going into a feet-first hook slide when he was knocked unconscious by a thunderous, head-snapping hit from Cincinnati's Robert Geathers.

Oddsmakers at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com currently have the Chiefs listed as 7-point favorites versus the 49ers.

The 49ers got beat by Philadelphia 38-24 as a 6.5-point underdog last week. The combined score went OVER the posted over/under total (42.5).

Alex Smith completed 27-of-46 passes for 293 yards with a touchdown. Michael Robinson rushed for 29 yards and a pair of touchdowns on five carries.

The Chiefs lost 9-6 to Denver last week as an 11-point underdog. The combined score was well UNDER the posted over/under total (38).

Larry Johnson rushed for 126 yards on 27 carries. Damon Huard completed 17-of-23 passes for 133 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. 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. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title.
