Athletics come to terms with Gaudin

Baseball Betting Lines

03/29/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Athletics came to terms with right-hander Chad Gaudin on Sunday, just three days after he was let go by the New York Yankees.

New York is still on the hook for 25-percent of his $2.95 million salary, meaning they will pay him $737,500.

Gaudin, who turned 27 on Wednesday, had been one of five pitchers vying for the fifth starter spot with the Yankees, but quickly fell out of the race, as he allowed 10 runs -- nine earned -- in 9 1/3 innings.

Acquired by the Yankees last August from San Diego, Gaudin combined to go 6-10 with a 4.64 earned run average in 31 appearances, including 25 starts, last season.

Over parts of seven seasons in the majors, Gaudin has compiled a 34-35 record with a 4.50 ERA in 216 games (75 starts) for the Rays, Blue Jays, A's, Cubs, Padres and Yankees. He pitched for Oakland from 2006-08 before being traded to the Cubs.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup

September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com.  The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans. 

Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to  name a  few.  Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR.  They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.

The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer.  Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
