Mets place Pagan on DL, shuffle up roster

Baseball Betting Lines

05/13/2008 - Flushing, NY (Baseball Betting) - The ailing New York Mets shook up their roster on Tuesday, making six moves, including placing outfielder Angel Pagan on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder injury.

The Mets also designated struggling pitchers Jorge Sosa and Nelson Figueroa for assignment, activated pitcher Matt Wise from the 15-day disabled list and recalled pitcher Claudio Vargas and infielder Fernando Tatis from Triple-A New Orleans.

Figueroa was 2-3 with a 5.12 earned run average in nine games -- six starts -- for the Mets this season, his first in the majors since 2004. Sosa owned a 4-1 record in 20 relief appearances, but had a 7.06 ERA and allowed 30 hits in 21 2/3 innings.

Wise has appeared in two games for the Mets this season, going 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA, while Vargas -- who was signed to a minor league contract this offseason -- was 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA in two starts with New Orleans.

Tatis, who has not played in the majors since 2006 was hitting .242 with 12 home runs and 31 runs batted in through 37 games at Triple-A. Tatis owns a piece of major league history, as on April 23, 1999, he became the first and only player in major league history to hit two grand slams in an inning.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
