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.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
