Martinez Adds World On Mets

Baseball Betting Lines

He played 116 games for Seattle's Triple-A Tacoma affiliate last year, batting .226 with 14 home runs and 77 RBI.

 

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.

 

In response, the Tigers moved quickly to add another power bat and signed free agent first baseman Prince Fielder.

 

Although he often struggled to live up to high expectations, Burrell was a member of the 2008 Phillies team that won the World Series and led the championship parade on a horse-drawn carriage.

 

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).

 

He joined the Braves' Bobby Cox, the Yankees' Joe Torre and current Phillies skipper Charlie Manuel as the only managers in the Division Series era to advance to back-to-back World Series.

2007 NFL Football Betting Preview


“You play to win the game!”

Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.

The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.

The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.

Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?

Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.

New York Giants betting lines

Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.

Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.

Dallas Cowboys betting lines

Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.

The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.

Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.

Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.

Oakland Raiders betting lines

This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.

First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”

The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason. 

Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
