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.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
