Yankees place Chamberlain on DL
Baseball Betting Lines
08/07/2008 -
Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees placed star pitcher
Joba Chamberlain on the 15-day disabled list with a stiff right shoulder
Wednesday.
Chamberlain underwent an MRI on the shoulder on Tuesday in New York, but the
Yankees have not announced what that exam showed, only revealing that
Chamberlain was scheduled to travel to Birmingham, Alabama to receive a second
opinion from renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.
The 22-year-old right-hander was removed from his last start on Monday against
the Texas Rangers in the fifth inning with stiffness in the shoulder.
After Texas' Marlon Byrd singled with two outs in the bottom of the fifth, New
York manager Joe Girardi and trainer Steve Donohue came out to check on
Chamberlain, who pointed to his right shoulder. The 22-year-old could not
continue and was lifted for Edwar Ramirez.
Chamberlain gave up five runs on eight hits before exiting. It was the
worst outing for Chamberlain since being inserted into the Yankees rotation in
early June as he had not allowed more than three runs in any of his previous
starts.
To replace Chamberlain on the roster, the Yankees recalled reliever Chris
Britton from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
New York is also expected to recall starter Ian Kennedy in time to start
Friday's game in Anaheim.

MySportsbook.com betting odds favor Europe in 2007 Ryder Cup
September 19, 2007 – 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 betting odds on the 2007 Ryder Cup 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.
