Yankees Nearly Gave Up On Acquiring Prado - RealGM Wiretap
Shortly before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline http://www.teamnflpackersstore.com/authe...rs-jersey/ , the New York Yankees nearly gave up on acquiring Martin Prado from the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Brian Cashman and Kevin Towers had discussed Prado for a few days. He is owed $22 million over the next two seasons.

The Diamondbacks were looking for a bigger haul in return than simply Pete O'Brien, the slugging minor league catcher. Towers proposed multi-player deals asking for various Yankee prospects Cashman wasn't willing to trade.

Cubs To Start Arrieta Shift Villanueva To Bullpen - RealGM Wiretap

The Chicago Cubs have moved Carlos Villanueva to the bullpen and promoted Jake Arrieta to start on Friday.

Chicago acquired Arrieta from the Baltimore Orioles on July 2.

"We want (pitching coach Chris) Bosio and (bullpen coach) Lester (Strode) to get a get a grip on (Arrieta)," Dale Sveum said. "We want him to pitch here and see what we got."

Chapman Celebrates Save With Somersaults - RealGM Wiretap Reds closer Aroldis Chapman rolled into a double somersault after closing out a win against the Brewers on Tuesday night. Before recording the save, the left-hander had blown two chances and had an 11.37 ERA over his last seven outings. Dusty Baker was not happy with his pitcher's celebration. "I know he was happy, especially after the bad week he had last week," said Baker, who saw Chapman's rolls on the jumbotron replay. "But that's something -- we don't play like that." Baker added that the coaching staff has addressed the issue. "I didn't see it," said Brewers right fielder Corey Hart. "I don't care." 锘? If you don鎶?know already, you could probably have guessed that the major
betting sports are football and basketball. Let鎶?turn our eyes to a betting sport that is
often overlooked but can be very valuable: baseball. There鎶?nothing better than kicking
back with a cold one, whether at home or at the stadium, and watching a ball game. It鎶?br > relaxing, enjoyable, and it can be (if done right), profitable.
Why bet on baseball? There are plenty of good reasons. Unlike other sports http://www.teamnflpackersstore.com/authe...rs-jersey/ , there
is baseball on practically every night during the late spring, all summer and into the
autumn. Not only does this make for more action, but it also minimizes the impact of
injuries. A baseball player can be sidelined for ten games and the team will barely miss a
beat. A long season gives you a chance to track a team鎶?progress and have a better
snapshot of where they are at any given time, and whereas one 鎼奻f?game in football
accounts for 1 16 of a season, an off game in baseball is barely a blip on the radar. A
poor performance in one game can completely alter a football team鎶?psyche, and raise
serious questions about their character, while for a baseball team, off nights in baseball
are expected and can often be predicted (the last game of a long road trip, the game after
an emotional win, etc).
Unlike other sports, there will be baseball games going on in the early afternoon,
mid afternoon, late afternoon, and into the evening http://www.teamnflpackersstore.com/authe...rs-jersey/ , depending on which time zone you
live in. It is not uncommon for guys to phone in a wager from work, and be sitting at their
desks constantly refreshing an online gamecast or listening to the radio with headphones.
In short, wagering on baseball can add excitement to almost any day, at almost any time
of that day.
There are plenty of financial reasons to bet baseball as well. Simply put, there is
no lower vig in sports. The dime line in baseball has to be the best deal in all of sports
wagering. Honestly, check it out. At GoSportsbet we offer the dime line for every
game (you risk $110 instead of $120 to win $100), and for day games that are shown on
ESPN, we offer a 5 cent line ?you risk just $105 to win $100. Whereas in other sports,
the house鎶?take is in the 4-5% range, with baseball, it is roughly 1-2%, which is really
incredible value. Finally, in what other sport can you, not the bookies http://www.teamnflpackersstore.com/authe...rs-jersey/ , impose conditions
on the bet? (For instance, which pitchers start.) Why would sportsbooks make all these
concessions, you ask? Because it鎶?the summer. There鎶?nothing else going on (unless
you count the WNBA). In order for the sportsbooks to get any business, it鎶?going to have
to be attractive to bettors.
Now that we鎶砮 established that baseball is often overlooked and has the potential
to be very lucrative, let鎶?look at how to approach a wager on baseball. It must be noted
that baseball is one of the most difficult sports to handicap accurately on a consistent
basis. Why? Simply because there is far less disparity between teams. The Phoenix Suns
won more than 75% of their games last season. The Pittsburgh Steelers lost one game out
of 16 for a 94% win percentage. Last season the St. Louis Cardinals won less than 65%
of their games but were the best team in baseball. Conversely, the worst team in baseball
still won 32% of their games, while the worst basketball and football teams won just 16%
and 12% of their games, respectively. Much closer competition means a much harder job
for handicappers.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to what one should emphasize
when analyzing baseball: pitching and hitting. Let鎶?begin by examining pitching.
Pitching is the only part of the game you can control. Because pitching match-ups are
posted well in advance, you know who will be on the mound for (hopefully) the majority
of the game. Having the most potent offence in the world doesn鎶?do you any good when
your pitching staff is letting the other team clobber hits all over the ballpark (for
reference, see 鎻nkees, The New York?. While a manager .
