Baseball Betting Lines

02/10/2012 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Indians avoided arbitration with shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, signing him to a one-year contract on Friday.

No financial terms were released, but the Plain Dealer reported it is worth $4.55 million.

Cabrera hit .273 while posting career highs in home runs (25), RBI (92) and games played (151), while tying a career best with 17 stolen bases and adding 32 doubles in 2011. His 25 round-trippers also stands as a new club record for shortstops -- eclipsing Jhonny Peralta's previous high of 24 back in 2005 -- and the 92 runs batted in led all American Leaguers at his position.

Over five major-league seasons, all with Cleveland, the native of Venezuela is a .281 hitter with 43 homers, 119 doubles and 258 RBI in 538 games.

Matt Kenseth And Kevin Harvick Favorites To Take NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship

(September 15)—The NASCAR season has hit the homestretch with the opening event on this year’s Chase for the Cup taking place this weekend at the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire International Speedway. With 10 races remaining to determine the Cup Series champion, leading online sportsbook MySportsbook.com today announced odds on all 10 Chase qualifying drivers capturing the NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship.

One of the largest sportsbook sites on the Internet, MySportsbook.com currently lists the top two drivers in the point standings as the early favorites to win the Nextel Cup. Entering the Chase for the Cup with a slim five-point lead in the point standings, 2003 NASCAR champ Matt Kenseth has been made a slight favorite to win his second Cup at 7/2 betting odds. 2001 Cup Rookie of the Year Kevin Harvick has betting odds listed at 5/2 and four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon is listed at 6/1 to capture the Nextel Cup this year.

Hoping to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father who won six NASCAR titles, Dale Earnhardt Jr. stands at 8/1 to breakthrough with his first Cup victory. Staying with the family theme, MySportsbook.com lists 2005 Rookie of the Year Kyle Busch at 14/1 to succeed big brother Kurt’s 2004 NASCAR title. While Kasey Kahne was the final driver to qualify for the Chase with a third place finish last week, the oddsmakers give him a fighting chance at 10/1 mainly due to several mile-and-a-half tracks remaining on the schedule. Despite going winless on the NASCAR circuit this season, Jeff Burton enters the Chase at 5/1 to capture the Cup title. Meanwhile, rookie Denny Hamlin is 4/1 to win the championship, while veteran driver Mark Martin enters the Chase for the Cup as a 15/1 long shot to win his first NASCAR title in his 24th and final season.
