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.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
