Yankees and Astros finalize deal for Berkman
Baseball Betting Lines
07/31/2010 -
St. Petersburg, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees and Houston Astros
have finalized a trade for first baseman Lance Berkman.
Berkman and cash considerations will head to the Yankees in exchange for
pitcher Mark Melancon and minor league infielder Jimmy Paredes.
The 34-year-old Berkman had spent his entire career with the Astros and this
season was batting just .245 with 13 homers and 49 runs batted in through 85
games. He began this season on the disabled list after undergoing arthroscopic
surgery on his left knee on March 13 to remove loose cartilage.
A Texas native who went to college at Rice University in Houston, Berkman had
to waive his no-trade clause to accept the deal. He is expected to see most of
his playing time as the designated hitter for the Yankees, while also spelling
Mark Teixeira at first base.
The five-time All-Star is in the final year of a six-year contract and has a
salary of $14.5 million this season. His deal has a $15 million club option
for 2011 with a buyout of $2 million.
Over 12 major league seasons, Berkman is a .296 hitter with a .410 on-base
percentage, 326 homers and 1,090 RBI.
It is the second major trade for the Astros this week, as the club sent ace

NFL Football Betting : Odds on NFL Division to Win the Super Bowl
NFL Super Bowl Betting
The AFC South and the NFC East are the favorite divisions to have the next Super Bowl champ among them in the NFL betting odds. But more down to the point, these football odds are in favor of the Indianapolis Colts, by far the strongest team in the AFC South, and the Dallas Cowboys of the NFC East.
Most sports fans would agree that these two teams top the list to win it all before the season even begins. In the BetUS Sportsbook football futures, the Colts are +800 in the odds to win the Super Bowl, while the Cowboys are sitting at +1000 and the Super Bowl XLIV champions New Orleans Saints at +900. In the AFC South, the Colts won the division for five straight years after the 2002 realignment, before the Tennessee Titans won it in 2008. But the Colts came back strong in 2009 to win the division again en route to the Super Bowl. The Cowboys are the favorite to win the NFC East, as well as to advance far into the post season. The Cowboys won the division last season before their horrendous loss in the NFC Divisional playoff to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings. But the ‘Boys will take that loss humbly and be ready for the playoffs this time around.
The NFC South is also very strong, at +600 in the NFL futures, considering that it is home to the defending Super Bowl champions. However, some predictions have the Atlanta Falcons with possibilities of claiming the divisional title this season in place of the Saints, as no team has won back-to-back division championships since the division realignment took place. Let’s not overlook the AFC North at +500. As TO goes to Cincinnati to join Chad OchoCinco and Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, this team looks to claim the division title again. And it is likely they will do so. The Bengals lost in the AFC Wild Card spot in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets last season. Lest not forget the Pittsburgh Steelers, the XLII Super Bowl Champions… All these teams present interesting odds and matchups for the upcoming season, but the safest and surest bet seems to be with the Colts in the AFC South and the Cowboys in the NFC East. Play this weekly NFL Football Contestto see if you can win.
