Brewers make numerous roster moves

Baseball Betting Lines

06/04/2010 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers made a number of roster moves on Friday, including reinstating infielder Mat Gamel from the 60-day disabled list.

Gamel has not played a game in the majors this season due to an upper back injury sustained in spring training. He was optioned to Triple-A Nashville.

Pitcher Claudio Vargas, who was designated for assignment last weekend, was granted his unconditional release. The right-hander was 1-0 with a 7.32 ERA in 17 relief appearances for Milwaukee this season.

In another roster move, right-hand pitcher Marco Estrada was placed on the 15-day disabled list with shoulder fatigue. He was optioned to Nashville on Tuesday, but Major League rules state that you can't option down injured players.

In seven games (one start) this year, Estrada had no record and a 9.53 ERA.

Super Bowl XLIV Odds

Super Bowl XLIII isn't even a week old yet and oddsmakers have already released Super Bowl XLIV odds.

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers winning Super Bowl 43, the New England Patriots are 8/1 favorites to win Super Bowl 44.

Bet Super Bowl XLIV Future Odds

With their 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers became the latest NFL champion. But believe it or not, oddsmakers from online sports book MySportsbook.com don't have the Steelers the favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV next season.

That honor belongs to the New England Patriots, who are 8/1 favorites to win despite not even qualify for the postseason in 2008. The Pats also have a major decision to make regarding what to do with Matt Cassel, who played well in Tom Brady's (knee surgery) absence last year but is also a free agent this offseason.

Ironically, the Steelers aren't even oddsmakers second choice to win Super Bowl 44, as the Dallas Cowboys are listed right behind the Patriots at 9/1 despite not making the playoffs themselves. Clearly oddsmakers think the public will hop back on the Cowboys' bandwagon considering the immense talent they have and the opening of a brand new stadium.

After Dallas, then comes Pittsburgh at 10/1, but they share those odds with the New York Giants, who won Super Bowl XLII. The Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers round out the top six teams at 12/1, while the Baltimore Ravens (14/1), Tennessee Titans (16/1), Carolina Panthers (18/1) and Philadelphia Eagles (18/1) complete the top 10.

The NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals got no love from oddsmakers as they were established as a 30/1 long shot to win next year's Super Bowl. They share those same odds with the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers – two teams that didn't even qualify for the postseason. Other long shots are the Kansas City Chiefs (100/1), Detroit Lions (100/1), St. Louis Rams (75/1) and Oakland Raiders (75/1).
