Holiday Cheer for Brewers: Suppan signed
Baseball Betting Lines
12/24/2006 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers bolstered their rotation by coming to terms with free agent Jeff Suppan on a four-year deal with a club option for a fifth season. The contract is pending completion of a physical.
Suppan, the MVP of this year's National League Championship Series, went 12-7 with a 4.12 ERA for the Cardinals in 32 regular season starts. The right- hander was 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA in two games against the New York Mets in the NLCS, as the Cardinals eventually won the World Series.
"With 44 wins in the last three seasons, Jeff is not only a proven winner, he is also one of the most durable pitchers in baseball," Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said. "This agreement makes us feel very good about the depth of our rotation. Jeff's experience and durability should have a positive influence on our entire pitching staff."
The 31-year-old Suppan has made at least 31 regular-season starts in each of his last eight seasons and averaged 193 innings pitched in that time. He owns a career record of 106-101 with a 4.60 ERA in 317 games (301 starts), having also pitched for Boston (1995-97, 2003), Arizona (1998), Kansas City (1998-2002) and Pittsburgh (2003).
Suppan will join a Brewers starting rotation that includes lefty Chris Capuano, and right-handers Ben Sheets, Dave Bush and Claudio Vargas.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009
Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
