Yankees send Montero to M's for Pineda
Baseball Betting Lines
01/23/2012 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The trade between the New York Yankees and the Seattle Mariners involving young hurler Michael Pineda and blue-chip prospect Jesus Montero became official Monday.
The Yankees acquired the 6-foot-7 Pineda and right-hander Jose Campos from the Mariners for Montero, a highly-touted catching prospect, and righty Hector Noesi.
Pineda, who turned 23 last week, made the All-Star team as a rookie last year and finished the 2011 season with a 9-10 record and a 3.74 earned run average over 28 starts.
Campos, 19, went 5-5 with a 2.32 ERA and recorded a team-high 85 strikeouts for short-season Single-A Everett.
Ranked as the third-best prospect in all of baseball entering the 2011 season, the 22-year-old Montero was a late-season call-up for New York and hit .328 with four home runs in 18 games.
Noesi made his major league debut last season, going 2-2 with a 4.47 ERA in 30 games (two starts) with the Yankees. He turns 25 on Thursday.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
