Mariners sign Millwood to minor league deal

Baseball Betting Lines

01/24/2012 - Seattle, WA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Seattle Mariners have signed veteran pitcher Kevin Millwood to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Millwood made nine starts with the Colorado Rockies late last season after spending time in the minor league organizations of the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. He was 4-3 with a 3.98 earned run average for Colorado after joining the Rockies in early August.

The 37-year-old right-hander owns a career record of 163-140 with a 4.10 ERA in 423 games, all but eight of which have come as a starter. He broke in with Atlanta in 1997 and pitched for the Braves through 2002, then spent time with Philadelphia, Cleveland, Texas and Baltimore over the following eight seasons.

"Kevin brings a great deal of experience as a veteran pitcher and will compete for a spot in our starting rotation," said Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik in a statement. "His leadership and experience will be a benefit for our young pitchers and we look forward to seeing him in spring training."

The Mariners lost one of their top pitchers from last season earlier this week when they dealt Michael Pineda to the New York Yankees for top catching prospect Jesus Montero.

Millwood appeared in the postseason with Atlanta from 1999-2002, and was an All-Star with the Braves in 1999.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.

Saints +6 @ Colts -6
