Smoltz activated from DL, makes season debut
Baseball Betting Lines
06/25/2009 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Right-handed pitcher John Smoltz was activated from the 15-day disabled list on Thursday in time to make his season and Red Sox debut.
It was not a successful one for the 42-year-old, who was charged with seven hits and five runs over five innings in the Sox' 9-3 loss to the Washington Nationals.
The veteran hurler signed a one-year deal with Boston back in January, ending a run of more than two decades with the Atlanta Braves. However, he had not pitched since June 2, 2008 and shortly thereafter had a procedure to repair the labrum in his right shoulder.
Smoltz did become the 41st pitcher in major-league history to appear in 21 different seasons, fourth most among active pitchers. Only Jamie Moyer, Randy Johnson and Tom Glavine have toed the rubber in more years.
To make room on the roster, Boston optioned catcher Dusty Brown to Triple-A Pawtucket after Tuesday's game.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
