Giants, Lincecum reach 2-year deal
Baseball Betting Lines
01/24/2012 -
San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Giants and two-time NL Cy Young
Award winner Tim Lincecum have reached a verbal agreement on a two-year
contract, avoiding arbitration.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported the deal on Tuesday, which will buy out
Lincecum's final two years of arbitration eligibility, to be worth $40.5
million. According to the paper, the right-hander will earn $18 million this
coming season and $22 million in 2013. He also receives a $500,000 signing
bonus.
Lincecum, 27, had 2.74 earned run average and struck out 220 batters over 217
innings last season but still wound up with a losing record (13-14) because of
the Giants' light-hitting offense. San Francisco was next-to-last in the
league in runs with 570. Only Seattle (556) scored fewer than the Giants.
The Washington native owns a career record of 69-41 with a 2.98 ERA.

Stanley Cup betting
New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
