Yankees place Chamberlain on DL
Baseball Betting Lines
08/07/2008 -
Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Yankees placed star pitcher
Joba Chamberlain on the 15-day disabled list with a stiff right shoulder
Wednesday.
Chamberlain underwent an MRI on the shoulder on Tuesday in New York, but the
Yankees have not announced what that exam showed, only revealing that
Chamberlain was scheduled to travel to Birmingham, Alabama to receive a second
opinion from renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.
The 22-year-old right-hander was removed from his last start on Monday against
the Texas Rangers in the fifth inning with stiffness in the shoulder.
After Texas' Marlon Byrd singled with two outs in the bottom of the fifth, New
York manager Joe Girardi and trainer Steve Donohue came out to check on
Chamberlain, who pointed to his right shoulder. The 22-year-old could not
continue and was lifted for Edwar Ramirez.
Chamberlain gave up five runs on eight hits before exiting. It was the
worst outing for Chamberlain since being inserted into the Yankees rotation in
early June as he had not allowed more than three runs in any of his previous
starts.
To replace Chamberlain on the roster, the Yankees recalled reliever Chris
Britton from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
New York is also expected to recall starter Ian Kennedy in time to start
Friday's game in Anaheim.

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.
