Baseball Betting Lines

02/14/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona Diamondbacks avoided arbitration with pitcher Edwin Jackson on Sunday, agreeing to terms with the right-hander on a two-year deal.

Per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed, but SI.com reported the contract was worth a total of $13.35 million.

The Diamondbacks acquired Jackson along with right-handed pitcher Ian Kennedy in a three-team trade on December 9 that sent pitchers Max Scherzer and Daniel Schlereth to the Detroit Tigers and outfielder Curtis Granderson to the New York Yankees.

The 26-year-old Jackson posted a 13-9 record with a 3.62 ERA in 33 starts for the Tigers last season and made his first All-Star Game appearance.

In 139 career games (110 starts), Jackson is 38-39 with a 4.66 ERA over parts of seven seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2003-05), Tampa Bay Rays (2006-08) and Tigers (2009).

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
