06/07/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers released veteran right- handed pitcher Jeff Suppan on Monday.
The 35-year-old came to Milwaukee via free agency in December 2006 after spending the previous three seasons with St. Louis.
Suppan struggled since signing his four-year, $42 million contract with the Brewers, however, compiling a 29-36 record with a 5.08 earned run average in 110 games (97 starts). He was particularly ineffective this season, going 0-2 with a 7.84 ERA in 15 games (two starts).
Milwaukee still owes Suppan the rest of his $12.5 million salary this year as well as a $2 million buyout for his club option in 2011.
Over 16 major league seasons, Suppan is 135-137 with a 4.72 ERA in 427 games (398 starts) with Kansas City, Boston, Pittsburgh, Arizona, St. Louis and Milwaukee. He also helped the Cardinals win the World Series in 2006, when they beat Detroit in five games.
In a related move, the club will purchase the contract of right-hander Chris Smith from Triple-A Nashville. Smith appeared in 35 games for the Brewers in 2009 and pitched to a 4.11 ERA. He is 2-1 with a 1.71 ERA and 16 saves this season at Nashville.

Albert Pujols to be This Year's Home Run Champ Says Online Sportsbook
Barry Bonds is a 50-1 long shot to be this year's home run champ odds. The favorite to be this year's home run champ is none other than Albert Pujols, however.
Now that Barry Bonds is signed and in Giants camp, it is on to his pursuit of all of sports most prestigious records: the all-time home run mark. Bonds sits just 21 homers shy of tying Hank Aaron for the career mark at 755. Word out of Giants’ camp is that Bonds is the healthiest he has been in a few years. Bonds is just two seasons removed from his injury riddled 2005 campaign where he played in only 14 games and hit only 5 home runs. He did come back last year and had a solid season hitting .270 with 26 bombs. All eyes will be on Bonds this spring and summer not only because of his home run chase but his highly publicized steroid abuse allegations. If and when Bonds breaks the record, he surely will not get the positive attention one should for breaking a record that was once thought of as “unbreakable”. Despite Bonds decent season last year, he is just 50-1 at MySportsbook.com to lead the MLB in long balls this season.
Not surprisingly, the favorites to go deep the most times this season are Albert Pujols 5-1, Ryan Howard 6-1, David Ortiz 8-1 and Alex Rodriguez 12-1. With 49 homers, Pujols finished second in the National League behind Howard (58). Pujols is considered the favorite due to the consistent power numbers that he has posted since breaking into the league in 2001. Also one must consider the fact that he played in 16 fewer games then Howard did due to an injury. Howard smashed 58 homers in his first complete season of big league play en route to the National League MVP odds award. He silenced his critics by successfully hitting left-handed pitching. Howard also displayed the ability to use his power to the opposite field. Two attributes which should keep Howard amongst the league leaders in long balls for years to come. From the American League representatives, David Ortiz leads the field. Ortiz was second in the majors last year with 54 home runs. Except for 1999 when he only played in 10 games, Ortiz has improved on his home run numbers each year he has been in the majors (1997).
