Soccer Betting Lines

12/11/2008 - Gelsenkirchen, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Schalke defender Benedikt Howedes has committed his long-term future to the club after signing a new contract.

The highly-rated 20-year-old has put pen to paper on a new deal which ties him to the Gelsenkirchen club until 2014.

Howedes' form in the Bundesliga this season has led to a call-up to the Germany Under-21 side.

"Today is a good day for Schalke," said general manager Andreas Muller. "We have always said that Benni will be one of the cornerstones of our team in the future.

"He is a Schalke lad from our own youth system who came here when he was only 13. The more experience he gets, the better he will become."

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
