ChiSox designate MacDougal for assignment

Baseball Betting Lines

04/21/2009 - Baltimore, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago White Sox have designated pitcher Mike MacDougal for assignment.

MacDougal struggled in five appearances this season with no record and a 12.46 earned run average. He surrendered six earned runs with seven hits and seven walks in just 4 1/3 innings.

The 32-year-old right-hander was in his fourth season with the White Sox, who acquired him from Kansas City on July 24, 2006. He was Kansas City's closer from 2003-05, notching 49 saves in 63 opportunities.

MacDougal has a career record of 13-20 with a 4.18 ERA in 262 games, all but three of which have come out of the bullpen, for the White Sox and Royals.

Chicago filled the roster spot by recalling pitcher Jack Egbert from Triple-A Charlotte.

Egbert was 1-0 with a 6.43 ERA in five relief appearances for Charlotte, allowing nine hits and five runs with two walks and six strikeouts in seven innings. He has never pitched in the majors.

The 25-year-old right-hander has a record of 40-36 with a 3.35 ERA in five minor league seasons, but this year is pitching out of the bullpen exclusively for the first time in his career.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
