MLB Betting Injury Update - Boston Red Sox & Curt Schilling

I just wanted to give a quick update on an MLB injury that will affect the Boston Red Sox going into the 2008 MLB season. It will also have an affect on how you should look at placing your MLB betting when it comes to the Red Sox.

Pitcher Curt Schilling was placed on the 60 day disabled list today by the Red Sox. Schilling is still having problems with his shoulder injury. He will continue to rehabilitate it and everyone is hoping he will be in good form when he is able to return to the Boston Red Sox line up.

During this time when you are looking at your MLB betting options take his injury into account for the Boston Red Sox. The absence of Schilling leaves a gap in their pitching rotation and will put more pressure on the other starters for the Red Sox. Schilling did say that he wanted to have surgery, but the Red Sox said he had to try rehab first. Schilling said he wasn’t hurt when he signed the 1 year, $8 million contract with the Red Sox last November.

All of that said, the Red Sox did sign right-hander Lincoln Holdzkom today, but he is basically a minor league relief pitcher. His addition wasn't made to address the Red Sox's loss of Schilling.

The Boston Red Sox are only 5-8 in pre-season and although MLB pre-season doesn't count for that much, the injury to Schilling will make it harder for them to pick it up when the MLB regular season starts. Use caution with your MLB betting and the Boston Red Sox,at least at the start of the season.

An update on The SportsBettingChamp System: It's now an amazing 72-1 on the current NBA season.
