Football Betting Lines

04/27/2010 - Lake Forest, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bears acquired safety Chris Harris from the Carolina Panthers for linebacker Jamar Williams on Tuesday.

Harris was picked by the Bears in the sixth round of the 2005 draft and spent his first two seasons with the club, but was traded to Carolina in 2007 for a fifth-round draft pick in 2008, which the Bears used to pick cornerback Zackary Bowman.

Over his five years in the league, he has totaled 338 tackles, 10 interceptions, 22 passes defensed, 12 forced fumbles and one sack over 69 games, including 64 starts.

Williams, a four-year veteran, has appeared in 51 games and has recorded 89 tackles and one sack over that time.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
