08/18/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Braves have officially acquired first baseman Derrek Lee from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for three pitching prospects.
Lee has been bothered by a lower back issue this season and was not in the lineup for the Cubs on Wednesday. In 109 games this season, he has a .251 batting average, 16 homers and 56 runs batted in.
"It just felt right," Lee said. "The main thing, though, is that we have six weeks to go. Atlanta is in first place. They're playing great baseball. The chance to go to the postseason -- it's hard to pass up."
The Cubs tried to send Lee to the Angels earlier this season, but he invoked his no-trade rights as a 10-and-5 player -- 10 years in the league and five with the same team -- to void the deal.
"It's a situation Derrek and I have been working on for a few days," said Cubs general manager Jim Hendry. "He's had a tremendous career here except for the year with his wrist injury. He's performed like an All-Star player and an All- Star teammate. It's unfortunate that we've gotten ourselves in this spot. It is a great opportunity for Derrek to join a first-place club."
Chicago acquired three minor league pitchers from Atlanta -- right-handers Robinson Lopez and Tyrelle Harris with southpaw Jeffrey Lorick. The Braves also received cash considerations.
Lee will be a free agent at the end of the season. It is the third trade in which he has been involved, having been sent to Florida from San Diego in 1997 before being traded to Chicago prior to the 2004 campaign.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
