Sport book Yankees Jorge Posada Suspended

Sport book numbers on the New York Yankees have them favored in nearly every game but the team will be missing catcher Jorge Posada for a while. He was suspended along with Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jesse Carlson for their roles in Tuesday’s brawl at Yankee Stadium.  The sports betting odds at the Internet sportsbook won’t move much, if at all, but Posada is still a key player for New York.

Sport book info had the two players being suspended for three games each as was Yankees outfielder Shelley Duncan.  Sport book info had Posada and Carlson serving their suspensions on Wednesday while Duncan appealed his. “It’s three days, and we’ll deal with it,” Manager Joe Girardi, said, “I understand why the league did what it did.”   The incident started in the eighth inning because New York reliever Mark Melancon hit Toronto’s Aaron Hill the previous inning.  Internet sportsbook notes that Carlson threw behind Posada in the eighth inning and after Posada drew a walk and later scored, he elbowed Carlson.  The brawl was then on.  “The intensity that we love in Jorge, sometimes that’s the type of thing that happens,” Girardi said. “But I love his heart, I love his intensity, and I wouldn’t want to take that away from him.”

Internet sportsbook had Girardi saying all the right things but behind closed doors the Yankees were furious at Posada for putting them at risk in a brawl.  The team is favored in sport book odds to win the World Series and they can’t afford players getting hurt.  Players like CC Sabathia and Joba Chamberlain were involved trying to break things up.  “You don’t think about it,” Chamberlain said. “You see what happens and you just take off.”

New York gets a lot of online betting respect at the sport book and they can’t afford to have players injured or involved in brawls.  Posada is a good hitting catcher and a good leader so they really will miss him in the next couple of games in Internet sportsbook odds.  New York is pretty much running away with the American League East and they are favored in sports betting at the sport book on a regular basis.  The Yankees will be an interesting team to follow at the sport book as they return to the playoffs this season and Posada will be a player who makes an impact in sports betting numbers.
