Soccer Betting Lines

07/25/2010 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Guti officially announced his departure from Real Madrid on Sunday after 15 years at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The 33-year-old midfielder debuted with Real in 1995 after joining the club as a nine-year-old, and he went on to make 542 appearances while helping the Spanish giants capture 15 major trophies.

However, his contract expired at the end of this past season, and according reports, he is set to join Turkish side Besiktas, which is managed by former Real Madrid boss Bernd Schuster.

"Thank you to everyone. I go knowing that Real Madrid will always be my home," Guti said at a press conference.

"I leave knowing that Real Madrid wants me and that is very important."

Guti hasn't officially decided to move to Turkey, but he also left open the possibility of a return to Real Madrid once his playing days are over.

"I have an offer from Besiktas, but I haven't decided yet," he said. "What is for sure it that wherever I go, I will give everything. I don't know where I will end up playing, but I would like to have the possibility of carrying on at Real Madrid when my career as a footballer has ended."

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.''
