Baseball Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Phillies bolstered their bullpen Monday with two additions, bringing up lefties Nate Robertson and Mike Zagurski, and recalling Vance Worley from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Monday against Florida.

Robertson was signed to a minor league contract on August 24. He made 19 appearances (18 starts) for the Florida Marlins this season before being released in July. The 32-year-old went 6-8 with a 5.47 earned-run average, striking out 61 and walking 40 in 100 1/3 innings.

Robertson had signed with St. Louis on August 2 before being released. He made two starts for Lehigh Valley and pitched to a 3.38 ERA with a 1-1 record.

The right-handed Worley went 10-7 with a 3.36 ERA in 27 starts between Double- A Reading and Lehigh Valley this season. He made his major league debut earlier this season against Colorado, tossing a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts on July 24. It was his only game in the bigs this year.

The 22-year-old will make his first career start Monday in the opener of a doubleheader with the Marlins.

Zagurski, a lefty, appeared in five games with Philadelphia from June 23-July 6 and posted a 3.38 ERA without registering a decision in 5 1/3 innings. He has a 2-3 mark and 3.27 ERA in 52 relief outings for Lehigh Valley in 2010.
