07/08/2008 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Braves signed pitcher Julian Tavarez for the remainder of the season Tuesday, hoping to bolster a banged up bullpen.
Tavarez, 35, is with his third team this season, having been previously released by both Boston and Milwaukee. The right-hander is 0-2 with a 7.20 earned run average in 16 combined appearances this season with the Sox and Brewers.
Relievers Manny Acosta and Jeff Bennett, along with utility man Omar Infante, were placed on the DL Sunday prior to the Braves opening their six-game road trip against the Dodgers on Monday.
Atlanta did not immediately announce a move to the 25-man roster, but did transfer pitcher John Smoltz from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list, opening a spot on the 40-man roster.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect
LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.
Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.
Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
