Baseball Betting Lines

05/03/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Washington Nationals closer Matt Capps has been selected as the Major League Baseball Delivery Man of the Month for April.

Capps finished the first month of the season with 10 saves in as many opportunities in 12 games. He posted an earned run average of 0.68 with 15 strikeouts and just 12 hits allowed in 13 1/3 innings.

The 10 saves were the second-most in any month for a Washington closer, behind only Chad Cordero's 15 in June 2005.

Others considered for the honor included Yankees ace Mariano Rivera, who had seven saves without allowing an earned run in 10 games; Minnesota's Jon Rauch, who took over the duties after Joe Nathan was lost for the season and notched seven saves with a 1.80 ERA and a 1-0 record in nine games; and Detroit's Jose Valverde, who was 0-1 with an ERA of 0.75 and seven saves in 13 games.
