Baseball Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - John Smoltz is joining TBS as a broadcaster for Atlanta Braves games and will serve as an analyst for Turner Broadcasting on its slate of nationally televised Sunday games.

Despite the move, Smoltz did not say he was retiring, and has reportedly informed friends he plans on staying in shape should a new opportunity to pitch with a Major League team arise. He previously worked for the network in 2007 and 2008 as an analyst during the postseason.

"Joining Turner Sports' Major League Baseball coverage is a great opportunity for me to stay immersed in the game that I love and I'm really looking forward to this experience. Having worked with TBS and Peachtree TV before, I am thrilled about the start of the 2010 season," Smoltz said through a release from the network.

The eight-time All-Star is best known for his time in Atlanta from 1988-2008 where he helped the Braves to a World Series title in 1995 as well as NL pennants in 1991, '92, '96 and '99.

Smoltz is is the only player in MLB history to have over 200 wins and 150 saves and just the second pitcher in baseball annals to have a 20-win season and a 50-save season. The 42-year-old owns a career mark of 213-155 with a 3.33 ERA and has 154 saves. In addition, Smoltz is the winningest pitcher in postseason history with a record of 15-4.

After 20 years with Atlanta, including his Cy Young-winning season in 1996, Smoltz signed a one-year deal with Boston for the 2009 season, was released after making eight starts and was signed by St. Louis for the remainder of the year.

He finished last season with a combined 3-8 record and 6.35 ERA in 15 starts.
