Nationals pick up Edwin Jackson

Baseball Betting Lines

02/02/2012 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Washington Nationals have agreed to terms with veteran starter Edwin Jackson on a one-year contract.

The deal is contingent upon Jackson passing a physical.

Jackson, 28, entered the majors in 2003 with the Dodgers. Over nine seasons the journeyman righty has compiled a 60-60 record with a 4.46 earned right average in 203 appearances (173 starts) for Los Angeles, Tampa Bay, Detroit, Arizona, the Chicago White Sox and St. Louis.

Despite a middling start in 2011 with the White Sox, going 7-7 with a 3.92 ERA in 19 starts, Jackson was traded to the Cardinals on July 27. His luck turned around there, however, as he posted a 5-2 record with a 3.58 ERA during his time with St. Louis.

During the Cardinals' run to a World Series championship last season, Jackson went 1-1 with a 5.60 ERA in four postseason starts.

Jackson also pitched in the postseason with Tampa Bay in 2008, was an All-Star in 2009 with the Tigers and threw a no-hitter with Arizona in 2010.
