From a gambling side of yesterday, OUCH that was tough. Still up a little bit on the year and no juice was lost. You really have to feel for the Pittsburgh Pirates, losing another tough game. Losing 0-1 is a real ball buster. The Detroit Tigers have owned the Texas Rangers in Detroit the last 2 years. You wouldn't think, hey great the rangers are in town let us get HOT. When you own a team you own a team. Detroit getting hot at the right time along with the Milwaukee Brewers. Both teams making a real run at taking their divisions.
In the East the Red Sox and the Yankees are gonna fight it out till the end. I would say the Yankees really need to win their division. With the Yankees starting rotation they will need all the home games they can get in the Playoffs. The Red Sox on the other hand have decent starting pitching and being on the road will not hurt their chances.
The National League East is looking to be a landslide by the Philadelphia Phillies. Getting really hot at the right time. With Lee going tonight against the Giants, the Phillies have a great chance to stay hot. The Giants are the backwards team. The tougher the opponent the greater the chance that the Giants will at least split the 4 game series.
Losing 2 out 3 against the Nationals, hurt the Braves a little bit. Putting the Giants and Arizona in the thick of the fight for the wild card.
The National and American league West has become two very good two team races. The Giants lead by one game because Vogelsong is now 8-1 after a Giants loss this year. The Rangers also hold a one game lead in their division with a great opportunity to tie for the lead yesterday. Of course the called dead Twins knocked the Angels off to keep them out of first.
Baseball is going to be great and meaningful all the way to the last days of the season. It would be great if those Central divisions would tighten back up and see some fun stuff down the stretch.
Arod back in the news again, for the wrong reasons...AGAIN. If he was involved with underground poker games where their was some violence involved and drugs, he should and will be suspended. They already gave him a pass about 6 years ago ans this is after the steroid issues. There will be no free passes. This story is very quiet right now but it will get very big in the next week or so. This is going to get nasty folks.
YAWN!!!! Tiger is playing in a P.G.A event this week and the media is giving him a win or a top 10 finish. This man has not made a birdie since April. Cmon media, Tiger is a middle of the road golfer with zero Bite left. Not right now anyways. Give the guy a chance to maybe play a round or two before crowning him the great one again.
Baseball 100-116 +1.35 units
Toronto +105
Cleveland +155
White Sox +100
San Francisco +125
Pittsburgh -140
Kansas City -130
