MLB - 2012 DIVISIONAL ODDS TO WIN


Washington -200 seems a little high but considering how stacked they are with pitchers this is probably about right. The Braves in 2nd place at +200 would be a nice value play in my opinion but Atlanta has been so inconsistent this year i'm hesitant to invest a in their future. Marlins/Mets/Phillies obviously have no shot at this division based on poor performances. The Phillies will most likely trade/sell big-time really soon. Kinda sad what they've NOT accomplished this season. Mets would really need to get hot and stay hot for an extended period of time - It won't happen. Marlins are a little "fishy"...yeah i said it. They just blew how many million? Yeah the word "joke" comes to mind in how sad of a season this will turn out to be.
Washington wins this division hands down unless they get riddled with injuries.

ATLANTA BRAVES +200
MIAMI MARLINS +3000
NEW YORK METS +1000
PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES +3000
WASHINGTON NATIONALS -200

****************************************
Cubs +500, oh i just love that. Why not toss $10 on it just for fun? In the real world you have Cincinnati running the show and why not...these boys can score. They should continue to until the end. St Louis and Pittsburgh on the other hand are going to have to battle this one out and the one who prevails will be the one who is #1 More consistent #2 More resilient. The Cardinals showed us last year they have what it takes to close...yes they have new management running things now but they have not gotten away from what they are, which is a solid ball team. I look for St Louis to make a nice run at Cinci and possibly win this division while the Pirates fall behind down the stretch. Sorry Pittsburgh.

Wow can you say "Choke"..Dodgers have got to be kicking themselves right now pretty hard. They went from Hero to Zero in a matter of weeks. D'Backs bats are so cold they need lighter fluid to get things going again. Will they make a run to the end? Only time will tell...i'm not convinced they will at this point. Padres...just keep NOT scoring guys and see how far that gets you. (chuckle). Wait, are the Rockies really listed below...not this year guys. Lots of work to do there. San Fran coming on strong here and why not. Pitching looks great, bats doing well, and not much to defend against at this point. Giants win this division by 5 games while the Dodger fans hang their heads in shame.

JUL 15 - 12:00 PM 2012 NL WEST DIVISION -ODDS TO WIN

ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS +400
COLORADO ROCKIES +20000
LOS ANGELES DODGERS +150
SAN DIEGO PADRES +50000
SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS -125

*****************************************
Upset of the year - TB Rays +2000. You're crazy if you dont play this. I'm not saying they will win but who else in the division can beat them to the end (not counting the Yankees)? No one will....bet on them. No way you lay -3000 on NY unless you have a very low IQ. Boston cant seem to win no matter what and i doubt that changes anytime soon. Baltimore is about to fade, and i mean fade fast. Hate to see it too, those boys have the talent but are not getting it done on the field.

JUL 15 - 12:00 PM 2012 AL EAST DIVISION -ODDS TO WIN

BALTIMORE ORIOLES +3000
BOSTON RED SOX +2000
NEW YORK YANKEES -3000
TAMPA BAY RAYS +2000
TORONTO BLUE JAYS +4000

*****************************************
Not going to waste time on KC or Minnesota so on to Detroit. 3 games behind Chicago who in my opinion will have yet another fading 2nd half. Detroit has giving up too many games early in the season and should be leading the pack in this division...but they aren't. If they can correct their defense they have a great shot at this but if they dont the next in line will be Cleveland i think. Why? Because they are on fire and when these guys get hot they are capable of doing anything. Walk-off wins or not they are winning...also 3 games behind Chicago. Tough one here to call but i think Detroit has the best shot at this division.

JUL 15 - 12:00 PM 2012 AL CENTRAL DIVISION -ODDS TO WIN

CHICAGO WHITE SOX +120
CLEVELAND INDIANS +350
DETROIT TIGERS +120
KANSAS CITY ROYALS +10000
MINNESOTA TWINS +10000

****************************************
Los Angeles or Texas...that's the big question. Well i tell ya, the Rangers will win because they have more talent, better pitching, better batting, and better management. These boys are used to winning and nothing will change that anytime soon. CJ Wilson will be disappointed he made the jump to Los Angeles (he may be already). Texas wins the West but no way i lay -500 on them.

JUL 15 - 12:00 PM 2012 AL WEST DIVISION -ODDS TO WIN

LOS ANGELES ANGELES +300
OAKLAND AS +10000
SEATTLE MARINERS +100000
TEXAS RANGERS -500
