The Boys of Summer are back in full swing so i thought the blog deserved a new post having been barren since the Superbowl. Here are my picks for 6 divisions, they may be touch late but at the time of writing 28 teams still have 160 games to go. There are a million other places on the web to get detailed previews, this is just a very (very) brief overview.
For previews and picks of all the games on Espn America go to http://ukusbetting.blogspot.com/
AL East
The Yankees are favs as always but i'll go with the Tampa Bay Rays who are a false price given the name recognition of the Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Pick: Tampa Bay Rays 11/2 (VC)
AL Central
If the Detriot Tigers don't win this division it will be because Prince Fielder has burst and Miguel Cabrera has become a full time drunk. The price though reflects the chances of these happening. Pick: Detroit Tigers 2/9 (PP)
AL West
A straight toss up between the LA Angels and the Texas Rangers. Odds reflect that it should be tighter than a tight thing and i fully expect both teams to make the post season. I'll take the Texas bats to just edge it. Pick: Texas Rangers 11/10
NL West
Another tight call. The LA Dodgers price is well out of line at Stan James if you're lucky enough to be able to get a bet on there but i'm going to take the Giants pitching to take the division. Pick: San Francisco Giants 17/10 (Sky)
NL Central
The bookies have this as a 3 way contest, which is fair enough. I'll take my chances of the Brewers pitching with the Reds being the main danger. Pick: Milwaukee Brewers 3/1 (VC)
NL East
The Braves choked their post season place as badly as the Red Sox did last year but not this time. Plus they have a player called Contanza. Pick: Atlanta Braves 7/1 (Boyle)
Enjoy the season and check out the update to my Beatles top 52 .
