Hey all......Looongtime lurker. Always preferred posting at one place only (Everyedge).....but I figured since I'm going to win the 25K BJ freeroll at the bash, I may as well get to know some of ya's better.:missingte
Angel fan by birth so I mostly focus on the AL and the West in particular.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not into lengthy write-ups but always prefer when others post a sentence or two of reasoning, so I try to do the same. I'm no COLDWEATHER but here goes.
Philly -1.5 +173 (POD)
LA offense not as good as they looked vs. putrid ATL pitching. Philly ready to rock and roll in a good old fasioned woodshed after getting swept at home by the cards.
Wash +130
Going to keep fading the 'stros as chalk until they prove they can hit. (see PITT)
Cle -149
Byrd, Byrd, Byrd...Byrd is the word. This is a SOLID team. And no I'm not just putting too much emphasis on taking 2-3 from the champs in their own back yard
TB +149
Double dipping on the D'rays here. I know TOR gets alot of love around here but color me not sold.....yet. (copy/paste from EE where there's a large Canadian following)
KC +1.5 -103
Yes, KC is KC.....but the Sox play an awful lot of 1 run games.....They're the Eckstein of the AL..."just enough". I'll take my chances that the SOX are disinterested and KC keeps it close.
LAA +114
Typical Yanks...monster line-up and terrible pitching. Money burners for years now and we get a nice line here b/c Halos looked like shit in SEA. Pitching wasn't as bad as it looked. DEFENSE was. Escobar is the Angels #2 starter in my book. Only trouble could be his historical lack of run support.
M's -125
I'm convinced that both the A's and Angels are over rated and the M's will make a serious run at the division title. They might be an arm or two short at the end....but I think they'll have a helluva 1st half of season. Keep grabbing the short prices while I can.
