Someone talk me out of throwing $100 on this. Good odds, considering they are only 7 back after starting 0-7. Maybe I like this so much just because of the fact that I don't love the Twins or White Sox to run away with it. I think Det will catch fire after the break. Thoughts appreciated.
I don't really like the Chi Sox or Twins either, but I think the Twins win the division. Detroit just has no pitching, so I can't see them catching up. If anything I can see them sliding further back and ending the season below .500. Might be worth a shot though just because the Central is just so bad.
I also really like the Braves Under 81.5 regular season wins. They are 45-50 right now, meaning they'd have to win 37 of their final 67 in order for me to lose. That comes out to going 0.552 the rest of the way. I just don't see that happening. I think they slide significantly in the second half, especially with playing so many divisional games. I think the Mets, Phils and Marlins are all better. Plus, they have to play the Cubs and St. Louis later in the year.
