The value on the Angels is gone. They shouldn't be favs at NY IMO.
I have futures on both LA teams to make it to and win the World Series, but I am going to be selling the Angels bet back very soon for some very easy profit. Something tells me now this team isn't going to be there at the end and they aren't the best team in baseball IMO (although stats say otherwise). We'll see, but usually after a big trade like that you get everybody thinking they will win only to end up being overhyped. They still have major lineup holes IMO, and although they have one of the best overall rotations in the MLB, they don't have those dominant 1-2-3 pitchers like TB.

Shields and Garza have been hammered on the road all year. I would trust Lackey, Saunders and Santana on the road long before them. Santana is the shakiest but Saunders road ERA is in the two's I believe and Lackey's road ERA under three. Unfortunately for Tampon Bay's pitchers, they cant pitch all their games in their dump.
I am still laughing at the Tampon Bay players talking about their "offensive outburst" in the last two games of their series against Toronto where they scored three games each. I guess when you've averaged 2.6 runs a game for a month three runs does sound like a lot. I would hate to see their reaction if they actualy scored 10 runs or beat a team with a pulse. I have never seen a first place team so excited about a 4-2 road trip over Kansas City and Toronto.
