Ryu and the Dodgers lost that game in the 1st inning, and that doomed my card. Still don't know how he could bomb out so easily.
Now 4-8, -6,26
Chisox +138. ML. One unit. Bruce Chen had a very poor spring, pitches to extreme contact, and I still think the White Sox are hitting well. The Sox have seen Chen so many times that they know what he can and can't do. Danks had a very good spring and is chomping the bit to prove himself this year. KC has not hit him well in the past.
NYY. +106. ML. One unit. The Yanks just saw Dickey in the spring and hit him well. In fact, Dickey has still not regained his old form, and seems to flourish more as the season progresses. Pineda finally gets to pitch and impressed in the spring. He is about 6-7 and throws a nice sinking fastball.
SF -115. ML One Unit. Pity Don Mattingly. His bullpen is used up, Puig is a pain in the butt, Kemp is whining and Kershaw is on the DL. Bumgarner should show why he is the ace of this staff. Looked spectacular in the spring. Paul Maholm is a crafty lefty who looked poor in the spring, pitched very little, and has had elbow tenderness. The Giants would love to win this series against the hated Dodgers, maybe even sweep.
LAA/ Houston- over 9. One unit. A very high total but neither team has a bullpen and both starters had terrible springs. Keuchel is lucky to be in the rotation and Skaggs has lost velocity to the point his fastball is now in the high 80s.
