Jays - wont be in the race

Redsox - team just dont care this yr

Huh? Sox have been hottest team over past two weeks and made up 5.5 games over the past week..Sox will be fighting for first come sept

Big Bear · 07-09-15, 08:41 AM

how will the Jays not be in the race pal?

Ain't nobody said the Orioles were the pre-season favorite. they had a horrific off season.

PorkChop · 07-09-15, 08:46 AM

Red Sox. And majority will laugh, and thats why majority are on here following other peoples opinions to try and make a dollar. These are the people who listen to everything that ESPN tells them. (Like James Harden is an MVP

, or JJ Watt is the best player in football, when he doesn't move a point spread by a half point and can't get his team into the playoffs. Yea, but all those sack numbers and dances are so cool

).

Sox have played their worst ball of the season, been mixing and matching the lineup, SP troubles, etc. THERE ONLY 5 GAMES OUT, at the all star break and the hottest team in the division.

Now. The Yankees? Please. They;ve hit their high, dont have the SP depth this year
Jays - Love them, love the lineup, but just dont have the pitching. Boston just outpitched them most recently in Fenway winning 2 of 3, that would happen again in October.
Rays - Worse record in baseball last 3 weeks, don't see them overachiving yet again in the second half.

I played Red Sox to win AL Pennant at +3600.

Cannot believe I got those odds.

It's Royals or Sox if you ask me.

Vegas with Yankees and Astros ahead of them is all wrong

VegasPlayer · 07-09-15, 03:35 PM

Plain and simple. Teams in this division are terrible and will be irrelevant come September.

Except Orioles. Go O's lol

BeanTownClown88 · 07-09-15, 04:46 PM

That's a misconception, they are just all very equal. There will be as many or more .500 teams in the east than there will be in the "toughest" division in baseball..whichever people consider that to be..prolly NL Central

GT21Megatron · 07-09-15, 05:09 PM

Jays need an arm and a RP but they can't afford to dump Daniel Norris. Kid is gonna be a super star in the league......fuggin blows they lost the other young kid for the year with the torn Achilles...was looking forward to him this year....at least it wasn't his arm....gun to my head I would say Yankees Jays or Red Sox but jays and Sox which neither have a go to arm to go out and win a must win game???? Who you gonna roll out in that situation? Buckholtz? Estrada? Buhrle? Rodriguez? No clear ace on either squad and same for the Birds.......soooooooo I would have to go Yankees

johnnyvegas13 · 07-09-15, 05:24 PM

interesting

VegasPlayer · 07-09-15, 10:25 PM

Top 4 teams in the least are 11-29 combined in the last 10 games. Red Sox are on an 8-2 run. Watched Nova pitch on Sunday and he can't find his ass with both hands. O's just got swept. Rays and Jay's are dumpster fires.

sucker bet, yankees are a second half team and the red sox really aren't. Plus their pitching is awful even if you let them "regress" from how historically bad it has been already.

JameisBrady · 07-10-15, 12:28 AM

a healthy yankees team wins the division, tanaka/nova/pineda/warren > any top 4 from the other clubs. back end of the bullpen is elite (miller/betances), if ellsbury can stay healthy, him + gardy at the top of the line-up will be a problem for teams in the second half.

jays r bad how can u watch a game like today and think they will win

redsox dont really have the pitching either

and ive already said rays dont have the hitting

its gotta be either the orioles or yanks

red12sox · 07-12-15, 05:38 PM

If red Sox can deal for a front of the rotation guy they win this division, if not I have to say yanks....

Wasn't but a month ago everyone was burying the sox and calling for ferrells head. Too much talent on that roster, I tried to explain to my buddies it was early and they will be in the hunt, just need to pony up the spects and get hamels

DwightShrute · 07-12-15, 06:03 PM

Yanks might just have the best pitching. Tanaka missed several starts and so did Nova. If they are solid they could win it.

johnnyvegas13 · 07-12-15, 07:22 PM

yanks have some starting pitching

but what about the pen

johnnyvegas13 · 07-12-15, 07:28 PM

lol well then how can u say they win division and admit pen is trash

division winners have at least an ok pen

im think yannks fade like the tigers unless someone can really convince me otherwise

any bullpen with Chasen Shreve, Dellin Betances, and Andrew Miller is not "atrocious"

so many clueless idiots on this site and posts like the one I quoted are the norm here.

ok maybe atrocious was a little harsh but you can't deny it's not great. This is coming from a Yankees fan

actually I have but you conveniently ignore them because your IQ is through the floor.

KRIT · 07-12-15, 09:59 PM

Let's revisit this thread after the trade deadline. If the Dodgers don't land Cueto I'd guess he will end up in the AL East. As for which team, I don't know.
