only showing fav odds here .

when i posted this same type of thread this time last friday it was sweep/avoid sweep oriented , the results were most of the teams avoided the sweep on sunday .

many of these teams , around 8 or 9 will again be trying to avoid the 3 game sweep on sunday (6 of the 10 dodged the sweep last weekend) .

NOW HERE WE ARE AGAIN !

WHICH ONES this weekend ? looking at it from who will win the series i like phils , mets , brew , rockies in the nl . angels , rsox , rangers , bjays in the al . gl

add on early sat morn : no longer see rockies as I did in sentence above since they lost game 1 in extras , used up bullpen and will be facing Penny ....

[chipski]

strongest 5 to win their series are :
mets -130
brew -200
angels +125
rsox -170
bjays -120

4 of the 5 above lost game 1 of the series as it was a dog domination friday night .
I would not be surprised if all 5 of the above win on sat .

teams with a loss on sat that will fall into the trying to avoid
the sweep category sunday are :
pirates
mets
cubs
brew
cards
padres
reds
rockies

yanks
tigers
rsox
twins
bjays
mariners

8 teams to most likely win sat to set up the rubber match on sunday are :
NL: mets , cubs , brew , padres
AL : rsox , bjays , mariners , twins

6 teams to fall into the trying to avoid the sweep category sunday :
pirates , cards , reds , rockies , tigers , yanks

could be pretty close or could be way off , we'll see .

the wsox rainout changes the #s a little with 1 less american leauge team to play with right now . they play dh saturday so it may still set up another team trying to avoid the sweep on sunday ...

2 AL series are 4 game series but we only count the first 3 games for #s purposes .
yanks at indians and o's at wsox are 4 game series

8 teams to most likely win sat to set up the rubber match on sunday are :
NL: mets , cubs , brew , padres
AL : rsox , bjays , mariners , twins

with some breaks these selections could go 8 - 0 .

with some breaks these selections could go 8 - 0 .

goes 6 - 2
bjays are really sick right now .
rsox now losing , not cool at all .

teams trying to avoid sweep on sunday is a surprising out of the ordinary 5 :
NL:
pirates > just a simple sweep thats all .
rockies > gotta back this talented team to go off on sunday .
AL:
rsox > am used to getting screwed at certain times in the early season by this team , one year was very significant money wise , was in april too . will they win sun ? lmao , who knows but I have to go for it . funny how the manager left buchholz in to f up a great win and big $ . if i had no wager or interest in the game we would have seen pap running out the bullpen to get the last out in the 8th . no luck man .
yanks > have avoided the sweep 3 times already this year , sad .
bjays > watching these guys play is worse than sitting through blair witch project part 1 with people you hate .
nobody knows if it's real or not , is it real , are they ? they are pretty lame which is indeed almost scary real , really lame . jays have cost me plenty of great nights thus far in 08 .
picking a winner as opposed to a team that will suck the life out of you is no doubt for acquired taste only . how i picked these guys so far this year i dont really know . i think i hate em now .

Honestly I dont like having the teams to avoid the sweep , would rather back the teams to sweep .
3 avoid and 2 get swept is not too bad , but works in the way where more get swept more times than not , this I know .
works more where 2 will avoid and 3 will get swept , is what I think anyway .
works like this more because teams are playing great and have alot of confidence and momentum going ... so they win again against the team that has been getting beat down .
Anyway , should be big time matchups that swing one way in an instant , hopefully my way . gl
