day by day breakdown
results
fri > dogs won 8 - 7 . two favs won by a run (mets , phils)
home teams won 10 - 5 . 11 under and 4 over .
all the games in the al went under with the exception of the last al game on the board , the a's game . all 3 1st place teams in the al lost . 1st place cubs won in the nl and the 1st place phils outlasted the 1st place dbacks in 12 inn ..
there were 5 away favs and only one of those won , the cards . in contrast to flip the same cat , 4 of the 5 home dogs were winners on fri night
sat > favs won 8 - 7 . 4 - 4 in nl and 4 - 3 in al . two favs won by a run .
the 2 biggest favs on the board won (cubs by 1 and rsox by 11)
away teams won 9 - 6
11 over and 4 under . the over ran wild on sat . 4 of the 5 daytime games went over , mets game was the lone under .. no explanation for all the over other than poor pitching and humid weather , umps , i guess a combination ..
2 of 3 al first place teams won (angels , wsox) 1st place cubs won as biggest fav by 1 in 11 inn , the 1st place dbacks beat down the 1st place phils in philly in the daytime .
a rare occurence took place as the 4 team combo of ny/ny chic/chic cashed
sat was shi! for me . not too much fun at all ..
sun > favs won 8 - 7 . two favs won by a run . 6 of the 8 favs won in the nl , only 2 of 7 favs won in the al ---> det , bos . home teams won 9 - 6 .
10 under and 5 over . every game went under in the al except one --> tex game .
1st place teams did poorly sun notching only 1 win (ana) outside of 1st place phily beating 1st place ariz .. the rsox took over 1st place again knocking the rays back down to 2nd ..
5 of the 7 teams were swept . both home teams trying to avoid the 4 game sweep at home won --> det and lad
the ny mets carry a 9 game win streak into the break ..
drays carry a 7 game losing streak into the break ..
