oaklands lineup today is particularly weak, i am no fan of saunders of eveland but i think i will take saunders at home over eveland on the road, plus the lineup differntial is decent to me, bc chavy is out for oak, as is suzuki and barton

I got Oakland +123 early.
I don't think Saunders is as good as his numbers and Eveland is a beast.

Eveland away from home is a good reason to fade. The Angels also have more success against lefties than the A's.

i agree saunders isnt close to his numbers
but trust me, eveland is no beast
he is completely equal to saunders
pitching in oakland lowers ones era a lot
eveland has a 1.35 whip, which is below good. certainly not above average. he doesnt strike many out and he walks a lot
he is an average sp i think

Ryan, do u think the Twins will win their division? I know they have been hot recently, but they aren't that great of a team. Besides Morneau and Mauer, they don't have much offense. Their pitchers also have high batting averages against. They are what the Rays are to the AL East.

carlos gomez is awesome. they are a true team,. do i think they can win the division, yes.
they are better than detroit, they will win more than detroit. but they dont have the hitting of the chisox. they have a good pen though, and good starters. i think they have as good a shot as the yanks do to win the east.
the rays are legit, they will win 90 gamers

I like the under myself. The pitchers may not be great but they do not give up alot of runs either,not that any of these teams can hit.

The Rays are exactly like the Mariners of last year, but with a little more talent. Everyone thought they were a shoe in for the playoffs last year and they ended up fading away late in the season. I'm not denying that they will be in the race, I just don't think they have what it takes to compete in such a tough division. An easy explanation for the Rays current success is their consistent pitching. The Yanks and Red Sox lack that right now. However, when the Rays eventually go cold, their inexperience and hot tempers will get the best of them.
The Twins are not nearly as well rounded as the White Sox. The White Sox have a good offense, defense, bullpen, and pitching.

2nd and 3rd no out, this could be big.

not like seattle at all. seattle has maybe one hitter, maybe
they had no starters other than felix. they had a great pen
tb has great starters and a good pen too. they can hit whereas seattle cant and couldnt
sexson done, beltre garbage, ibanez soso, middle infield garbage. seattle sucks and peoploe who thought theyd be good this yr are insane
