Do You Think Pujos Catches Hamilton for Hrs?

[jjgold]

Hamilton 20
Pujos 7

My Line

Hamilton -130
Pujos +121

[brahmabull117]

Not a chance, I think Hamilton finishes with at least 45 homeruns and maybe over 50



Pujols will finish with around 30-38

[lunchbawks]

Joey bats will catch up to Hamilton

[King Mayan]

Me and Pujols were injecting roids in each other asses last night..

Fun times.

[jjgold]

[Powderguy]

is this a serious question??

[taxe91]

if hamilton spends 30+ games on the DL as usual then i'd give pujols a shot

this


Hamilton might hit 55 hrs this year if he stays healthy. His stroke has been unreal

[Doug]

Hamilton at -130 is way too low, more like -300.

[tatommack]

No chance in hell unless josh gos on the dl. Josh is in some kind of zone he might have 35-40 hrs by the all star game

[No coincidences]

Pujos?

[jjgold]

Dont count this punk out

I did already but say he goes on a tear and Hamilton slows down??

[taxe91]

pujols has given hamilton too much of a headstart. 'slowing down' by hamiltons standards is still 3/4 homers a month. he'd have to be on the DL

[frogsrangers]

The Angels win 5 straight and now everyone and their mother are saying they will win the AL West and Pujols will win MVP...

nobody has said that.

[milwaukee mike]

jj if that's really your line can i lay 324 points on hamilton to win your 249?

[seaborneq]

Pujols 40+ homers days are over.

[jjgold]

mike not yet

I am doing some simulations as we speak

I think many would not be surprised if it got close

[milwaukee mike]

the only simulation that will have pujols winning is one where hamilton gets injured

[PedroG]

Hamilton will finish with 60+ and 160+ RBIS

[d2bets]

Only if Hamilton gets injured. 13 HR gap in 115 games is a big gap. Pujols should end up with 30-35. Hamilton will beat that easily unless he gets injured.

Pujols 32
Hamilton 42

[BoS_010]

Pujos?

I was thinking the same thing...


I made a bet with a buddy of mine roughly 3 weeks into the season when Pujols was sitting at zero HRs and batting around .200. He said something along the lines of "It's going to be funny when he finishes with over 40 homers." I immediately responded with "Wanna bet?". He said "yea" and I asked for the money right then and there. Albert finishes with no more than 35.

[jjgold]

It would be unreal if he hit 40

[mathdotcom]

Bautista wont even hit 30

Guy coming down off HGH and will struggle even more as season progresses

[GaryDN]

Transfer years are a Jinx

[PaperTrail07]

depends if hammy keeps playing but other than that...not a snowballs chance in hell

[brahmabull117]

Pujols 32
Hamilton 42

42? no chance


That ballpark is hitters heaven in the summertime. Flyouts routinely are homeruns. Hamilton will hit at least 45 and likely close to 60

[brahmabull117]

Hamilton will finish with 60+ and 160+ RBIS

I think he'll get close to these numbers if he stays healthy. People don't realize just what an awesome hitters park that place is in the summertime. Ball absolutely FLYS out

[Monitor-Tan]

No way..

Even if Hamilton is out for 3 weeks, I'll still take Hamilton to finish on top..

It's only May, wait until Arlington hits mid June and it gets insane hot..

Hamilton has insane home advantage to hit HR then Pujols..

Rangers ballpark is a HR heaven park

Angels park not even close

Considering Hamilton has averaged 114 per game the past 3 seasons it is certainly possible. Pujols is basically always healthy and he is--career wise--the better hitter for average and power. It's not unrealistic to think Pujols could catch him. Plus teams are much more likely to pitch around Hamilton if he continues to play like this while more teams will be willing to challenge Pujols.

[frogsrangers]

Not on this board, but its been buzzing around other boards and the sports media.

LOL @ pitching around hamilton



The 2 hitters in front of hamilton have a combined .750 On base percentage. Adrian Beltre behind him had 32 bombs and 100 rbi last year in like a 120 games


Pitching around Hamilton is gonna result in a ton of situations with runners on 1st and 2nd and a VERY good hitter coming up

Sure, but that does not mean they both get on 75% of the time in front of him. I know the Texas lineup is stacked. I am just saying, if he continues at this pace--which I highly doubt--teams will just pitch around him and have other players beat them. Hamilton has a much higher strike out rate than does Pujols too. I would still say unless he gets hurt, Hamilton should easily have more HRs than Pujols.

My point is that Josh is coming up with a runner on base a huge % of the time and 2 runners on base also a big number of the time. You can't work around him with runners on 1st and 2nd and it's really hard to work around him with Beltre next



I think you'll see Josh finish with about 55 Hr, 150 RBI and maybe 1.100 OPS. Similar to what A-rod did in 2007

[Rookie-Capper]

no way id bet hamilton with those odds all in
