Quick MLB Divisional Note
I had bet the Rangers in the first play-in game. The triple reasoning was a) Rangers have proven themselves in recent Octobers and are at home b) Price seems slightly overvalued currently c) Martin Perez had a very good 2nd half. The Rays, however, took the game. I have since made a parlay with the two NL faves. The Cards and Dodgers both entered this round at just about -150 so I threw them together for something resembling a potentially decent payout. The match-up I really like is Oakland +145ish. I feel that while Detroit’s pitching ceiling is higher, as a whole the depth of consistency for Oakland is very positive. Much of Detroit’s offensive success this year rested on a now banged-up Cabrera and an entirely too successful Hunter. No touchy on the Sox/Rays.
