The record for predicting odds last week was 4 – 3 – 3.

The Rays have kept chipping away at their odds, by having a 4 – 2 week.  At +8000 for the World Series, this is still tremendous value.  I actually like the +1800 for the division even better.

Baltimore is holding onto a firm grasp of the AL East (4 games over TOR – and 5 Games over NYY), so how the hell do the oddsmakers have the Blue Jays favored slightly more than the O’s.

I will take the win, and leave the Birds as a best pick this week. I was amazed to see the Jays maintained a +1400 clip despite having a pitiful week, and see the injuries continue to rise.

The Cards both thwarted my Brewers best bet pick last week, but also worked against my 1 of my worst odd picks, narrowing the Central lead to just 1 game.

The Redbirds are now +700 more favored than the Brew Crew for the NL Central.  This despite losing Yadier Molina.

With the Reds losing Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips, I am all over the Pirates and Brewers this week.

I still hate the A’s being the #1 favorite considering the Angels could pass them for the AL West, then it would be a Wild Card Play in game for Oakland, (maybe against Felix Hernandez or James Shields).

Not guaranteed win night, and to have them rated #1 over the Tigers (holding a much bigger Division lead is not smart).

2.  PIT  +3500 (with CIN/STL injuries and MIL not playing well, good value)

3.  Milwaukee +1800 (Still have NL Central lead)

4. Washington +1000 (Should pull away from ATL 2nd half)

5.  KC +4000 (Within range of SEA, one of best SOS’s in 2nd hald

Worst odds on the board This Week (Value Wise)

1.  TOR +1400 (Losing June and July, injuries mounting)

2.  NYY +2200 (.500 club as team sits at best)

3.  OAK +500 (If LAA catches them, they may get bounced in WC play in)

4.  SF+1100 (not by much here, but hard to bet them winning NL West, road harder traveled through WC game)

5.  SEA +2500 (Need to pull a trade down)
