Martin Maldonado collected 3 hits including a game tying 7th inning homer and a walk off single in the 11th, icing a 3-2 Brewers victory over the Cubs.

Jason Kipnis singled, doubled, tripled, stole a base, scored two and drove in two in the Indians 8-2 victory over the Twins.

Ryan Vogelsong kept the Giants in the game with 7 innings of 4 hit ball, walking none and allowing a single run. He would not get the decision but the Champs would walk off 3-2 winners over Miami.

And in one of the most difficult decisions in Who Owns Baseball and one that will not make everyone happy, Michael Pineda struck out 16 Baltimore batters and walked none over 7 innings, earning the 6-2 win for the Yankees.

Earning 1/2 WOBs in losing efforts.

Kolten Wong hit a game tying 2 run homer in the 6th inning but his Cardinals would eventually lose the 4-3 game in Pittsburgh.

Marcus Semien went 3-4 including a pair of homers off of King Felix. But the A’s would fall short in Seattle, 4-3.

Andrew Cashner walked none and allowed just 4 hits over 7 innings. Unfortunately for him, 2 of those hits were solo home runs and he became a hard luck loser for the Padres, 2-1 in Arizona.

Shane Greene pitched beautifully in an important rivalry game. He went 8 innings, walking none and allowing just 4 hits and 1 run but got a no decision as the Tigers fell to KC, 2-1.

MLB Shutout Survivor 2015: Then There Were 3: Yanks, Blue Jays and Tigers Last Clubs To Be Bageled.

Miggy Cabrera is cracking the ball around like he did in 20112 and 2013, and far more than the 2015 season he had last year.  With Victor Martinez showing signs of breaking out of his slump, along with the Cespedes and Cabrera factor, the Tigers might just have enough to fend off being Shutout the longest of this years contest.

MLB Shutout Survivor 2015:  Which Team Do You Have Last To Be Blanked This Year?

Last Year the winners of the contest were the Angels, who lasted pretty much to Memorial Day Weekend without registering a 0.  It was a battle between them and Colorado late in the year, with Los Angeles finally prevailing.

Boston took the zero on Friday night, and were eliminated by the Jays, who are still among the 3 squads yet to register no runs in a contest.

The New York Yankees are leading the AL East, and a big reason why they are doing this is also the top of the lineup. Jacoby Ellsbury and Brett Gardner are always on the basepaths, creating havoc for power hitters like Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann to reel them in.

While we were all laughing at Carlos Beltran for his start of the year, he has hit better recently, and has mustered 9 doubles of the year, and is hitting a lot of warning track outs.  He is scraping by near the Mendoza Line, but is faring much better in May.

To me there is no surprise the Detroit Tigers are among the final clubs alive, nor is it a stretch to see the only Canadian franchise vying for the crown as well. Read the rest of this entry

Odds To Win The 2015 MLB World Series Week 5

Hunter Stokes (Chief Writer):

Follow The MLB Reports On Twitter

A month has passed in the young season of the MLB, and we have 13 teams exactly over and under .500, with 4 teams right at even par.

The odds makers are doing a hell of a job setting the values, however they are still over hyping the Padres and Cubs.

NO WAY should the Pod Squad be the 7th seed here. They are just hovering above .500 and have been losing series after series. That is with most of the offense quickly.. Don’t throw down any cabbage on them at this clip.

Detroit as, tied with KC for top AL slot is right on cue.   The Royals are doing it on both sides of the ball, with great grit ND toughness.

While KC is good, the Detroit Tigers are even better a value with their record, despite Martinez squared not hitting the ball thus far.

Like the Motown Boys pedigree a lot more, and love the value of them right now.

How quickly the gambling pundits took out the Indians based on a slow start. This is a streaky team whose way down on the list right now, but are a 8 – 2 stretch from jumping back in.

It is the same reason nor to buy into the Houston Astros yet, although one could say they are properly pegged at the odd they are at with their lead currently in the AL West.

The AL East doesn’t give out much reward for a wager when you consider they are all in the top fourteen.

Not buying the start for the Rays so far.

The Yankees have lost Masahiro Tanaka foe some time and are reminiscent of the club a few years agp, do dependent on the Home Run to win games.

Odds To Win The 2015 World Series:

New York +1800 (11)
