This should turn out to be quite fun.  A lot of gambling establishments have this sort of deal, and we will keep a running total of this on a daily basis, in addition to MLB Shutout Survivor, Who Owned Baseball (Daily MVP of the pitcher/hitter in both the American and National League) and also our Interleague results.

What Runs Survivor is: A MLB team scoring 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10 or (10+) (in different games throughout the course of the season.

Once a club has one of these run totals once, you cross it off and keep going until they complete the 11 different variations.

A Bold Italic illustrates it has been done for runs by the club.

Previous Winners include the SF Giants, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels and Toronto Blue Jays all over the last 4 years.

My money in 2016 would have to be on the Baltimore Orioles who could score a lot of runs, but also whiff so fast against top pitchers, that they would be able to rack up the lower run efforts along with the high end scoring totals.

The hardest total to pick off is scoring 9 runs. 

We will also be doing the MLB Shutout Survivor as well.  I would peg 2014 and 2015 winners (Toronto) as the last team to be blanked yet again. 

The Blue Jays ended the longest MLB playoff drought in 2015 – and made it to game 6 of the ALCS. With losing David Price and Mark Buehrle after this year,  the pitching may not be as strong – but the offense is sure to be even better – with a full year with Troy Tulowitzki, added with the other fearsome brethren. The club scored nearly 900 runs in 2015, and are one of the toughest teams to blank. I am still picking the O’s to win this category – as their offense is not as consistent as Toronto’s – which helps win thi contest

NL Central

St. Louis  – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (10+)

Cincinnati – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (10+)

Milwaukee  – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (10+)

Colorado  – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (10+)

My pick to complete least will be the San Diego Padres. They have a terrible lineup 1 – 9, and may have a tough time scoring more than 6 runs in a game. Matt Kemp will have to avoid an early season slump for this to not happen. They could also stand to benefit for a comeback year for Wil Myers. Their SS and LF/CF/2B production is particularly bad.

I am happy to be back at the helm of the MLB Reports, after completing my record 224 Games in the MLB Trip in 2015.  It was the 4th time I have seen all 30 MLB Parks since 2008. 

During that time away I was fortunate to do 100 Media Interviews and be named the Baseball Blogger Alliance President.

Interview on CSN Philly during the month of July.
