Should The Orioles Make A Blockbuster Deal Before the Deadline?
The Orioles are kicking around the top of the AL East, and may have three players that crack 30+ HRs by years end with Cruz, Jones and Davis. The team hasn’t even had normal contributions from Hardy and Machado – while Matt Wieters is out for the year. The time to strike is now with just being behind the AL East by 2 Games, and in barely trailing for the 2nd Wild Card Spot.

As July rapidly approaches, the Orioles find themselves in the middle of the competitive AL East division trying to make a run at a division title in 2014.
Although the team finds themselves currently in second place in the division, the O’s have seen inconsistency throughout the first half of the season.
There are definitely places where the team can improve before the July 31st trade deadline, but the question remains of whether or not Dan Duquette and the Orioles front office want to part ways with some of the club’s promising young talent for a possible rental player.

Odds To Win The 2014 World Series + Best Value Bets Based On Trade Deadline Speculation
Welcome to your new World Series Favorite. according to the oddsmakers. I see their rationale. The A’s have the best record in the Majors, and also the biggest lead within their Division. Oh yeah..this club has back to back West Titles, and a deep lineup in a parity league that is the AL. While I don’t endorse them as the favorite for the World Series right now (based on predicting playoffs solely), there is no doubt I would rank them #1 in power rankings currently.

I had another on fire week last week, with 5 right predictions, and 5 draws, with zero outright losses.
Furthermore, Cincinnati jumped from +5500 to now being +4000 – with making it back to .500 last night.
I also have seen the KC Royals skyrocket from +8000 2 weeks ago, to now be sitting pretty at +2500. The Royals were my best bets 2 weeks ago.
Your new favorite to win the World Series is the Oakland A’s at +650. I understand the odd believe me, but this will be temporary.
I fully expect the Nationals to take over this position if their recent pitching trends continue.
Also if the Dodgers can come within 2 games of the Giants, they will take over as the Fall Classic Favorites once again.
Again this week I hate the Blue Jays being among the heavy favorites for the title. These guys gave been slipping recently, and the Orioles and Yankees are breathing down their necks in the AL East.
I also firmly believe with the AL West stranglehold the A’s are sure to bury the Angels, and if Detroit is a matchup for any WILD Card winner out of the AL West, heck even the Royals with James Shields, I favor them over any Halo’s pitcher for 1 game. Read the rest of this entry
