From the primary time I stepped in Tiger Stadium within the 60’s I’ve been a diehard American league fan and as of late that may be a actual good factor, from a sports activities betting perspective. By way of final evening’s video games the AL is a outstanding 127-75 (62.8%) which aside from the Tigers and White Sox could be one of the best document in baseball.

The White Sox and the Purple Sox are a ridiculous 25-3, Tampa 10-5 and even the pathetic Royals are 8-7. On the flip aspect in the event you like betting on Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Arizona, you’ll be in deep trouble as their mixed document is an astonishing 5-29.

Right here’s some extra juicy numbers to digest! The AL has received eight straight World Collection video games, is 7-Three within the final 10 sequence and has not misplaced an All Star sport in 9 years.

Altering managers in Pittsburgh has achieved zip and residents of the Metal Metropolis are lucky that they’ve Invoice Cowher and the Steelers. The Buckaroos have now misplaced 13 straight, are winless for greater than two weeks and broke the modern-era (since 1900) membership document of 12 straight losses set in 1939. The one longer dropping streak in Pittsburgh’s main league historical past was a 23-game slide by the Alleghenies in 1890.

Till the present streak — one which has all however assured them of a 14th consecutive dropping season — the Pirates had not misplaced greater than 10 in a row in 38 years or greater than 11 in a row in 51 years. Their present 13-year streak of dropping seasons is the longest within the majors and three in need of the Phillies’ main league document.

White Sox common supervisor Kenny Williams is probably not impressed along with his supervisor Ozzie Guillan’s actions however we reside in a outcomes oriented society and the Wizard will get the job performed. The World Collection champions received their 11th in 12 video games and 13th in 15 video games. They’re 12-2 in interleague play and have received their final eight sequence since dropping two of three to the Rangers from June 2-4.

One constructive observe aside from the Mets from the NL is the gutsy play of the San Francisco Giants who’re simply two video games again within the loopy NL West. Their beginning workers is simply 39-38 and their crew batting common simply .260 however hey have been getting well timed hits like final nights grand slam by Ray Durham.
