Dodgers -390 tonight got have some extreme disposable income to lay that much wood.

 

[Biggins]

Well -390 prevails Giants won Milwaukee missing Hadle and others to Covid hurting them as they lost to Giants in extra’s

 

[X-Files]

Dodgers 4 games out of first place, yet still -225 to win division.

 

[Biggins]

Pollock is odd man out with Trea Turner addition. Pollock’s .305 and 14 home runs is alright l guess. Bellinger better gettyup sooner than later though he had a game tying home run last night batting in the nine hole.

[C.P.]

Cubs have self inflicted problems it’s Whitesox or leave it alone. In the Cubs defense those guys were more likely to bail than stay at season’s end. The Astros burned down the house years ago and now look. Remember when the Astros changed leagues and the AL west teams were loving it because they sucked but Huston has had the last laugh. Even before they were cheating lol

 

[C.P.]

TRU That...

 

[Biggins]

Next up the red hot Philadelphia Phillies in Philadelphia good luck with that

 

[5teamparlay]

On a nice run:


The Dodgers won for the 12th time in 13 games and for the 17th time in 20 games since Scherzer made his first start for them, a 7-5 home win against Houston on Aug. 4 in which he struck out 10 in seven innings. They trail the San Francisco Giants by 2 1/2 games in the NL West but enjoy an 11 1/2-game lead for the first wild-card spot.

Looks like pennant fever is running rampant in San Diego

So much for pennant fever. Padres get swept and all their dreams have to wait till next year.

Along with Rays, WhiteSox and Giants the LAD are in clear Top4 MLB teams so far in 2021

Preseason contenders ATL, SD, NYY and even HOU all likely to be watching playoffs from home

10 weeks later the Astros, Braves and Yankees have firmly surged into controlling the second tier along with CWS

while the overlooked (on June 17 at least) Brewers join TBay, SF and LAD as Top4 heading into September

On the fringe with hopes of winning WC game and making the Final8 would be CIN, OAK, SD and BOS

 

[barman]

Based on this morning's standings:

NYY host BOS in AL WC game w winner taking on Rays

Would prefer to see Sox and their 25th ranked pitching but Rays have absolutely owned NY for over two years now

CWS would travel to HOU


------
The Big Red Machine would travel to LA and face Dodgers as huge underdogs with winner flying north to SanFran

Brewers would host the Braves which is fun since the latter played over 60 years in MIL before moving to Atlanta in 1965
