The Angels (23-27) are the hottest team in baseball, as they have won 8 straight games. They have a lot of work still to do, as they trail the Texas Rangers by 9 games in the AL West.
The 2 seasons for the New York teams could not be going any differently, as the Yankees have been great, despite their many injuries, while the Mets have the 2nd fewest wins in the National League.
The St. Louis Cardinals came into Friday night with the best record in baseball. As this is being written they were beating L.A 3-0 and looking to extend their lead in the National League Central. You have to hand it to St. Louis for always being so competitive.
As this is being written the Mets and Braves were tied at 5 and in a delay in the 8th of this series opener. The Atlanta Braves are firmly in first in the National League East and are 7-3 in their last 10 heading into Friday night.
The Philadelphia Phillies have a chance to leapfrog the Washington Nationals into second place over the weekend – not bad considering there is maybe one or two players in the lineup and a couple of pitchers that are living up to or exceeding expectations so far.
The Colorado Rockies, San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks are all tied atop the National League West heading into this series.

The Rockies have to be the biggest surprise up there as preseason predictions generally placed them as the worst team in the division.
The Rockies took 3 of 4 against the Giants at home to bridge the gap and one of the reasons for their strong record in their 16-10 mark against division competition…but things are different for this team away from Coors.
Starter Tyler Chatwood has been a pleasant surprise this season. Cast off by the Angels (who could probably use him right now) Chatwood is 2-0 this season with a shiny E.R.A. of 2.55 but that is probably not sustainable when you look at his peripherals which are in line with those from his days in L.A.
The Rockies seems to feel good when Chatwood takes the mound scoring an average of more than 9 runs a game. With that kind of support anybody can be a winner.
As mentioned above the Giants are tied with the Rockies and Diamondbacks atop the division. The Giants have won the world series twice in the last three seasons but they are still one of the most confounding teams in the league.[dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Amongst teams with a winning record they have the second lowest run differential at just +4 even though they are 5 games over the .500 mark.
They are a much better team at home where their 17 wins is tied for best in the Majors.
After a miserable 2012 season that was leaving his career in doubt Tim Lincecum has improved slightly this season – it has been amazing to watch his slide. He was hammered by the Rockies last weekend, in fact his numbers against Colorado this year are the following: 11IP, 12ER. The “Freak” has just become too inconsistent to get behind any more.
Though it should be noted the Giants are 6-3 in his starts this season. I just prefer pitchers who influence the game in a positive way rather than getting lucky.
I am totalty comfortable fading the Freak and the Giants Friday night. Its not because I am a true believer in Chatwood but I think his team will back him up against the Giants the way they have all season long.
I think either way you can go over, the Giants are scoring more runs than their reputation of their championship years.
O/U: Over
Score Prediction: Colorado 7 – San Francisco 5
Cleveland has to be the biggest surprise team on the positive side in the American League so far this season, leading the A.L Central heading into Wednesday.

The Pirates have been playing well for the last couple weeks, as they are 8-2 in their last 10 games and have won 2 straight. The Cubs have lost 2 straight and are 5-5 in their last 10 games.
The Diamondbacks won yesterday’s game with the Rockies in the first game of the series and they have won 6 of their last 10 games.
The Indians are riding a 5-game win streak, which is the longest in the Majors, and with their solid play they are in first place in the AL Central 2.5 games ahead of the Tigers. MLB lines have the Tigers as the road favorite tonight with a total of 8.5 runs.
The Giants (24-20) have lost 3 straight and 6 of their last 10 games and they are now tied for 2nd place in the NL West with the Colorado Rockies 1 game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks.
