Detroit Tigers (8-5) vs Seattle Mariners (6-9)
Detroit is sitting at the top of a bunchy American League Central right now.
They won the opener of their series against Seattle last night pushing their road record to over .500 for the season.

The Padres may have won yesterday to break their losing streak but they are still struggling greatly this season. They are already 6 games back in the standing of the N.L. West standings and will need more than just fire in their bellies to overcome.
The Phillies should be encouraged by the fact that they got a solid pitching performance from Roy Halladay yesterday. After taking two of three against the Marlins they are at .500 but still looking way up at the Braves in the National League East standings.
The offense has been much less impressive as they have are the 4th worst team in the Majors in runs scored so far, a real disappointment given they were supposed to have a revamped lineup and the seeming return to form of OF Carl Crawford.
The forecasted demise of the New York Yankees might have been a little premature. After yesterday’s drubbing of Cleveland they are at .500 and if lefty Andy Pettite continues to turn back the clock they may have something to say all season long.
The Mets have taken advantage of their schedule to get off to a nice start.
They are just behind the Braves in the National League East standings and if they can get another series win in Philadelphia they will really be pleased with themselves.
The Phillies have not gotten off to a good start and are looking to salvage a game in this opening series against division rival Atlanta. Starter Roy Halladay gave a confounding performance yesterday, racking up the strikeouts while giving up the long ball.
The season just a few weeks away so it is time to look a little closer at those season win totals. Spring is full of questions and there may be great value in knowing whether the Astros really are as bad as they look, or are the Jays really worthy of playoff consideration?
As the calendar turns the page to the month of March, all 30 MLB teams are busy preparing for a run at a World Series title. The following is a brief look at my top favorite, contender and longshot to break through the pack this season and win the American League Pennant.

Spring training sites in both Arizona and Florida are in full swing as all 30 MLB ball clubs are hard at work preparing for the start of another season. Only two will make it all the way to this year’s World Series so this time around I am focusing my attention on my top favorite, contender and longshot to get there from the National League.

The first pitch is still a while from now, but it is never too early to make your MLB futures bets.
Heading into the final week of baseball’s regular season, it has become clear who the “haves” and “have-nots” are. Some teams made a late charge this season and some fizzled – paging the Pittsburgh Pirates!!
Two weeks remain in the 2012 MLB Regular Season – the Rankings are as fluid as they have been all year. Some teams have fallen on hard times over the last couple of weeks and some have just kept clicking along.
We are into the last month of the 2012 MLB Regular Season – the cream has really started to rise to the top. While the American League teams have started to bunch up a tad the National League seems to be devoid of any sort of September pennant race.
September is nearly here and as always we are seeing some clear separation between the haves and the have-nots in Major League Baseball. There are only two real close division races in the Bigs – the rest of the divisions have leaders running away.
Just because these two teams are not currently locked in a battle atop the AL East, doesn’t mean this series will bear any less significance.
Perhaps the most celebrated rivalry in all of sports, the Yankees and the Red Sox will surely put it all on the line every single game, regardless of standings.
