MLB Power Rankings: May 1
Dave B’s MLB Power Rankings – April 17th
Two weeks have passed since my last Power Rankings and although the MLB season remains fluid, the Top 3 spaces on the Rankings have remained the same. As always there are some interesting surprises and some absolute disappointments in the Rankings – that’s why they play the games!
Take a look at Dave B’s bi-weekly MLB Power Rankings and let me know what you think.
Surely there is somebody that disagrees with me!
1. Texas Rangers (1) – They have the best record in baseball and along with a very strong offense – the pitching staff has also looked very, very good. They are the most complete team and for the second time in a row occupy Top Spot in the Rankings!
2. Los Angeles Dodgers (2) – The Dodgers keep getting it done – 7-3 in their last 10 games and an incredible 10-2 at home this season. Matt Kemp has been sensational and the Dodgers’ pitching has been one of the surprises of the season so far. LA leads the NL and reclaims their #2 rank.
3. St. Louis Cardinals (3) – The Cards are hanging around with the NL’s second best record. They are just 5-5 in their last 10 games but when the team needs a win, they seem to get it.
4. Baltimore Orioles (17) – The Orioles – leading the AL East? Don’t get used to it but enjoy it now if you are a Baltimore fan. They swept Toronto last week and based on their 14-8 record deserve their Top 5 spot – for now!
5. Atlanta Braves (12) – The Braves have been great so far this year and now look like they will get Tim Hudson back in the very near future. They are tough as usual and are 7-3 in their last 10 games.
6. Tampa Bay Rays (11) – still have James Shields, David Price, Jeremy Hellickson, Jeff Niemann and Matt Moore throwing for them. In other words, you can’t count the out! They are 8-2 in their last 10 games and are within a whisker of Top 5.
7. New York Yankees (6) – The injury to Michael Pineda certainly hurts but help in on the way in the form of Andy Petite. The Yankees are hitting the ball extremely well and are starting to find their groove.
8. Washington Nationals (5) – The Nationals have lost four straight but are still tied for the NL East lead. Bryce Harper has been called up to make a decent offense that much better. The pitching has been solid all season but needs to pick back up.
9. Toronto Blue Jays (9) – starting pitching has been good – the bullpen and the offense have sputtered. Jose Bautista is hitting .190 – imagine what this team will do when he finally wakes up!
10. New York Mets (10) – The Mets have won two straight and are 12-9 on the season. This team may be short on payroll but they have proven that they have a ton of heart. How long will the Mets hold onto the Top 10? Who knows?
11. Cleveland Indians (19) – sit atop the AL Central despite a 4-7 home record! If they can solve their closer issues and start winning some games at home, the Indians could be Top 10 on the next Rankings. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
12. San Francisco Giants (20) – they lost Brian Wilson but Tim Lincecum is starting to round into form, Matt Cain has been good and the rest of the starting pitching looks scary once again. They have a struggling Miami team up next which helps their cause.
13. Cincinnati Reds (16) – are 7-3 in their last 10 games and finally look like a team that could challenge St. Louis in the Central. The starting pitching has been better and Joey Votto is heating up!
14. Arizona Diamondbacks (7) – The Diamondbacks are scuffling a bit at the moment – 4-6 in their last 10 games. But the makeup of this team ensures that they won’t quit at any point this season!
15. Detroit Tigers (4) – Detroit has gone an ugly 2-8 in their last 10 games but with the talent on the roster, you’d think they should get it together. They still have some guy named Justin Verlander who gives them a Top 15 nod – just barely!
16. Chicago White Sox (8)
17. Philadelphia Phillies (13)
18. Boston Red Sox (14)
19. Milwaukee Brewers (21)
20. Colorado Rockies (22)
21. Oakland Athletics (25)
22. Seattle Mariners (15)
23. Pittsburgh Pirates (26)
24. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (18)
25. Houston Astros (23)
26. Miami Marlins (24)
27. Chicago Cubs (28)
28. Kansas City Royals (27)
29. San Diego Padres (29)
30. Minnesota Twins (30)

MLB Betting Previews- Friday, April 27 Parlay
The 2012 MLB regular season kicks-off the month of May with most of the favorites holding true to form, but with a few still struggling out of the gate.
After poring through the stats for the matchups on Tuesday’s slate of games, we uncovered a two-team parlay that promises to get your week started-off on the right foot.
Game 1- Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Washington Nationals
Money Line: Arizona +110 Washington -130
Total Line: 7.5
Arizona will go with Trevor Cahill as its starter in this one. The right-hander has been struggling a bit with 1-2 start and an ERA of 3.70. He dropped his last two starts after giving-up eight earned runs in 11 innings. This was after giving-up just two runs in 13 1/3 innings in his first two starts.
Washington will look to maintain at least a share of first place in the NL East behind Jordan Zimmermann. This right-hander continues to be a productive piece of the Nationals’ starting rotation with a 1.33 ERA in four previous starts. He is 1-1 with a 2.03 against the Diamondbacks.
The D-Backs are 1-4 in their last five games against a team with a winning record and 4-6 in their last 10 games overall. The Nationals are 16-5 in their last 21 games on one day’s rest and 8-2 in their last 10 home games against a right-handed starter. Stick with Washington to snap a four-game skid with the win at home. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Game 2- Miami Marlins vs. San Francisco Giants
Money Line: Miami +125 San Francisco -140
Total Line: 7
Miami will kick this three-game series off with Ricky Nolasco on the mound for Tuesday’s Game 1. He is 2-0 on the year with a 3.20 ERA, but more important, the right-hander is 4-2 lifetime against the Giants with a 1.61 ERA including a 3-0 record and 0.76 ERA at AT&T Park.
Matt Cain is slated to get the start for San Francisco. He has posted a 1-1 record with an ERA of 2.37 in his first four starts, but got tagged with three earned runs including two home runs in last Tuesday’s loss to Cincinnati. Cain is 3-2 against the Marlins with a 3.28 ERA.
The Marlins are 10-1 in Nolasco’s last 11 starts on a Tuesday and the Giants are 2-6 in Cain’s last eight starts in the first game of a new series. Overall, San Francisco is just 8-19 in Game 1 of its last 27 series. Stick with Miami as a likely road underdog to round-out the back-end of this parlay with the win.
