Two weeks of MLB are in the books and already some of the cream is rising to the top. With most team having played 10 games early in the season there are certainly some surprises – the Nationals, the Dodgers and the Orioles currently lead their respective Divisions – insane!
The 2012 MLB regular season enters its second full week a games with a few teams making an early sprint out of the gate with a few others off to a surprisingly slow start.
A few years ago this would have been a battle of two division leaders, but the Twins have fallen on hard times the last couple years.
The Mets are definitely off to a better than expected start. They took the opener of now their second series against Atlanta last night making them 4-0 vs the Braves this year (they are just 3-3 against everybody else).
No one is sure who will win the National League East but everyone is pretty sure the New York Mets will finish in last place.
The National League East should be very interesting this year. Miami did a lot in the offseason to improve and Philadelphia has come back to the pack due to injury.
There is a full slate of Major League games on this Thursday’s schedule, but we poured over the current lines in search of a golden opportunity to parlay two of them into a winning combination. The following is look at two matchups that fit the bill.
The Angels are looking to build on their series opening win against Minnesota.
The Phillies have all sorts of injury problems, and they have started out the season by winning just one of their first four games.
The 2012 MLB regular season enters its second week and while there is a very long way to go in a 162-game season, it has already had its fair share of surprises with a couple of favorites struggling out of the gate.
Virtually nothing was expected out of the New York Mets this year, but they started the season off with a sweep of the Atlanta Braves.
As this is being written the Milwaukee Brewers are losing the rubber match in their three game series against St. Louis, not exactly the start they had in mind with Ryan Braun popping off about how this team is better without Prince Fielder.
If moving in the fences was supposed to spark offense at Citi Field the visiting Atlanta Braves certainly didn’t get the memo.
The Kansas City Royals are heading into this season with a great deal of optimism.
The 2012 MLB regular season started with a two-game set between Seattle and Oakland last week but the action really gets underway this Thursday with seven games on the slate.
I know it is early but I don’t like the look of this Red Sox team. They had an epic collapse last year and I don’t see where they are improved at all heading into this season. A bunch of players had great years last season and it still wasn’t enough.
