MLB Betting: AL Leading Contenders
Writing by admin on Tuesday, 21 of August , 2007 at 6:57 pm
As usual, the American League is kicking its older brother’s ass. But look who’s doing the kicking: the Seattle Mariners. They’re easily the top MLB team from a handicapping perspective, racking up 22.4 units of profit as of press time on a record of 69-52.
Buyer beware. Like the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League, Seattle has done it with smoke and mirrors. The M’s have barely outscored their opposition (604-589) and have just 59.6 third-order wins, compared to 65.8 for the criminally unlucky 61-64 Oakland Athletics.
The “real” contenders in the junior circuit, not surprisingly, are the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. We know the Yankees are quickly catching up after a bizarrely poor first half, but the 74-50 Red Sox are also better than their record would indicate, posting 78.1 third-order wins and a shade under five units in earnings. Looks like another Yanks-Sox playoff classic in the works.
