Guardians Under 82.5

On May 9th, this play didn't look good as they started out 23-15. But since then, they've gone 11-16. I see plenty of this team and they aren't good. We know Detroit is good, and even the White Sox aren't nearly as terrible as last year. Jury still out a bit on KC and Minnesota but I wouldn't be surprised to see the Tribe/Guardians finish in 4th place in the division.

He was the best, sadly those days appear to be over. Look at right now, he missed a month and is back and playing really good, IMO there's about an 80% chance he gets hurt again this yr.

This "injury" that caused him to miss a month was fake - tests revealed no damage, no real issue, he was "sore". he went from an iron man who played 160 games to perhaps the softest player in MLB. The money caused it.

more like the weight on the knees. Not the weight of the wallet..


when the knee goes bone on bone that is the end of the player. Not many can do it

So far I've had bad luck with most of my season win totals. I have Anaheim Under. Anaheim has the 24th worst run differential in MLB, a terrible bullpen, their record is 32-34, they're 12-5 in one run games and 4-0 in extras, their EXWL record is 28-38

I have the Reds Over.The Reds are 8th in the league in run differential, they're 35-33, their EXWL is 39-29

I have the Guardians Under. The Guardians are 34-32, their EXWL is 30-36, they're 22nd in run differential

I have the W Sox Over, they're 23-44, their EXWL is 27-40, 23rd in run differential, one spot ahead of Anaheim, but 10 games behind them in the standings. the Sox are an amazing 4-16 in one run games

I have the R Sox Over. Their record is 33-36, their EXWL is 36-33, they're 6-13 in one run games

Both Sox are a combined 10-29 in one run games

I can only hope the second half of the season things start to even out

Talk about irony; within a minute or two of your post, the Guardians hit a grand slam against the Reds.

Is there any evidence or reports that trout has any serious/permanent damage to his knees? no, he's just weak.

He used to be my favorite player, I'm so sick of him saying after some fake injury that he feels great and is ready to get back out there, and then he misses 4-6-8 weeks.

Trout couldn't stay out of a double play the other day on a ordinary grounder to third. Even Oakland announcers were amazed with his lack of burst now.

I took Colorado + 2 1/2 runs. I had posted that Ray hadn't made a start in Coors since 2020, and when he was with Arizona, he didn't pitch well in other Denver starts. It's 6-3 Colorado heading to the top of the 8th. Rockies bullpen proceeds to give up 7 runs over the next 2 innings. It's 10-6 SF heading to the bottom of the 9th. The Rockies get a HR and a walk in the inning, but what could've been a 2 run homer became a solo HR after the baserunner was wiped out on a double play. Typical Colorado. I probably should've just bet Rockies team total or first 5. Putting any trust at all in that garbage bullpen is foolish.

I'm starting to wonder if the Halos can win the West. The only team that scares me is the Mariners. What has really helped them get to .500 is finding a dependable setup guy they haven't had in years in Reid Detmers. Detmers and Jansen are a decent one two punch late, moreover, it looks like Adell has finally developed into a nice little power hitter in center.

Not a big follower of the East, but Jobe in Detroit out for the season has to hurt. Saw him pitch a few times, very impressive rookie.

Their farm team has developed some great arms.

That division will be interesting at the trade deadline to see who buys and who sells.

Let's see if Halo #1 pick from last year Christian Moore (Vols) adds some punch at second base. He was tearing it up in the minors.

If the Pirates and Tigers played each other and the pitching matchup was Skenes/Skubal, I think the total would be 5 juiced to the Under and the FF total would be 1.5 also juiced Under

This would be a nightmare matchup for Fezzik. Both are his go to huge vig unit grabs.
