Talking about baseball

It turns out the LA Dodgers were behind the Miz being in the all-star game. The Dodgers manage the NL and play Brewers Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so Miz may not be able to pitch or the Dodgers want to see him pitch in person to try figuring him out.

Great inspiration seeing Skubal gave up 2 runs in 1 inniny seeing they're beatable. Points against me and my futures bets Otani got a hit which became a run.

Boston Red Sox on 10 game winning streak. Of course winning any 10 games in a row is an accomplishment, but they were 2 games under .500 and now they're 8 above and 3 games away from the AL East lead and in the wild card. I truly thought they were going to be finished and I counted them for dead.

I am not as excited about The Red Sox 10 game winning streak as some seem to be. 6 of those games were against the Nationals and Rockies, two last place teams. And while Tampa Bay is a decent team who Boston jumped over with the 4 game sweep just before the break, Tampa is only 3-11 in their last 14 games. So they were struggling and heading in the wrong direction even before the Red Sox series. BUT, you gotta beat the teams on your schedule and the Red Sox have done that the last 10 games, so I give them that.

About a month ago when the Yankees lead the division by 7 games, I said, I thought they were overrated and said I was not even sure they would even win the division, so I am not surprised at their recent play. You take away Judge and they aren't that good.

The Red Sox just got Bregman back, which will help, but I don't think they have the pitching to win the division. But at +650, I am thinking of taking a shot with them (to win the division), just because I think they Yankees are over-rated and not that good. And yes, I know Tampa and Toronto are still in the mix, Toronto on top right now, but I don't see either as much more than a .500 team.

The Boston Red Sox, they would be a surprise. I dont think they're that good and they lose way to many 1 run games. I'd not take them to win the division personally. I've already made my decision in the AL and Im sure this influences my opinion. Best regular season record in baseball has some good choices, may want to look there.
