2012 Los Angeles vs Philadelphia Betting Preview
A couple weeks ago the Dodgers were running away with the best record in baseball and the National League West, but they’ve hit the skids a bit lately.
A couple weeks ago the Dodgers were running away with the best record in baseball and the National League West, but they’ve hit the skids a bit lately.
With their solid play lately the Angels, who are 8-2 in their last 10 games, have moved into 3rd place in the AL West and they only trail the Rangers by 4.5 games.
After a terrible start this season the Angels have won 9 of their last 10 games, including beating the Rangers last night, and now they are in 2nd place in the AL West 4.5 games back of Texas.
The Baltimore Orioles started the season red hot, but they are coming back to the pack in a hurry. Tampa Bay’s win over the Orioles last night took Baltimore out of the top spot in the American League East.
As Baltimore fades the Yankees have gotten back into the thick of it in the American League East. They have won 6 of their last 8 even though they struggled at the beginning of the week with an equally resurgent Angels squad.
The season started with controversy and disappointment in Miami, but a 21-8 May turned that around quickly.
The Red Sox are looking for a 4-game sweep with a win tonight and even though they are still in the basement of the AL East they are only 2.5 games out if first place.
Don’t look now, but the Los Angeles Angels are above .500. The Angels have rattled off eight straight wins, and they are beginning to look like the team most expected to see before the season.
The Baltimore Orioles have hit the skids a little bit lately. They are still the most surprising team going but they lost their opener against a reeling Toronto team to extend their losing streak to 3 games and have won just 4 of their last 10.
Before the season began, the Yankees and the Angels would have been expected to be battling for the best record in the American League.
The Red Sox look to go above .500 for the first time this season with a win tonight, but that is far from easy facing reigning Cy Young winner Justin Verlander.
After a terrible start the Red Sox have gotten back on track and they are not at .500 and have won 7 of their last 10 games.
Tonight’s Game 1 match up in this series is one between 2 teams heading in different directions, as the Mets have won 2 straight while the Padres have lost 3 in a row.
The Washington Nationals have done it with pitching all year, and the first two games of this series have been a perfect example of what their pitching staff has done in 2012.
The Blue Jays have really struggled with Tampa lately, especially at Tropicana field where their winning percentage is abysmal.
The Phillies came into the season as the big favorite in the National League East, but they sit in last place in the highly competitive division right now.
