Sabathia seeks 20th Win against Tampa Wednesday

Now that the New York Yankees have a firm grasp of the American League East title they can relax and focus on the post-season. This is exactly what C.C. Sabathia must do in order to secure his 20th win of the year when he takes on a Tampa Bay Rays squad that is battling hard to overtake the Boston Red Sox and gain control of the A.L. wildcard spot. Sabathia has been listed as a heavy favorite by baseball experts to get the win Wednesday night, but he’s blown his 2 previous chances as he may be... 

Kershaw looks for 4th win against Lincecum

The San Francisco Giants are making a late, desperate surge to make the playoffs and give themselves a chance at defending their World Series Championship from last year. They’ve won 8 out of their last 10 games, and are now just 4 games behind the struggling Atlanta Braves for the wildcard spot in the National League. The reason why San Francisco is even in this position is because they failed to address their deficiencies offensively, and lost their best hitter early in the year. MLB handicappers... 

Red Hot Diamondbacks face Kershaw Wednesday

The Arizona Diamondbacks have surprised all MLB experts on their way to a dominating season in the N.L. West. San Francisco was thought to have the upper hand in this division, but they didn’t make nearly enough improvement offensively, and lost their top threat at the plate when Buster Posey went down with an injury early in the season. Arizona has exceeded the expectations of MLB predictions for them as they have an have built an insurmountable 8.5 game lead in the West due to an offense that... 

Yankees need Burnett to Step It Up

If the New York Yankees are going to be successful this post-season they will need A.J. Burnett to pitch better. Burnett has been an enormous disappointment since joining the Bombers in 2009 as he has gone 32-36 overall. His earned run average has ballooned over the last 2 seasons to well over 5.00, and he always tends to get worse as the season goes on. Baseball experts anticipated that the Yankees and Red Sox would get to the playoffs, but the Sox were expected to take the division. Surprisingly... 

Cardinals and Brewers in National League Central Showdown

We all knew that the Milwaukee Brewers could hit, but not even baseball handicappers could have predicted that they’d have a season like this. Adding Zack Greinke and Shawn Marcum to the starting rotation was expected to give this team a boost, however the Brewers have received an increase in production from their entire staff, and now find themselves 10.5 games ahead of the second place St Louis Cardinals in the N.L. Central. MLB experts put the over/under on Milwaukee’s win total for the 2011... 

Braves have no Chance against Philadlphia

Baseball predictions had the Philadelphia Phillies finishing at the top of their division, but I doubt that they all believed they’d be running away with it the way they have. The Atlanta Braves are a respectable 24 games over .500, and yet they still find themselves 8.5 games behind Philadelphia for the top spot in the National League East. It shouldn’t be a shock to anyone that the Phillies have the best pitching staff in baseball when it comes to earned run average, however their explosive... 

Lester looks to turn Red Sox around Tuesday

The New York Yankees have won 7 of their last 10 games including 2 of 3 against Boston to regain the lead in the American League East. After the Boston Red Sox came all the way back from a 2-10 start to climb to the top of the division, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that they would either run away with it or at least maintain it due to their obvious advantage on the mound. However, the Yankees have made the most of their makeshift starting rotation, and have somehow built a 2.5 game lead.... 

Rangers have hands full against Shields and Rays

It will take an all-out effort for the Texas Rangers to hold on to the American League West lead. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are coming on strong, and they are doing it with pitching. Texas has found a way to take hold of this division with offense and a mediocre pitching staff, but that lead is dwindling as the Angels are heating up. Although the Rangers have been beating teams all season long via the long-ball, they will need to get some solid performances out of their starters for the remaining... 

Halladay Looks for Win/ Cy Young against Reds

Roy Halladay has been considered one of the best pitchers in the Major Leagues since 2002. While he may not be the only reason that the Philadelphia Phillies are running away with the National League East along with the having the best record in baseball, there’s no questioning his leadership for the rest of this pitching staff. Halladay may look to have his hands full on the road against the Cincinnati Reds Tuesday night, but with the repertoire of pitches he possesses, there is no team in baseball... 

Angels look to bounce back against Mariners

Mike Scioscia obviously made an error in starting Jered Weaver on short rest Sunday for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Weaver was pounded by the Angels division rival Texas Rangers as he allowed 7 earned runs over 6 innings. The Angels lost a series in which they desperately needed to win. Baseball experts had the Rangers running away with this division in 2011, and that has pretty much been the case for the majority of the year, but a late offensive surge by the Halos has pulled them within...
