Every week, there will be a little segment on this weeks matchups and who I think will win.
Week 1
Yankees vs Red Sox- Yankees takes this one pretty easily, no explanation needed.
Blue Jays vs Rays- This is a tough one, and maybe the best matchup of the week. I'm gonna pick the Rays here as I like his pitching and as of now has a bit better lineup.
Orioles vs Royals- Orioles takes this one, although i believe it goes down to the weekend.
White Sox vs Indians- Another interesting matchup. With Latos out for the first week, i dont think the pitching is there for this week. I take the White Sox.
Twins vs Tigers- This should be a good battle as well, but I feel the Twins are locked and loaded to pull a victory out here.
Mariners vs Athletics- A's takes this one, like the offense, like the pitching, mariners just dont match up well right now with the A's.
Angels vs Rangers- This one will be a battle, but I like the Angels pitching and depth. Angels takes this one easy.
Phillies vs Braves- Phillies runs through Atlanta. Atlanta has to many weakness to match up with the Phillies at this point.
Marlins vs Mets- I think this is a close matchup that I expect to be determined on Sunday. My money is on the Marlins.
Nationals vs Cubs- Nationals have no shot. And I mean no shot. Cubs easy.
Pirates vs Astros- Astros just doesnt have enough pitching to contend with the Pirates, although they may outhit em, in the end it wont matter. Pirates win this.
Reds vs Brewers- Love the Reds team, and although the brewers may out hit them, they wont out pitch them. Reds take this week.
Cardinals vs Dodgers- Wainwright is gonna kill the Cards. Might be close, but i think the dodgers win this.
Rockies vs Giants- Great matchup. Hitting vs. Pitching. I think this could truly go either way, but I'm going to give the nod to the Giants, i think he scratches it out this week over the rockies.
Diamondbacks vs Padres- Dbacks have no shot. Padres wins this by tuesday.
