MLB Futures Sweat - Final Weekend!
Well this is it, we've come down to the final regular season weekend! Personally, I've got a lot riding on Detroit to hold on and on the Astros to finish this miracle comeback, and a little on the dodgers. Anyone else in the same boat?

I need the Cards to stay close enough going into Sunday to have Carpenter pitch, then I need him to throw a gem while Brandon Webb gets rocked.

Carpenter or Webb to win the Cy Young, Detroit pennant, LAD pennant, and I think Cincy/Division+pennant is still alive.

[/ QUOTE ] It looks like Larussa has made the decision to start Anthony Reyes, rather than Carpenter. With Houston losing, I think it is the right move. If Houston comes back to win, and St. Louis loses, than Carpenter can pitch in the one game playoff against Houston. This pretty much screws anyone (including me) who has money riding on Carpenter for Cy Young though. I need Brandon Webb to get rocked, especially since I have SD to win the NL West. Edit: Actually, St. Louis would also have to lose in the makeup game vs SF before they had to play Houston. |

Re: MLB Futures Sweat - Final Weekend!
I took some Twins division futures before the season--I thought Minnesota was prety undedrated and the Indians and White Sox overrated. I certainly didn't count on the Tigers being much about .500 though.
I have some Cardinals division shorts so I'm rooting for the Astros with you. Also have Jays under 87 and Yankees under 98.5 so I need the Yanks to go exactly 2-1 in that series, although given the pitching matchups I suppose 2-1 is the most likely result. |

I was at the game last night when Mauer hit the homerun in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs. It was awesome. Twins are a dangerous team and I like them to win the AL. Of course, I am a bit biased [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: MLB Futures Sweat - Final Weekend!
tigers to win the central $1000 at 30-1 (what a nightmare this last month has been). ryan howard to win the hr title $250 at 40-1 (looks wrapped up with batting avg as the tie breaker). yankees under 97.5 for $1000 (doesn't look out of reach, but not real good).
of course in on the webb/carpenter saga and pujols for mvp. go tigers, go white sox! |

[/ QUOTE ]Tigers will still win the central. They only have to beat the lowly royals for 3 games. The Mauer homerun must have been really painful for you yesterday if you were watching the game. Twins/Sox should be a great series. Even though the Sox are out of it the 2 teams hate each other and the Sox would love to beat down on the Twins. I believe the tickets sales for the 3 games is extremely high. |

Re: MLB Futures Sweat - Final Weekend!
chalk - nice dude, did you hedge tigers at all?
I have $200 at 30-1 but hedged off a bit of it as the multiple thousands is pretty substantial to my current roll. Still ~2k better if they win though. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] tiebreakers. Also Astros have the tiebreaker over the Cards, have them at 12-1. Unfortunately Pinny took down the ryan howard prop right before I found out about it. CWS under 91 looks good, guaranteed at least a tie; all my other over/unders have been decided already - ship A's, Royals, D-backs, Giants $ this way plz. Angels u87 isn't happening unfortunately, |
