Who is the best team to chase for tue?
- Thread starter ALLAN
- Start date
White Sox? This team is reeling. Guys are upset with Guillen and the Twins are white hot. How could anyone bet against Santana in this spot? I just grabbed the Twins to win the AL Central at 15-to-1. They play Detroit 10 more times -- gotta love this generous price on a team that: simply doesn't lose at home, has the best 1-2 starters in the game, #3 starter Radke is 5-0 of late, and they have the leading hitter in baseball in Mauer and an 80 RBI guy in Morneau. Kent Hrbek was on the radio saying this team is a lot like the '87 team that won it all. 40:1 for WS right now also looks mighty tempting...
tell me a team that has better overall starting pitching? they may not lose a series the rest of the season with Santana-Liriano along with Radke stepping it up. Yes, Silva and 5th starter will lose 2 out of every 3 games.
If this club gets into the playoffs and the key guys stay healthy, look out.

I take it you are talking a short-term chase, say within the current series?
Boston - no way. Schiling looks good tomorrow, but that is pricey and if you have to chase with Snyder on Wednesday...ouch.
BrewCrew - both them and the Pirates are real streaky. Not a bad idea though as they should be able to take one more from the Bucs.
SF - I like this one. Giants should be able to take one if not two from the Nats. They are by far a better team and have favorable pitching matchups.
Minny - though a lot of people think Chicago is going to keep falling, I just have a feeling that they are going to respond soon enough and go on a tear to pull closer to the Tigers.
my two cents worth....chase the METS at home against the CUBS....
cisco has said that the METS have NOT been swept at home this season....

I have only been tracking the home series this season.
Some more info:
Minn/Tor have won game 1 or 2 of every home series.
Boston - Did not win until Game 3 only once (was a 4 game series)
Chicago WS - Did not win until Game 3 twice (their last 2 series at home)
Mets - Did not win until Game 3 once
