caulfield12 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) found this story from last fall when I was doing some research, I wasn't surprised in the least that none of the teams that climbed all the way back in to make the playoffs didn't win the World Series....including last year's Sox team, well, there's always a first time, right??? http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ys-f...comebacks081809 A couple of teams they didn't mention because they were already 5-10 games over .500 at the All-Star Break. 2006 Minnesota Twins, 26-33 (low point, actually this year's team at 11 games under .500 NOW is the all-time worst record for a Twins' team under Gardenhire) 11.5-12 GB 47-39 at ASB 70-33 record to finish the season 2009 Colorado Rockies, 31-33 low point, 11.5 GB 47-41 at ASB 61-37 record to finish the season 2005 Houston Astros, started 15-30/21-35 (low point was 16 GB) ASB 44-43 Finished the season on a 68-38 run Edited May 12, 2011 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 http://www.baseballprospectus.com/odds/ Right now, the Tigers are the clear favorites to win the division. The only one that surprised me was the Royals finishing at 70-92. Don't think that will happen. They should win in the mid 70's. They have the Sox pegged at 79.5-82.5 for the season, but I guess that would be almost exactly .500 after last night's late result is added in.
