American League Title MLB Pick

When it comes to picking a winner in the American League this MLB season, I’d like to believe I’ve got a ‘stone cold lock’ for the 2012 campaign.  Do all the homework you like, research until your blue in the face but I can save you a ton of time and money—and provide you with plenty of green, if you’ll just see red. My advice is to take the red clad Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim who not only will win the American League pennant but will capture the World Series.

MLB Picks: American League Central Preview

Not only did the Tigers make a huge splash when they signed Prince Fielder to a nine-year, $214 million dollar contract, they became a huge betting favorite in the American League. Fielder, Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander (not necessarily in that order) give Detroit three of the top players in the majors and will make them hard to beat over the course of a season. Only the Angels and perhaps the Rangers have the talent and depth to match and both of those teams would be favored in a short series.

Texas Rangers futures: MLB odds

One strike away. Twice. The Texas Rangers vowed shortly after Game 5 of the 2010 World Series that they'd return and win it next time. They nearly had their hands on that trophy coming within one strike of winning on two different occasions. Losses are part of the landscape but the Rangers stinging Game 6 defeat is in a class all its own. One can only imagine the disappointment of coming so close only to lose.
