By looking at our picks after approximately 20 games of the season, I feel a little bit better about the Mets’ current 3-game losing streak. It’s easy to see that the Mets are not the only team dealing with problems. So, without futher adieu, let’s take a look at the standings after 1/8 of the season in the books:
Rick’s Picks: Results
D'backs over 87.5 wins (.540) 15 wins (.750)*
Orioles under 66 (.407) 11 wins (.550)
Reds over 78.5 (.485) 9 wins (.429)
Indians over 90.5 (.559) 8 wins (.400)
Tigers under 94.5 (.583) 8 wins (.381)*
Marlins under 68.5 (.423) 12 wins (.600)
Angels over 92.5 (.571) 12 wins (.571)
Dodgers under 87 (.537) 8 wins (.400)*
Mets over 93.5 (.577) 10 wins (.526)
Phillies under 88.5 (.546) 11 wins (.524)*
*4 are still on pace
Rainman's Picks: Results
Reds under 78.5 (.485) 9 wins (.429)*
Royals under 72.5 (.448) 7 wins (.583)
Angels under 92.5 (.571) 12 wins (.571)
Twins over 73 (.451) 10 wins (.500)*
Giants under 71.5 (.441) 8 wins (.381)*
Mariners over 84.5 (.522) 11 wins (.524)*
Cardinals under 77 (.475) 13 wins (.619)
Rays under 75 (.463) 9 wins (.450)*
Blue Jays under 85 (.525) 10 wins (.476)*
*6 teams on pace
Nothing changes for Rick, but Mike has a big week picking up the Jays, Rays and Mariners, but losing the Angels due to the push on the winning percentage. Rick is teetering right now and needs some help. Hopefully the Angels can continue their push to get on the happy side of .571. As these numbers will change, we will update the standings approximately 10 games from now.
