Giants crush the Cubs 15-4 after beating them yesterday 6-1.
Once again, clear on top with a 92 -50 record .... whoever wrote that 96-66 prediction in the Mercury must be under a big rock right now.
Dodgers 3 games behind having gone 4-4 from their last 8 games, including 2 surprise loses to the Cardinals. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Giants take the game (6-5) and series 3-0 against the Cubs.
Follows on from a 3-0 sweep against the Rockies and a 2-1 series win over the Dodgers.
Getting some real good touch at the plate too, scoring 74 runs from the last 10 games, whilst only conceding 35.
3 games clear at the top of the table with 19 games before the finals start.
10 v Padres, 7 Home, 3 away (6th 74-68 )
3 v Rockies, 3 Home(10th 66-78 )
3 v Braves, 3 Home (4th 76-66 )
3 v Diamondbacks, 3 Home (last 47-96 ) _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Finally... they're starting to believe.
The Giants are headed back to the playoffs!
It is September 14th and the San Francisco Giants have already secured a playoff appearance, with 18 games left to play. Which is most assuredly not a sentence anyone expected to be writing or reading at the beginning of the season. And the team isn’t letting anyone forget it.

Giants give LA a sniff, dropping their last 2 against the San Diego Padres at home. Short favourites in both games they never looked like winning either of them, going down 6-9 & 4-7.
A tough 3 game series against the Atlanta Braves awaits the Giants.
The Braves are one of those sides the Giants struggle against with the former holding a 7-3 advantage from the last 10 meetings between the two sides.
Atlanta too are coming off a couple of losses in games they would have expected to win against the lowly Rockies.
A very interesting last 2.5 weeks of the regular season ahead.
The Dodgers have a 3 game series against the Reds, before 6 games against 2 of the bottom teams; Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

What a great win! It's worth watching the highlights on the link
SAN FRANCISCO -- It was September baseball at its finest on Friday night at Oracle Park.
Donovan Solano crushed a game-tying home run with two outs in the ninth inning, and right-hander Kevin Gausman delivered a walk-off sacrifice fly to lift the Giants to a stunning 6-5 win over the Braves in 11 innings.
With the win, the Giants improved to a Major League-best 96-52 and created more separation over the Dodgers, who lost to the Reds, 3-1, on Friday.

4 games to go. Giants 2 games clear at the top of the table.
Dodgers are going to have to get over the red hot (won 20 of their last 21) Cardinals in a Wild card series to have a shot at the title.
Dodgers staged an amazing comeback against the Padres yesterday. Down 5-9 in the 7th they scored 6 in the last 2 innings to win 11-9. They drifted out to $17.50 at one stage.
The Seattle Mariners @ 150/1 are worth a $5 wager. They've won 9 of their last 10 and have 3 games against the LA Angels to round out the season. They need the Red Sox to drop one against the Washington Nationals to sneak into a wild card spot. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Giants seal top spot in the National the league with an11-4 win over the Padtes.
LA have to get over the Cardinals in the wild card play-off if they want to meet the Giants.
Tampa Bay Rays tops the American league. They will play the winner of the wild card series, Red Sox v Yankees.
Brewers v Braves
Astos v White Sox.
I'm almost guaranteed coming out in front from this World Series with my early wagers

Odds going into the play-offs..
Dodgers $4
Giants $6
Rays $6.50
Astros $6.50
White Sox $8
Brewers $9
Yankees $13
Braves $15
Red Sox $15
Cardinals $21
How the Dodgers are still favourite I find quite baffling. I think the Cardinals will knock them out in the wild card series. _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

Wild card games.
Boston ($2) v Yankees ($1.83)@ Fenway park 6/10.
Dodgers ($1.42)v Cardinals ($2.89) @ Dodger stadium 7/10.
If the Red Sox and the Cardinals both get up (which I think is a BIG chance), I'll have 4 of the final 8 teams covered _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |
