Week 10: Detroit Tigers

Baltimore Orioles

These scores were as of Thursday morning, so none of the Thursday or Friday games are factored in here. Scores have actually changed quite a bit since then and it will be interesting to see where things wrap up after tomorrow's games.

Here is the pick chart. It's time to start thinking Week 12. Get you picks in by Noon (EST) on Sunday!

Week 12: NY Mets.

Week 12: Chicago Cubs

Figures when I take my most hated team, they shit the bed. Thanks for nothing, Cardinals.

Also NY Mets, please.

LA Angels for me this week.

Having just watched the Mariners offense for a few days, I am a bit scared and want to pick them this week.

Seattle Mariners

The gave me an awesome week when I picked them.

Seattle Mariners

Sorry Sloonei, picks were due by Noon (EST) on Sunday, so I randomized a team for you for the week. Seems like a number of people failed to get their picks in this time. I'm updating the scores now for my Week 11 final post.

Week 11 is in the books. I hit pay dirt with the Toronto Blue Jays but it wasn't enough for me to catch either S~V~S or MM. There's still a gap between the top three and everyone else but it only take one or two weeks to overhaul the standings.

Week 11 Team Picks:
AllAlongTheBoardwalk- PITTSBURGH PIRATES*

There's a little drama in the air this week. Seven people failed to get their picks in to me on time, including the players in 1st, 4th, and 5th place after Week 11. We'll see if the randomized team selection makes a difference this week or in the long run.

I made a good pick this week.

Yeah, you and MM weren't hurt by the randomizer. Most of us who actually got our picks in on time aren't doing so hot.

Here's the chart. Get your picks in by noon on Sunday (EST)!

I'll go with the LA Dodgers this week. Not feeling great about it, but we'll see.

13 runs given up to the San Diego Padres. Soggiest lasagna of all time.

Week 13: Kansas City Royals

Toronto, please

Washington Nationals

Houston Astros

i'll take arizona if i'm not too late again

Sorry bro, late again. The randomizer gave you Detroit for this week. I'll get all the details up this afternoon.

It was a bit of a meh kind of week for four of the top five, allowing most of the other players to make up a little round. AllAlongTheBoardWalk and Turnip Head tied for the weekly win, so there are now just two players who have yet to be weekly winners. Perhaps one of them will take the prize this week. We're also just about halfway through the season, so it will be interesting to see whose picks pay off down the stretch as our options grow more and more limited.

Apologies for being absent on this! It's been super busy as of late and I was out of town over the weekend. Hopefully my random pick will work out well enough! I pick with very little knowledge anyway so it likely will do better if anything. :P
