MLB Strength Index - a day late! Sorry, guys!


The San Francisco Giants made the biggest leap this week in taking four games at San Diego and completing 5-2 week at Los Angeles. Philadelphia has played there way back into wild card contention and moved up three spots to 18th. Seattle fell faster then an unbalanced cup of coffee, plummeting 8 positions to 26th, with all losses last week. Houston was not far behind in being swept by inept Cubs and splitting with Milwaukee. Yankees keep marching upward in spite of burden of too much juice and are now 5th overall.

(1) DETROIT [3] | Previous: (1) [3]
Units: +27.3 | Winning PCT: 0.637 | Run DIFF: +1.10
The Tigers caught Texas at the wrong time and did not hit for much scoring just 12 runs in four games. Detroit has now lost 9 of 12 and has four now extremely important games with Chicago this week. Possibly the tension of the pennant race is starting to take its toll, as Detroit at tallied 37 runs in last dozen contests. Most of the confidence has been eroded various Tigers hitters who are now less patient at the dish.


(2) NY METS [9] | Previous: (2) [7]
Units: +16.0 | Winning PCT: 0.610 | Run DIFF: +0.76
New York ended the week on a winning note in sweeping Colorado. The rest of the news was not so good with Tom Glavine awaiting a doctor’s report to see if he has a blood clot in his left hand or arm. His loss would be devastating to a team already thin in starting pitching. New York will host NL Central leader St. Louis, followed by Philadelphia. The Mets are 38-22 +7.1 units at Shea Stadium.


(3) MINNESOTA [12] | Previous: (4) [14]
Units: +19.1 | Winning PCT: 0.585 | Run DIFF: +0.61
The Twins did what was needed in winning series over Chicago to pull closer in the wild card race and still in contention for AL Central crown. Minnesota hits the road and with a winning start of the week could gain even more ground on the teams ahead especially if they split. After a miserable start to the season on the road, the Twins are 11-2 in recent games to be a respectable 28-21 as the visitor, coupled with the best home record in the majors.


(4) CHI WHITE SOX [12] | Previous: (3) [11]
Units: +5.6 | Winning PCT: 0.593 | Run DIFF: +0.79
With just six weeks left in the season, this could be a critical 7 days for the White Sox. After a losing weekend in Minnesota, Chicago heads to MoTown for four games with the Tigers. Winning that series would really place the heat on Detroit before heading home for revenge against Minnesota. The Sox destiny is clearly in there hands.


(5) NY YANKEES [16] | Previous: (6) [22]
Units: +0.3 | Winning PCT: 0.607 | Run DIFF: +0.93
A lot of managers would love to have the luxury of a 200M payroll, still props are necessary to Joe Torre for making sure his team comes to play each and everyday. The Bronx Bombers have taken over the major league lead in runs scored and are now 2nd in run differential. After completing series with Boston, the Yanks head west, where they are now 35-25, second best record in the AL.


(6) OAKLAND [23] | Previous: (7) [26]
Units: +13.4 | Winning PCT: 0.565 | Run DIFF: +0.14
The A’s lost a little focus in dropping a doubleheader at Kansas City before bouncing back to win final two games. Oakland’s 14-4 August run has been led by the pitching staff which now allows the 3rd fewest runs in baseball. The A’s have lost the services of closer Houston Street and will attempt to get by the remainder of the road without him. Pay attention with Oakland 34-28 +10.8 units.


(7) LA DODGERS [24] | Previous: (8) [28]
Units: +3.2 | Winning PCT: 0.532 | Run DIFF: +0.44
Big week for Los Angeles who controls their own destiny playing at the two teams directly behind them in standings, San Diego and Arizona. A number of reasons for the Dodgers miraculous turnaround, the obvious one has been the starting pitching, with the little known secret being the bullpen. After Eric Gagne went down in the spring, the bullpen blew more games apart then a category three hurricane. Slowly Grady Little pieced the puzzle together where the ERA is now in the low 4’s and the save percentage is a respectable 67.4%.


(8) BOSTON [28] | Previous: (5) [16]
Units: -0.4 | Winning PCT: 0.561 | Run DIFF: +0.33
The beauty or ugliness of sports is a team’s true colors are exposed over the entire season. For Boston an injury depleted starting staff kept finding ways to survive while Manny Ramierz and David Ortiz kept delivering clutch hits. The bullpen was the saving grace a good portion of the year. This all appears to going up in smoke, as the Red Sox have posted a 6-13 record in the dog days of summer’s last full month. As Boston heads to the Left Coast, they are .500 in the American League after posting 16-2 mark in inter-league play.


(9) TEXAS [29] | Previous: (10) [35]
Units: +2.7 | Winning PCT: 0.520 | Run DIFF: +0.36
Texas has heated up and is trying to stay in the AL West race with 9 wins in 11 games. Things have meshed for the Rangers who have scored enough runs when necessary and pitched well when needed. Texas travels south to cowering Tampa Bay for four, with make or break weekend series with Oakland. Texas will always hit in the bandbox home park, but the key this season is preventing the opposition from having the big innings, allowing the second fewest home runs.


(10) TORONTO [33] | Previous: (9) [30]
Units: -1.5 | Winning PCT: 0.532 | Run DIFF: +0.27
A mediocre week (3-3) against the dregs of the AL East has left Toronto in no-man’s land. Neither good enough to be among the elite or bad enough to consider rebuilding. The biggest positive is the Blue Jays are 38-24 at home and can wreck someone else’s post-season plans.


(11) LA ANGELS [37] | Previous: (13) [40]
Units: -1.7 | Winning PCT: 0.528 | Run DIFF: +0.16
After playing 24 consecutive days, the Angels got a well-deserved day off this past Monday. In the team’s pursuit to catch red-hot Oakland after sweeping Seattle, the week ahead is foreboding with AL East powers Boston and New York in town. The Halos float over the .500 mark at home over the weekend and will need continued inspired play at the “Big A” to catch Oakland.


(12) ARIZONA [38] | Previous: (11) [39]
Units: +3.4 | Winning PCT: 0.500 | Run DIFF: -0.06
Nine more games against divisional foes before September will go a long way in determining if the Snakes are ready for post-season play. Watch for starts from Miguel Batista on the road with him and D-Backs team-mates 10-4 + 9.6 units.


(13) CINCINNATI [42] | Previous: (15) [42]
Units: +3.3 | Winning PCT: 0.516 | Run DIFF: -0.19
Because of the lack of quality teams in the NL, the Reds are hanging around in spite of 7-7 record in last 14 games. Earlier in the season, the Reds were known for scoring outbursts that were followed by scoring droughts. Now the Reds seem to score 7 or more runs followed by 1 run the next day. Cincy can bury Houston once and for all to start the week before heading Frisco.


(14) ST LOUIS [45] | Previous: (16) [48]
Units: -9.2 | Winning PCT: 0.537 | Run DIFF: +0.10
Successful week at 4-2 in defeating both Cincinnati and Chicago. Nobody should be overly surprised the Cardinals are not running away with the division. The Redbirds farm system has been weak for six years and the replacements that have made it to the big leagues are not as good as their predecessors. If St. Louis can survive in New York, they will have long home stand against some the worst teams in the NL to open up a lead and improve on 35-24 home record.


(15) COLORADO [49] | Previous: (12) [39]
Units: -3.7 | Winning PCT: 0.476 | Run DIFF: +0.13
As the amount of sunshine decreases late with each passing day of summer so to does the Rockies chances of winning the West. A 3-0 thumping at the hands of the Mets as made the situation bleak. The old road bugaboo has taken Colorado out. After a 10-3 record on the road in April, the Rockies have gone 17-33. Another reason not to expect the Rocks to come back is a division worst record of 24-30.


(16) SAN DIEGO [50] | Previous: (14) [41]
Units: -7.5 | Winning PCT: 0.500 | Run DIFF: +0.02
Scoring a major league low 3.9 runs per game at home will not bring profits or good tidings. Not great news with Dodgers flying into town for three games. Best hope for Pads in underdog role, were at least they are 32-28 posting +8.8 units of profit.


(17) FLORIDA [53] | Previous: (17) [52]
Units: +1.1 | Winning PCT: 0.463 | Run DIFF: -0.18
Marlins playing out the string now, with future looking bright, be it in South Florida or not. Florida thankful only one game is during daytime this week with 20-27 record.


(18) PHILADELPHIA [53] | Previous: (21) [64]
Units: -12.2 | Winning PCT: 0.496 | Run DIFF: +0.15
The Phillies have worked back into wild card contention winning six of eight series. Management has shown the fans and team they have not thrown in the towel either in acquiring the ancient mariner Jamie Moyer. The Phillies offense has moved into the top spot in the senior circuit. Phils open up 10-game road trip, this is sure to be telling of Philadelphia if it is contender or pretender for wild card when September rolls along.


(19) CLEVELAND [58] | Previous: (20) [60]
Units: -20.3 | Winning PCT: 0.455 | Run DIFF: +0.48
Two facts on Cleveland, they are the lowest rated team in the Strength Index to have a positive runs scored/runs allowed differential and they are a “see ya at the soup kitcken” 32-50 in nights games -25.50 units.


(20) SAN FRANCISCO [60] | Previous: (25) [68]
Units: -9.5 | Winning PCT: 0.476 | Run DIFF: -0.07
Giants define ordinary with 18-18 record in one run games and 40-40 mark in night games. Barry Bonds wants to come back another year, YIPPEE!


(21) MILWAUKEE [63] | Previous: (23) [66]
Units: -8.8 | Winning PCT: 0.476 | Run DIFF: -0.66
It is absolutely amazing to review Milwaukee. The Brewers are 47-35 in games decided by 3 or less runs. In contests determined by 4 or more runs, hide the women and kids with 12-30 mark and a loss of -21.4 units.


(22) ATLANTA [63] | Previous: (22) [64]
Units: -16.3 | Winning PCT: 0.472 | Run DIFF: +0.11
As the Braves reign as NL East champs officially comes to an end sometime in September, Atlanta’s .500 record as a favorite tomahawked their chances in 2006.


(23) BALTIMORE [67] | Previous: (26) [75]
Units: -6.2 | Winning PCT: 0.444 | Run DIFF: -0.63
The Orioles had a winning week (4-2) for the first time since the week of May 8-14. Enough said about these Birds.


(24) HOUSTON [67] | Previous: (19) [60]
Units: -19.9 | Winning PCT: 0.476 | Run DIFF: -0.07
The Astros are now 28th in worst teams to wager on at -19.9 units. Big part of the problem for Houston has been 5-6 record when favored by -200 or more, with 24th ranked offense in runs scored.


(25) WASHINGTON [69] | Previous: (24) [68]
Units: -7.9 | Winning PCT: 0.435 | Run DIFF: -0.63
With six more road contests to play this week, the Nationals 24-40 record as visitor is unlikely to improve. The first four on the trip are at night, were Washington is 24-40.


(26) SEATTLE [73] | Previous: (18) [56]
Units: -12.9 | Winning PCT: 0.452 | Run DIFF: -0.26
The Mariners take a tumble in Strength Index, with 11 straight road losses. All the defeats were at the hands of division opponents and have now lost 20 games in a row to AL West foes. Seattle is one short of tying the franchise record of shutouts in a season. (15)


(27) KANSAS CITY [74] | Previous: (27) [77]
Units: -1.6 | Winning PCT: 0.357 | Run DIFF: -1.43
The Royals swept a doubleheader, marking just the 10th time Kansas City has won at least two games in a row this year. Did you realize the Royals have been favored 3 times all season?


(28) CHICAGO CUBS [79] | Previous: (29) [82]
Units: -11.6 | Winning PCT: 0.431 | Run DIFF: -0.94
Chicago is 7-14 against the NL East and face the Phillies four times. Three of the games are being played under the lights at Wrigley Field, what happened to day baseball?


(29) TAMPA BAY [80] | Previous: (28) [78]
Units: -10.6 | Winning PCT: 0.395 | Run DIFF: -1.02
Tampa Bay is 5-13 this month and takes on Texas who is playing some of their best baseball of the season. At least the D-Rays are 31-30 at home generating +7.3 units of profit.


(30) PITTSBURGH [86] | Previous: (30) [84]
Units: -22.0 | Winning PCT: 0.379 | Run DIFF: -0.68
OF Jason Bay leads the Pirates in home runs, RBI’s and runs scored. The only other aspect of note is Pittsburgh is 2-9 in road series since June 1.

Six-Pack for Wednesday

-- Mike Montgomery takes $5 million and walks away from the Warriors; he also jumps to near the top of every athletic director's wish list for coaches, when heads start rolling next spring. Montgomery did a great job at Stanford, and will be in demand next spring.

-- With his buddy Bill Walker not playing high school ball this year, rumors persist that that basketball star OJ Mayo will transfer back home to Huntington (WV) for his senior year. ESPN has offered to televise a Huntington game this winter, even though no one in town has seen Mayo yet.

-- Rivals.com has OJ Mayo ranked as the #5 hoopster in Class of '07; I saw the kid play four times in Orlando last month, and while he's no Lebron James, if there are four better seniors-to-be than Mayo, then I'm going on safari with Angelina Jolie fairly soon. He is very, very good.

-- In his last four starts, Esteban Loaiza has allowed one earned run in 30.2 IP; this from a guy who couldn't get his fastball over 82 mph in May.

-- Jose Reyes is first baseball player in 61 years to hit 15+ triples in consecutive seasons.

-- Eagles seriously upgraded their WRs when they traded for Donte' Stallworth. It might be enough to put them back atop the NFC East.

Wednesday's List of 13: Preseason look at the Jets

13) I don't think anyone connected with Jets was terribly sad to see Herm Edwards bolt for Arrowhead; he seems like great guy, but its not like he's Vince Lombardi or anything. Under Edwards, Jets were good when they forced turnovers and created short fields for the offense; when that didn't happen, things fell apart. Now, with new coach in Mangini, a new chapter begins with the team rebuilding as it tries to get out from the weight of salary cap problems.

12) Jets were 1-12 last year when they allowed 13+ points; they ran for 100+ yards once in first half of season. Turnover ratio, usually a Jets' strength under Edwards, was even in first half of season, -5 after that. Mangini has a lot of work to do.

11) First thing he'll have to do is find way to win on road; Jets were 0-8 on foreign soil last year, with only the Week 15 loss at Miami by less than 10 points. In other words, if you had gone against Jets in their first seven road games last year, you'd be driving a Cadillac right now.

10) Jets were outscored 38-10 on games' first drives last year; their 19.9 yds per drive on opening drive ranked 30th in NFL.

9) With all the problems at QB, Jets scored only 21 TD's on 161 drives last year (13.0%, 28th); they turned ball over 33 times, making them one of 13 NFL teams with less offensive TD's than giveaways.

8) To me, Pennington is this generation's Pat Haden (Ram QB in late 70's, early 80's); he is short, lacks big arm, tries to disprove that he has weak arm, and is very, very smart. He can get you to playoffs, but he won't get you to Super Bowl.

7) Gang Green opponents converted 41.5% on third down (29th) which shows that when they weren't forcing turnovers, they weren;t very good. Mangini is a defensive guy, so he should improve that side of ball immediately

6) How will Mangini do against Belichick, his mentor? Last year, Jets were outrushed 297-81 in their two games vs New England. Brady converted 17-34 on third down vs Jets.

5) Home side was 5-1 in Jets' AFC East games last year, with NY beating Dolphins, Bills at home. In their four wins, Jets allowed 7-12-10-26 points (they were +4 in turnovers in Week 17 win over Buffalo (30-26)).

4) Jets acquired RB Barlow from 49ers to help make up for loss of the great RB Martin, who is out for the year. Pennington will start season under center, but it is apparent that coaches like Oregon QB Clemens, who has had good summer despite missing last part of '05 Ducks' season with a broken ankle.

3) QB Pennington is hurt a lot; last year, they started four different QBs in first six weeks of season. Jets' first two draft picks were offensive linemen, setting up a foundation for the next decade; they took Clemens, their QB of future, passing on Matt Leinart. Jets drafted Brad Smith from Missouri, whom the Rams passed on because they didn't think he was into the idea of being a "slash" player, but still wanted to remain QB.

2) The schedule looks like this: two winnable road games (Titans, Bills) in first three weeks, but first two home games are Patriots, Colts- they visit Foxboro after a Week 9 bye, and they visit Lambeau Dec 3, which isn't as much fun as Christmas night in Miami.

1) If Mangini treats the media like Belichick does, will be interesting to see how that goes over in New York. Edwards knew a sinking ship when he saw one, so he bolted for Kansas City. Jets need to straighten out their salary cap, settle on QB for future. As for 2006, rebuilding is the theme, but they seem to have some building blocks.

LA Angels at Seattle
A big reason why the Mariners are at the bottom of the A.L. West is how Mike Hargrove's team has fared against most of the division competition. The one exception is the Angels. Against Oakland and Texas, Seattle is a woeful 3-23; but against L.A. the Mariners are a respectable 9-9 including taking the first two games of the current series behind strong pitching from Felix Hernandez and Jarrod Washburn. Overall Seattle has now won six straight and has a solid shot at keeping the streak going behind rookie pitcher Jake Woods (4-1, 3.59), who has 2.79 ERA in four appearances against the Halos this season. By contrast, L.A. starter John Lackey is 0-2 with a 9.74 ERA in four starts against Seattle this year. The M's look like a nice underdog play in this one according to Dunkel, which has Seattle favored straight up by 1. Dunkel Pick: Seattle (+1 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

South Carolina at Mississippi State
Steve Spurrier proved that he could still coach at the college level last season when he took a struggling South Carolina program to a 7-5 record and an appearance in the Independence Bowl. Along the way the Gamecocks registered impressive wins against Tennessee (road), Arkansas (road) and his old Florida team (home), while barely losing to Georgia (17-15) on the road. Against the weaker teams in the SEC (Kentucky, Vanderbilt), South Carolina won both by a combined margin of 79-44. That's the situation the Gamecocks find themselves in on Thursday night when they open against lower-rated Mississippi State. While coach Sylvester Croom built a solid defense (29th nationally in total defense ), the result was only two wins against Div. I opponents (Tulane, Ole Miss). Against the top tier of the conference (Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Florida), the Bulldogs lost by an average margin of 24.25 points. South Carolina is not in that crowd yet, but the Gamecocks appear to have enough to cover the Vegas line of 6 according to Dunkel, which has SC favored by 13. Dunkel Pick: South Carolina (-6). Here are all of this week's Division I and I-AA games.
