The Toronto Bluejays are either going to be a very exciting team in 2006 or a very mediocre underachieving team. They made a lot of offseason moves that should catapult them to the top of the American League. It is just unfortunate that the Yankees and Red Sox are teams they will have to contend with just to win their division.

The Orioles came out of the gates strong in 2005 but died down. The same could happen to the Blue Jays. If they come out to a fast start and start to slump, then be weary of their odds and start considering to bet against them.

These Bluejays have won their backers money in 3 of the past 4 seasons. They have been an under-the-radar type of team but I think this year will change all that. The Yankees may struggle this season and it will either be the BlueJays or the Orioles that contend with the Red Sox for the AL East.

In the 2005 season, the Bluejays against the odds played equally well on the road than at home. They played equally well against lefties than righties. There were no glaring statistics other than the fact that they were undervalued by an average of 10 points as a dog in 2005. As a road dog against division rivals, they were 15-13 +10 units last season. That is an average of 36 points off what the true line should be.

San Francisco Giants Handicapping: 2006 Season Preview
The Giants are probably going to be on my list of teams to look to bet on. They had a disappointing 75-87 season last year but that was because Bonds did not play the entire season. These Giants have won their backers money in every season for the previous 6 seasons. A total of 91 units!With Bonds expected back in 2006, they will more likely resemble the Giants that won their backers money than the losers of last year. With a weak National League...

Texas Rangers Handicapping: 2006 Season Preview
After finishing the 2004 season 16 games above 500, the Rangers sputtered through the 2005 season and finished 4 games below 500.

Baltimore Orioles Handicapping: 2006 Season Preview
The Orioles had a great start to the 2005 Baseball season. At the 40 game mark, they were 26-14 +10 units. Even I thought they could contend with the Yankees and Red Sox for the division. The Yankees were playing bad and the Red Sox looked poised for a letdown. Too bad. But how did their strong start resonate with bettors the rest of the season?Most people continued betting on them. In fact, they ended the season 48-74 -31 units. Since the initia...
