There was so many huge moves made in the off-season in the way of trades and free agent pickups, the 2008 major league baseball season promises to be a year filled with excitement and opportunity.
Let us now go over three of many interesting teams that may be worthy of your 2008 baseball picks:
The Detroit Tigers: Several of the MLB betting experts are predicting that Detroit will dominate the Central Division this season. This is mainly due to the addition of Willis and Cabrera on top of a batting lineup that was already powerful. While Miguel Cabrera shouldn't have much trouble adjusting to the speed of AL fast balls, the pitching of Dontrell Willis has been questionable from the end of "07" through the preseason. Many of the experts believe that the key to Detroit's overall success is pitching. With Willis struggling as of late, the team's best weapon on the mound has to be Justin Verlander. The bullpen is stocked with talent and uncertainty as quality pitchers like Nate Robertson and Kenny Rogers are banged up with injuries. Even with a few holes, Detroit's offensive lineup still resembles a modern day dream team. There is a chance that the Tigers can become your preferred free baseball pick of the season.
Chicago White Sox: Remember this: a team does not have to put up huge numbers to make a good pick. The key to sports betting is consistency - the White Sox could be the team that helps you win big. Chicago is no slouch, but the team's pitching leaves a bit to be desired. They do have a few new additions that offer promise including the leadership of Orlando Cabrera, along with the bullpen experience of Octavio Dotel and Scot Linebrink. The experts have predicted that the White Sox will only win 78 games this season. By winning a mere 10% more of the total, Chicago could prove to be a very profitable team.
Kansas City Royals: Many teams made good free picks in the world of sports betting last season; not because they were good, but because they played better than predicted by the experts. Kansas City could be a team that produces similar results this season. The team has a new coach in Trey Hillman and loads of young talent. Alex Gordon is certainly capable of promise after a mediocre rookie season while Jose Guillen brings strength and experience to the ball club. This team has already began the 2008 MLB season with two victories over Detroit. Watch out ... Kansas City just may be able to put some money in your pocket.
