N.L. west Update: Giants Swoon

On the day before the All-Star game, my post on the even year San Francisco Giants appeared on the fine MLB.com website.

While the Giants had the best record in baseball, I warned that at even money, playing off the fact the Giants have won the last three “even year” crowns, I would bet they would not “title” this season.

That point is obvious, as any team would get some odds to win the title, at this point.

Now it is possible the Giants, (2-11) in the 2 week period since beginning play after the All-Star break, may not win the N.L. West, they now lead by just one game over the L.A. Dodgers.
