Of course I am. They've shown the most mettle of any team in that division and I see nothing changing that. Could the A's finish second? Sure. I just don't foresee it. All season the A's have been plagued with injury yet have still managed a better record than Anaheim. Not to mention the Angels got a tough schedule before the division games. BOS, NYY, SEA, DET, BAL, TOR, CWS. Youch. Granted the A's have a tough schedule too but have teams like the D-Rays and Indians in the mix.
Penny is a great marquee pitcher. So is Santana of the Twins. It takes more than one guy to win however. Then again that may be all it takes in the NL this year.
Detroit not a factor? While they've cooled they still own the best record in baseball. Pretty impressive batting lineup and some quality starters in Bonderman, Rogers, Verlander.
Yankees I can believe; you have to convince me on the Angels. What evidence do you have in support of them?
