PinnacleSports.com Releases Odds On Cardinals Superstar Making Baseball History
WILLEMSTAD, CURACAO (May 25, 2006)?The Cardinals Albert Pujols was already considered one of the best players in baseball today, but after his remarkable start to the 2006 season, he?s now being compared to some of the games all-time greats. Only 47 games into St. Louis? season, Pujols leads the Major League in homeruns with 23, RBIs with 57 while compiling an impressive .323 batting average. With Albert Pujols in position to join one of baseball?s most exclusive clubs, PinnacleSports.com today announced odds on the St. Louis first baseman winning the National League Triple Crown.
The largest sports betting site on the Internet, PinnacleSports.com has created a unique betting option on Albert Pujols becoming the first player since Joe Medwick in 1937 to lead the National League in batting average, homeruns and RBIs in the same season. Although he currently leads the NL by a large margin in HRs and RBIs while being in contention in batting average, the oddsmakers believe it?s a long shot Pujols will close the season leading all three categories, listing the chances of a Triple Crown occurring at 5/1 odds. Considering it?s only May and the feat hasn?t been accomplished in either league since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, the much more likely scenario is that Pujols won?t become the 13th player in league history to win the Triple Crown which is listed at 2/13 odds. In addition to the Triple Crown betting option, PinnacleSports.com has also created odds on Pujols hitting 60 or more homeruns this season, currently listing the slugger at 5/4 to surpass the milestone.
?With Albert Pujols on pace for an unprecedented 81 homeruns and 200 RBI season, there?s little doubt the Triple Crown watch will begin very soon,? said Simon Noble of PinnacleSports.com. ?While he?s not currently leading the NL in batting average, his career average of .332 would put Pujols in the thick of the batting title race as well. Although history and the odds are against him, if any modern day player were going to capture the first Triple Crown in nearly 40 years, Pujols would be the best bet.?
