Help me PLEASE

[Rink]

I was visiting another site and these were the teams listed as the bottom of the barrell:
AL NL
CLEV CIN
DET COLO
KC LAD
TBAY MIL
TEX MONT
NYM
PITT

After my 2-4 performance yesterday - I've learn there's a long way to go with my limited knowledge of handicapping baseball.
Any help would be appreciated.

the only ones I would even consider for bottom of the barrell

are cincy, detroit and maybe milw...

No way clev, dodgers or col should be on this list...

KC has an excellent shot at winning their division. Albeit a very weak division, but the Royals certainly aren't a bottom team.

Tampa, Cincy, Detroit are all going to be weak, but I don't think the Tigers will approach last season's futility. Tampa has the misfortune of playing 19 games each vs. Boston, NYY, Toronto and Baltimore. A tough schedule for a very young team to gain confidence with.

Texas will be very, very bad. Lost its best pitcher in Thompson and a good chunk of offense with Arod and Raffy (Gonzalez too, but he was hurt a lot). The Rangers have some decent, young bats in the lineup and got Soriano (who I suspect will be dealt near the deadline for pitching prospects), but not anything close to enough to offset the dismal pitching.

I suggest you watch a couple weeks of real games before doing much, if any, wagering. With so many games daily over April-May-June-July-August-September, there will be plenty of wagering opportunities so IMO its best to get a feel of how the teams are doing out of the gate.
