Group A - Dodgers living up to their by far the best status.
Dodgers 2-0, 20-5 run differential
Nationals 0-1, 0-4 run differential
Athletics 0-1, 5-16 run differential
Group B - interesting we talked about was a shocker the Red Sox opening win was against the Braves, but when we looked at the ESPN preseason rankings they actually had the Red Sox above the Braves, so perhaps not so surprising they beat them using projected cards.
Red Sox 1-0, 8-1 runs
Rangers 0-0, 0-0 runs
Braves 0-1, 1-8
Group C - Likewise in ESPN preseason the Mets were 6th and the Yankees 3rd, so not a huge update, and of course the Marlins upset was big but they likewise eliminted the Mets last game of the season last year.
New York Mets 1-0 (scoring margin 6-3)
Miami Marlins 1-0 - (margin 1-0)
New York Yankees 0-2 (scoring margin 3-7)
Group D - Tampa was ranked No. 5 in MLB so no surprise to see them atop so far.
Tampa 1-0, runs 3-0
Cincinnati 1-1, runs 4-3
Houston 0-1, runs 0-4
Group C Update
The Yankees got a 2nd chance to avoid an 0-2 start in pool play when realized the Milwaukee rather than Miami pitching staff has been used against them in Cole's ultimate hard luck loss 1-0 on an unearned run.
Anazingly ...
arlins lefty ace Braxton Garrett repeated the shut out with the help of three actual relievers.
The Yankees only chance to adcance from the 3-team poll is now if the Marlins and Mets split their two games, and then the Yankees beat them both and win the tiebreaker by allowing the fewest runs in pool play. The Yankees get to go against both No. 4 pitchers since they faced both aces.
