Losing all

Anyone else shopping around for these? I don't post picks here, but I'll post some of these for you sharps to kick the hell out of.
Crud division- The NL west is a joke of underachievement. SD will probably win by default, not that any of these teams deserves the playoffs.
standings
SD 48-41
ARIZ 43-47 -5.5
LA 40-48 -7.5
SF 37-50 -10
col, why bother
picks and reasons
Ariz over 75.5 wins -118 (pinny) I don't like this team much, but considering they have many games to come against their weak division I think this is a real value. They only need to play 33-39 from here on out
also
Ariz +850 to win the NL west (5 dimes). 5.5 back, so this is a longshot, not 85/10 longshot though. LA has played like crap since game 14, and now the whole team is hurt. Not turf toe, no chance of contending hurt. This is a two (bad) team race, and the juice is nice.
NL east- I think ATL will win, I went into today looking to bet them. My picks go against that feeling based on the odds given.
Standings
Wash 52-36
Atl 50-39 -2.5
Flo 44-42 -7
Phi 45-44 -7.5
NYM 44-44 -8
picks and reasons
Wash +360 (5 D) This is strictly based on the number (pinny is +232 for example) They could easily finish 3rd, maybe lower. Lots of rumors of Frank shopping for a big bat though, and if you think they're good for winning 1 time in 4 from this position you earn sklansky bux on the play.
Bridge jumper #1- Looking back to preseason I really liked Minn, and I still do. I thought they'd have an easier time of their division than STL or Ana, wrong. Strange things can happen in baseball, but the sox won this thing several weeks ago.
standings
CHI 57-29
Minn 48-38 -9
Cle 47-41 =11
pick, Sox at -640 (5 D)
Bridge jumper #2- Stl has an even bigger lead (hou -11.5, cubs -12.5) and a better team. I don't have the funds to pull the trigger. If I did I'd lay the -1820 at pinny
another non-bet for me, mostly due to hate. NYY+158 to win the AL east (5 D). Balt had their fun, this is a 2 team race now. Bos has a 2.5 game edge at the moment, is that worth +158? I doubt it.
