Every over went over by like 5-8 runs. Tonight? Overall are 11-2. And most aren't even close. I think a couple things are in play. The balls are juiced. I also think the pitching is just terrible. The starters are bad. And the middle relief is even worse. Most teams can't throw 3 guys in a row without one of them getting hammered. Every game there's at least one team that seems to put up 6+ runs. I'd like to hear the thoughts of some of the other cappers on this. Maybe just go over on the entire board every night. I'm bewildered by why I see Mets and Nats totals at 8.5 routinely. They should be at 10 or 10.5 I mean it's a joke. Even when the first 5 goes under, there will be a 7 run inning later in the game.

MLB has however put itself in a precarious position of needing to shorten games CAUSED BY juiced balls.
I think the talk has heightened about needing to shorten games about post 2015 all star game break.
The unfortunate thing is that MLB is going to make drastic changes to the game which may have dire consequences on fan attendance/tv viewership when ALL THEY HAVE TO DO is go back to the days of pre-helium baseballs.
