    I never put much faith in those. I mean both Chicago teams have nice little clubs but IMO they're placed way to high on that list.

    Scratching my head, where do "they" have Boston tied for the 3rd best odds with that pitching staff of theirs? (chuckle)


    Also - I know the objective is to win the WS and NOT how many wins a team has but, as a Yankee fan, I think it'll be kinda interesting to see how many (if any) of those teams with better odds win less games than the Yankees.

    Lol

    Welp, maybe I feel happy and want to wager the Yanks win more games than the Redsox.

    Hey kids, don't gamble.

    I'll throw my two cents on about Boston. In a weak division and what some feel is a weak AL. People feel even with average pitching they can slug their way to a playoff spot. That being said Vegas would love for a popular fan base like that to throw tons of money at the Red Sox. Hence the intriguing odds placed by the sports book.

    Nationals are primed to win it this year you would think. They're loaded when healthy and there seems to be a lot of weakness around the league as opposed to juggernauts.

    ...gotta believe that if the Sox don't get off to a fast start and/or that their current starters exhibit suckage, you'll see them cave in and trade for Hamels.

    I could certainly see that as Hamels landing spot.

    I can't see Boston being rated so high with that very questionable pitching staff.

    Yep.
    Of course, the "odds" are set by the amount of money coming in on one team or another.

    If a trillion people are betting on a particular team, the odds makers obviously have to set some "parameters" in order to improve their chances of winning-

    "odds"!
