As a baseball fan - and I yankee fan i have a built in bias-

but

I will say i have a decent opinion on day to day to games. As the playoffs start i will give out some writeups on who i think will win and why.

As for the futures odds that are out there now - I think for those who like Oak and Det or the White Sox you have fair prices - the Yankees will always never have good odds to take -

Therefore a good play right now , just based on the odds would be to take the team from Flushing at 7/2. They have a much easier road to the world series than the Yanks. I think if you locked in the Mets now at 7/2 or 3.5/1 you would be in good shape and would be able to hedge the AL team in the WS and guarantee yourself a profit. I think if it was yanks vs mets , the yanks would be favorites , but not HUGE favorites say -130 vs +110. In this scenario you could guarantee yourself a profit. Now if the Yanks don't make it , I feel the mets would be slight fav's or even against other AL teams and then you could make a lot of $$$ either way. The key is for the Mets to make the WS out of a weak NL.

good luck - ytd 27-17
