World Series odds

[SCUDSBROTHER]

NY Yankees 5/2 (team simply has not got the starting pitching to win the World Series.....Even the Halos get enough runs off them to win..A team who has top starters will simply not lose a series to this team in the post.This bet is probably the worst sports bet ever.)


NY Mets 7/2 (probably will have the same problem in the post as the Yanks.I would play them before I would the Yanks though.)


DET Tigers 6/1 (possibility)

CHI White Sox 8/1(who the f knows)

OAK Athletics 9/1 (the probable World Series Champions...I've watched almost every game since the break,and it has been very painful indeed.Doubt anybody beats this team for the top prize.Serious Injuries can change this,but they are probably not going to happen.)

MIN Twins 9/1(would be my 2nd choice...better chances if they had Liriano.)

STL Cardinals 10/1 (No)


LA Dodgers 16/1 (Not out of the realm,but not probable.I love them,and they have the 3 or 4 starters that could be tough,but they have simply never shown the ability to hit good pitching,and the starters pitch much better when given leads early.)

I would bet the White Sox and the A's, with maybe a token saver bet on the Dodgers. Those are very good odds as I would be strongly against bith NY teams.

Got a chance to watch Detroit and form a decent opinion on them. They are obviously for real. Good young pitching, experienced back stop and leyland knows how to get it done. They would be my choice and 6-1 is rather tasty for the likely top seed.

I agree with much of what you have said here. The yanks at 5-2 are an awful bet and although im a fan im a much bigger fan of my wallet. Even the most crazed of Yank fans has to see the hole in the pitching. Not impossible for them to win it all as they do have an amazing lineup but cant see them getting it done.

I agree about the Yankees, but I am not nearly sold on the Tigers getting it done and think they are a pretty dicey bet, even at 6/1, with pretty much a guarntee that they will be there playing, unlike my choice, the White Sox, who still need to play very well just to get in. But if they do get in, I think they suddenly become favored to win it all. I've watched them quite a bit this year, and while they are puzzling at times, when the real season starts, I think they come out on top.

The A's scare me and I think realistically are the only team that can deny the White Sox. At 9/1 that is a great bet. With $200, heres what I would do:
$140 win White Sox
$40 win A's
$20 win Dodgers

By the way,I think that Pinacle has the A's at 11.7/1..If people see better prices on the teams listed,please post.

Kev, you being a Pinnacle customer, you should get on that. 11/1 on them is mighty generous.
