    Royals...

    Shields, Guthrie, and Santana is a good trio for playoff baseball...

    Cardinals should win the NL central and at 14-1 are solid and would be my first choice.
    Royals 20-1 ain't bad if they trade for a SP. Guthrie / Santana would be +140 in any playoff game they start.
    Rays 28-1 or Dbacks 40-1 would be my other choices.

    forgot about the Dbacks. Very solid team and still very underrated.

    very reasonable pick. Cabrera picking up where he left off very solid pitching rotation. At the moment can't really see anyone else winning the American League.

    I like the Cardinals future a little bit. At first i was really dissapointed in them for not re-signing Lohse but Miller has been outstanding. ( except for the one time i bet on him, got lit up by the Pirates and they didn't even have McCutchen in the line-up. )

    Its funny you mention only the Tigers from the AL , so you think the Tigers got that pretty much locked up? what about Texas Rangers ... do u think they pose a threat?

    As far the Reds.. i kinda feel like they are a great regular season team b/c they run a solid starter out there every night, have a great bullpen and a decent line-up.

    But they are not hitting that great right now. But i don't know if they have world series potential just b/c Latos and Cueto are not really the same caliber aces as a Verlander, Darvish, Kershaw etc.....

    If Seattle made the playoffs they might make some noise with Iwakuma and king felix but i don't see them getting there.

    Detroit has no bullpen. Verlander and scherzer can't go into the 8th every game in the playoffs. They're a lock for the playoffs, but odds aren't giving you any value as the playoff system makes it a crapshoot for every team that makes it

    true. who would have thought the giants would have won last year after being down 2-0 against the reds in a best of 5... especially going to cincinnati down 2-0

    The main way I profit from MLB futures, is hedging. For instance, Tigers last year at +2000 right before they landed Fielder, gave me a real nice ability to hedge out for profit.

    Tigers at 6-1 doesn't leave much hedging room.

    Cardinals solid offense, 5 starters in the top 35 in ERA, and experience. Biggest flaw is a closer.

    Unless he finds a way to bet two teams at less than even money, I fail to see how that's relevant.
