    Red Sox +570 to win WS

    Just put two units on this.

    1) Best lineup in baseball... everyone works counts and wears pitchers down... they hit every kind of pitching.

    2) Excellent, underrated defense.

    3) Solid pitching staff. Some question marks, but every team has those. Bullpen has really rounded into form lately (excluding Kimbrel, but he should be fine).

    Negative:

    1) John Farrell is an average-at-best game manager. But so what? They outscored every other team by like 100 runs.

    Garbage they have the hitting but it takes a complete team to win a series remind me of the way the jays bats were going off last year and then yah...David price a career playoff disappointment

    Pinny has Boston at +209 to win the AL - Like them in that spot better but those WS odds are definitely worth a sprinkle...

    Kimberly will not be fine. He's a regular season pitcher and always has been. They will have to win the playoffs by smashing the ball and scoring an absolute ton of runs because the bullpen will fail. If they don't rake they're done

    One month doesn't make up for 5 months of garbage.

    Have em at +1300 as my only
    Future from back on August 14...seen the number plummet since days after. Cleveland should be a breeze , if they make WS could always hedge a tiny bit but probably won't ...

    Some of those pitchers won't be on PS roster.

    Lost 2 starting pitchers(wright and pomeranz) both all stars this year i think. Price perennial postseason loser and a must bet against as a bettor. Offense is great but a lot of them has never played in the postseason so u never know. Kimbrel era is above 3.

    Their bullpen is subpar I agree, but they actually stepped it up in September . Hopefully it carries over.

    Guys, just to be clear, I'm not trying to say LOCK here or Of Course Sox win, nothing of the sort. All I'm saying is that for their potential, +570 is a nice price.

    Texas over them to win it all. Fact is Texas plays wildcard and Boston is at cleveland. Boston loses game 1..price game 2..wow. still say based on pitchers Boston should be minus 180 game 1. Cleveland pitcher is awful.last 5 starts. But Vegas thinks game 1 isn't as.big of a Boston advantage then I think.

    LB I get it and kluber will probably have most people thinking at least a split at home . Sox just string those hits together . Top to bottom , scary lineup for anyone
