Wow 3:1 to win a championship...ridiculous. Why would anyone want to waste their time and tie up money for that long on a 3:1 Guess that's what happens when you try to buy the WS.

[rjt721]

Bit surprised to see Twins with longer odds than the Tribe. But it's deserved -- Indians are the best team in the Central.

Marlins +4050 is appealing. Far and away the best rotation in their division, several arms in the pen and power throughout the lineup, including the best player in the game. Fish will contend all season in the NL East.

Tigers +2250. LOL.

It's a great line, though. Will still get plenty of people to bite at that price. I know plenty of Yanks fans who truly think this team is unbeatable.

Going to see plenty of Sabathia -400 lines this spring/summer. Should be fun.

I personally believe that the Twins, Indians and White Sox are all very close in the AL Central. I think Cliff Lee comes back to earth this season (look at his career stats) and Carmona finds his control. The offense has to get better (serious Martinez are you even alive) and their bull pen was drastically strengthened. That being said, Minnesota IMO wins this year as they were inches away from doing so last year and did not have a healty Liriano. He is healthy this year (best pitcher in the AL Central), along with the M & M boys I would say watch out. That being said I think the best bets from those listed above are:

Boston Red Sox ........+1215
New York Mets......... +1215
Anehiem Angels.........+885

Just my two cents.

[bigboydan]

Lots not overlook the motor city kitties here at +2250. They definitely do have so good talent on that team and don't have the SI jinx in 09 either.

4805 Chicago Cubs............ +825

[Tsoprano]

I just UNLOADED on the YANKS! lol jk

[reno cool]

Little reason to bet this early. I find better value during the season.

[Kingctb27]

Boys the Rangers are +6050. Have the best offense in the league and the pitching rotation might get a little better this year if they can bring in Sheets... I have heard GM Jon Daniels talk about him lately, but no offer has been made I do not think. That said there are some good arms down on the farm in Feliz and one other guy who escapes my recollection.

Yes, the Angles pitching is awesome as always, but their offense is putrid and an injury to an over-worked Lackey could send this team into a tailspin. They will a lot of trouble putting runs on the board this year.

You will lose money fading Sabathia every game straight up, take the RL instead there'll be plenty low low scoring affairs with that absolute stud on the mound.

[pavyracer]

Betting on the Yankees is a waste of time and money. You are basically betting on 3 to 1 odds. If the Yankees end up being a phenomenal team all you have to do is wait till the world series and bet them to win 4 straight. So you bet them 11/10 on 4 consecutive games and you make close to 14 to 1.

And you don't have to tie up the money for 1 year.

[Casperwaits]

Hell, bet Toronto all year long and bet them to win the Series. Something tells me they will be the Tampa Bay Rays of this year.

[ryanXL977]

indians should win central, minne 2nd
i think white sox will be AT LEAST 5-6 gb, they will fall off a lot

[smitch124]

$10 on SF Giants: +3.25 X10^6

Don't waste a buffalo nickel on Texas. Don't waste anymore brain power trying to convince yourself either. You might as well give that money to a hobo to buy some wine.

[seaborneq]

Phillies look good again. Plus a flyer on Detroit would not be a bad play.

[tacomax]

CrazyLou has single-handedly bet the Yankees line down to +215.

[ryanXL977]

tigers wont win 82 games

[rjt721]

Not sure why this thread's in the main forum... Definitely didn't start it there.

I'm not high on the Tigers at all. Actually think it's rather absurd they have shorter odds than the Twins. ChiSox are likely to fall off a bit in the Central, but Minnesota and the Indians are considerably better than Detroit. I'd suspect Verlander to bounce back from a poor season, but their rotation is paper-thin after that. Armando Galarraga, in particular, is a great candidate to give them significantly less. Would be shocked if he even came close to duplicating his '08 numbers. Also think Rodney and Zumaya, largely because of injuries, will never be the same. Tigers are a classic case of a collection of big-name players who aren't nearly as productive at this stage of their careers. That's a very flawed team. Almost certain to produce a negative ROI this season IMO.

Do I think they'll have an excellent year? They better, the money spent this time around was put to better use than some of their previous dealings with older washed up players, and pitchers that amounted to jack. At least they brought in guys in their prime now to contribute. Do I think they'll win 100 games? Very well should.

[Chi_archie]

where are the pirates?

I'll take that bet.

where are the pirates?

Who?

[SBR Lou]

Take off the rose colored glasses, rjt721. This is not a Boston year, your few years under the sun are over, football included in that equation. It's over, rjt721.

[rjt721]

Has nothing to do with the Red Sox, and I'm not much of a Boston fan to tell you the truth. But the Yanks are unlikely to win 100 given the state of the AL East. I'd estimate their regular season win total will be set at 96.5.

[tacomax]

How do you know the recent signings will amount to anything greater than jack this time around?

[TheLock]

I'll take that bet.



Who?

Agreed on the Marlins rjt (although just last year they opened up a much bigger dog to win Series). I also felt like Marlins Over 69.5 was the closest thing to a "stone cold candy lock " in terms of futures last year.

But the Pirates actually played a lot of goodteams very strong in 08'. They also lost a lot of close games. I don't think a small play on the big dig Pirates is a bad play.

Anyway, looking forward to following your 09' thread if u have one rjt

[seaborneq]

Yanks can be had for +500 now. Still a bad bet.

I never thought it would be possible but this guy knows even less about baseball than he does about tennis.

He is getting better in NBA. He is 2-0 the last two days after starting 0-10.

wish i would have had it for a 25thousand

[rjt721]

At least the Knicks and Jets still suck.

Keep bumping my threads. I feel important.

So Ryanxl should too?
