Chicago White Sox +2550 to win the World Series.

[lakerboy]

Anyone took this or thinking about it?

This team lost at the deadline but they seem to really have things together. If they get hot in the playoffs they can win it all. Anyone agree or is it a waste of coin?

[Mr Windy City]

waste of coin in my opinion. While they have been playing hot ball they really are shaky in the closer spot, bobby jenks is not the old bobby jenks I think we can all agree on that. Plus I cannot see them beating a team like the Yankees in New York or the Rangers in Texas. They might make a run, but they will eventually fail. They are +2550 for a reason buddy. Save your money.

[limitation]

Good odd. Worth putting a few bucks. Anything can happen in the playoff. You just need to get hot at the right time. Remember Cardinals in 2006? The team with 83-78 won the World Series because they got hot at the right time.

[Saluki09]

That's my team

In the playoffs anything can happen remember when the yanks lost to detroit? as for texas no one is concerned with that team. it most likely wont hit but i think the odds are a bit high.

If they had a different closer, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Exactly. Guy is a bum. No way would I have faith in Bobby Jenks coming in the 9th in the Bronx in a 1 run game. White Sox will not win the world series guys.

[limitation]

You have to start with Yankees since they are the best team in the league. Then go with Rays and one team from NL: either Braves or Giants.

[ToNyyy]

Twins, Giants, Cardinals, or Phillies.

Twins or Giants. But you're right -- that's not a very intimidating list.

[lakerboy]

Giants dont have any hitting

Twins are good but there starters arent good enough

I can't refute these points. Fact of the matter is, you can find serious faults in every single "contender."

Where are you getting this #, LB?

CHW is +1200 at my book.

[lakerboy]

All i know is that the White sox have that look like they did in 2005. This is a dangerous team. The yanks wont repeat imo. The Rays are good and the rangers are the rangers.

I do think either the White Sox or Twins will win the AL Pennant.

[texhooper]

yanks will repeat. lakerboy you know this. they're doing just what the lakers did last season. they're saving themselves for the postseason. whitesox will cool off, yanks will be fine.

Yanks have some serious middle relief issues.

And Grandy needs to start hitting; he's become an offensive liability.

Twins or Rays. World Series winner will come out of the AL this year.

[Rio DiNero]

Exactly. Guy is a bum. No way would I have faith in Bobby Jenks coming in the 9th in the Bronx in a 1 run game. White Sox will not win the world series guys.

Jenks has looked sharp lately, he has been around and is more than suitable closer. They have Putz,Thorton,Santos who are all shut down out of the pen, which is the best in the league. Starting pitching is solid 1-5 with the addition of Jackson, and their line-up has power and speed up and down. This team is built for the playoffs, and they love to win at home. This team is DANGEROUS!

these were problems last year. grandy has sucked but whatever. they repeat easily if pettitte comes back.

I never said anything about their bullpen or starters, they are all very solid. But it comes down to Jenks and the guy has looked anything but sharp this year.

[Waz]

I got the Sox at +3100 a few weeks back and think they have a legitimate shot. They play the Twins 9 more times before the end of the season, so that should determine who gets in. If the Sox can make the playoffs, they can wreak some havoc with their pitching staff. Floyd has been unbelievable lately (best pitcher in AL the last 2 months) and Danks and Buehrle are very tough as well.

If they get in, they'll likely face the Yankees in the first round though, so keep that in mind.

[alukk]

I cant see how the whitesox can win the world series. If they can make the playoffs -which is going to be hard having those minnny bats fighting for the first place- the only way they can make it to the american league finals is playing against texas that are also a very very hard team.

[Pauulzcappin]

No chance for them, Yanks repeat.

[mdemps9190]

I think the red sox is a decent value play. Although currently they are out of contention, I see the yanks or Rays fading and the sox healthy with their dominant pitching staff could run through teams in a 7 game series. Lester got tagged tonight but once Pedroia is back, and if Youk is OK, then I think they can dominate.

[dolphan34]

It definitely looks like a good value bet now, but who knows if they can still be this hot come playoffs.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

I took Yanks to win WS no value now but when its Yankees in the World Series and people are betting -200 and RL I will have +300 every game.

[ThisGuy]

If you're confident they'll make the playoffs, at those odds you could just hedge against against them every series for profit

[Pauulzcappin]

Yanks have some serious middle relief issues.

And Grandy needs to start hitting; he's become an offensive liability.

Their middle relief has never looked better throughout the season.

Joba seems to be back to being the old Joba, Robertson and Logan have been very solid as well.

Only Mitre sucks and he will barely be used on playoffs.

[paco]

U guys keep doubting this whitesox team and u'll have no money left come world series

I been banking on these guys for the past month +

[Pauulzcappin]

Me too but they can't beat the Yanks with this lineup on a playoff series.

Whos gonna stop em Buerhle?

[paco]

Buerle > Hughes

Garcia = Burnett

Danks = Pettite

Floyd = CC

[Pauulzcappin]

Hmmm, no.

Buerhle can't be compared to Hughes since he is a soft thrower... more like Pettite > Buerhle.

CC >>>>>>>> Floyd showed how good he is on the clutch last year.

Burnett is an inconstant scrub.

Hughes has been pitching better, looks like he has his control again.

The rotation is good and they get run support because they have the best lineup in baseball.
