    it's a two team race in this division really, and the tribe +166 doesn't look that bad to me at all.

    Cleveland has great value, but I think the Sox prevail aagin. I just can't lay 9 cents when Cleveland has a real good chance.

    yes they are, but thats still a homer type pick ILL. because, at the price i can't see why you would take the chi-sox over the tribe.

    Here is your quote, "because, at the price i can't see why you would take the chi-sox over the tribe."

    Cleveland +166. I just don't see the Tribe getting the pitching they got last year ,but I could be wrong. Anyways i was thinking Detroit ,but I have noticed they're down to +1398 @ pinny. It would of been a hell of lot easier to pull the trigger on the +2390.

    Bro, I know they suck. I was hoping to catch lightning in a bottle @ +2390.

    honestly, i don't think they can bottle that much lightning in a bottle for that team to make a run at it bud.

    Cleveland and Chicago will be too tough, but at +2390 it's worth a shot.

    That's what I thought, but it's down to +1398. Maybe I take a stab @ the Phillies +912.

    WSox gained players while the Tribe lost important players. This is a runaway.

    What makes you think the White Sox won't win this division? Of all teams in the central the Sox have the fewest holes. Please explain.

    You might be right, you might be wrong. But I'd say that there's still some value in Chicago at -109 - I don't think those are bad odds. The Mets -160 to win their division - now those are bad odds.

    They are loaded and should win easily. Cleveland will hang around, but will fade in the second half.
