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

[Illusion]

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.

[bigboydan]

ILL, stop thinking like a homer.

[Illusion]

I'm not. They are the current World Series champs aren't they?

[bigboydan]

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.

[Illusion]

Reread my post. Although I like the Sox I said I couldn't lay the 9 cents.

[bigboydan]

ILL, you said you like the sox though. and thats what i based my post on.

Again, I said I liked them, but I said I wouldn't lay 9 cents.

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.

[bigboydan]

aje, i don't feel detriot has a shot to win the division at all this year. they still need to fill alot of holes in there team.

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

[bigboydan]

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

That was good. Tks for the laugh.

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.

[raiders72001]

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

[bigboydan]

on paper they might look like the team still to beat raiders, but i'm not buying it

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.

[bigboydan]

i just don't feel they will ILL.

i think they will be a flash in the pan type team.

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.

[imgv94]

White Soxs just won the World Series and you can get -109?? Sounds good..
Too bad Taco likes it.

[Illusion]

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

[bigboydan]

we shall see in like 8 months

I wanna hear why you think Cleveland will win the division.
