    I think they are if you look at it as an investment.. in the grand scheme of things 6 months isn't that long... if you do play them? Anyone got some good ones or do you wait to get into the season to play? Kind of like the indians + 1100 to win the division or maybe them plus 3500 to win the pennant... its defintely a homer pick but they have a good price and good pitching staff

    I tend to avoid tying up BR in long term bets unless their is extreme value. Like the Dems 2012 in the US @ -130 or UK to FF for -200.

    Only one I see is Angels to win West

    Astros under 64 wins.. lots of juice though... its hard to lay juice when max return is only 250... seems better to find someone in the pennat race

    I took Dodgers +550 to win the NL West, Marlins +700 to win the NL East, and a very small wager on Twins to win the AL Central.

    I also took Pujols 9-1, Texiera 10-1, Grandyman 22-1, Kemp 20-1, Votto 35-1, Uggla 35-1 to lead the league in home runs.

    Got Detroit for a bill +2000 right when they traded for Prince, but didn't update the lines. Amazing value.

    I probably wont even hedge first rd of the playoffs. Who knows, depends how they look on the year, and who they draw - but the best part about those assholes is that they're gonna run away with that division - impossible they don't get into the playoffs. Makes it a damn fun future to hold.

    futures generally not worth it before season starts, you can get better odds usually half way through the season and with more information to go on.

    Under 21.5 wins for starting pitchers.
    There will not be a 22 game winner this season.
    I am confident of this.

    If you look at it as an investment.. futures are good.. can't find too many places to get a sweet return like that.... I like the rays world series at plus 2000.. great pitching and should be in playoffs...

    If the Royals get any sort of pitching this year, they will shock and awe, that team can rake with the best of them.

    Broxton and Holland will be just fine finishing Royals game, I am also a believer that closers are pretty much overrated unless you are a Mariano type elite stopper.

    Two team totals I am looking at. Also going to look more on player props for the season, did not realize there were so many of those available. Good value hunting on some of those I think.

    Tampa Over 87 Wins [-115]
    Dodgers Over 80.5 [-115]

    I agree with Tampa, they should win 91, careful with LA, Lily still has that neck injury, may be DL'ed, if so Nathan Eovaldi will round out the rotation, kid has tons of potential, but is raw.
    As much as I love Harang, and I do, what can you realistically expect?
    Loss of Kuroda will hurt, can Billingsly win 14? Capuano is what he is, a Mets castoff.

    LA is weak behind the plate, no pop at all from the corner infielders, love the kid Brown at SS, Kemp is as good as it gets in the OF, Ethier has issues, and Guerrera is not a top flight closer

    I'm not looking at odds right now but take a look at the Angels pitching staff and the offense will be much improved

    You saw SF win with no offense whatsoever. The Angels have a better pitching staff (that's what win's games) and they have a better offense also

    1. SS Erick Aybar - crappy OBA
    2. 2B Howie Kendrick - crappy OBA
    3. 1B Albert Pujols - the best in the business
    4. DH Kendrys Morales - 2009 was a fluke
    5. RF Torii Hunter - expect .260/20/80 at best
    6. LF Vernon Wells - decline getting old in a hurry
    7. 3B Alberto Callaspo/Mark Trumbo - I like Trumbo
    8. C Chris Iannetta - not in Denver anymore
    9. CF Peter Bourjos - poor mans Brett Gardner

    Texas over 91.5
    Red Sox under 90.5
    Reds under 86.5
    KC under 80.5
    Wash under 83.5
    Ariz under 86.5

    I don't see any problems before the games are played.

    Padres? Don't get me started on the Padres.

    They only have one man on their roster that hit more than 10 homers last year (Ludwick 11) and he was with Cincy in 2011.
    They don't even have a ten game winner (unless you count Harang) last year, I do like Luebke, but this Padre team is dreadful
