Odds to Win 2008 AL EAST
2000. EAST - Baltimore Orioles +3000
2001. EAST - Boston Red Sox -170
2002. EAST - New York Yankees -150
2003. EAST - Tampa Bay DRays +2500
2004. EAST - Toronto Blue Jays +1200
This is an embarrassment. I'm 90% sure NYY -150 is a clerical error, however the managers are too stupid/stubborn to admit it. Yankees +150 would be in line with the remaining bookmakers on planet Earth, where prices range from +105 to +155.
If this is not an error, it's a direct insult to their customers. They're saying, "We think you're so stupid you'll bet into a 28% house edge and we'll laugh as we count your money." Even the most rabid, unsophisticated Sox/Yankee superfan gamb00ler is going to sense he's being taken advantage of when he eyes a takeback of -150 on -170.
