Place your bets

[Prospect]

As the season warms up and the smell of Boog's is in the air, it is always fun to pick a "dark horse candidate" for the WS win in 2008. Given the odds below (current as of the day/time of this post), what team would you put your money on to win the WS?

The numbers reflect $ winnings on a $100 bet. (ie. $100 on the MFY = $450 payout + your original $100)

For the odds, I think I would take the Brewers or the Indians. Thoughts...

To Win The 2008 World Series: New York Yankees +450 Boston Red Sox +450 Chicago White Sox +3500 Oakland Athletics +8000 Los Angeles Angels +1000 Minnesota Twins +5500 Detroit Tigers +550 Toronto Blue Jays +3500 Cleveland Indians +1200 Texas Rangers +8000 New York Mets +550 St Louis Cardinals +5000 San Diego Padres +3000 Los Angeles Dodgers +1400 Philadelphia Phillies +1600 Florida Marlins +15000 Atlanta Braves +2800 Houston Astros +6000 Cincinnati Reds +6500 San Francisco Giants +10000 Chicago Cubs +1500 Colorado Rockies +2500 Arizona Diamondbacks +2000 Milwaukee Brewers +2800 Seattle Mariners +2000 Pittsburgh Pirates +20000 Baltimore Orioles +20000 Kansas City Royals +20000 Tampa Bay Devil Rays +15000 Washington Nationals +15000

The Braves at +2800 and Phillies at +1600 look like the best odds to me.

Always gotta like the Orioles! Also think the Dodgers and Mariners are a good bet. Brewers/Cubs not too bad either. Even Rockies got a solid foundation.

I like the Brewers there.

Arizona at +2000 looks pretty nice.
