Cubs OVER 82.5Maddon
is not even a consideration but the acquisition of Lester combined with the
progress shown by the Cubs in the second half last year and the help on the way
in Bryant, Russell and Baez make the Cubs a front runner in a strong division
where that best that can be said for their opponents is that they solidified,
but didn’t really improve or “go for it. Don't tell me worst to first is impossible if you believe the Red Sox stand a chance.
Rockies UNDER 71.5Unbelievable.
The Rockies not only signed Kyle Kendrick (57.4 rating versus MLB average 68.6,
Kershaw 88.9) but they moved him to the top of the rotation and gave him the
opening day start. Don’t put your faith in offense with this bunch, they may
score a lot, especially at home, but will get beaten anyway, and slaughtered on
the road.
Now and then even a BLIND squirrel can find an acorn

Mariners OVER 86.5The
fans always fall in love with position players but the guy that will put the
Mariners over the top is Taijuan Walker. Versus the MLB averagerating of 68.6 for
starters he popped Spring Training with a remarkable 91. He raises the Mariners
starting staff to comparability with the Nationals and that is not an easy
comparison to make.
Athletics OVER 81.5Billy
Beane sandbags and bushwhacks a bunch of bettors every year and this is
another. He does not care about the public (you) perception of his guys or
their “star” rating. He reminds me of another successful Oakland guy, Al Davis.
None of the public perception matters, “Just win on Sunday, Baby.”

Agree on Beane, he knows how to get a team close. Al Davis the last 20 years were more 'We're gonna lose my way baby'.

Any leans for WS or Division futures? Good luck this season!
The AL Central is, imho, the second biggest crap shoot of all, the AL East being #1. I figure the WS at Over 81.5, but that is no strong opinion. The only team in that division I computed as out of it was the Twins, and that was before the Santana suspension. I suppose the WS are a viable play at +$ to win the division but they could just as easily finish 4th. I don't think I would be playing a large number of total wins in that division. Hope that helps.

Sorry; ha, I didn't mean White Sox futures. I can see where my question could be confused!
I meant what teams do you see as taking the World Series? My local allows me to float futures on credit, so I like to take a few shots on team to win it all...
I was leaning Cubs and Mariners as short faves, and Indians and Pirates as longer value plays...
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I lean Mariners, but Dodgers/Nationals is how I see the NL and either one would be a formidable opponent. We really are back to square one though as both WS teams were wild cards last year. Parity may be a beneficial thing for the game but when the best meet the best it will be a coin flip. My playoff season ended with the 5th WS game last year and those last two were rel nail biters.
