Thinking about going for Texas to win AL west at -150
In my opinion the only team that can beat Texas for the title is LA, but it's gonna be tough because they are already behind 6 games

I'm also considering STL to win the Central at +120
Do these picks seem like good odds or should I stay away from them?

Like Texas.

Central hard to tell if Cards stay healthy for the most part easy win but that is saying a lot.

I think Texas wins this division EASILY (I am not biased either, I hate the Rangers....I am a Stros fan). 


LAA just don't look right...

they are the best team in the AL they should win it easily, the question about the angels before the season was who will protect pujols. no one has stepped up yet. also adding to their troubles their BP sucks balls, bottom 5 in the league. can't win games like that.

forgot to mention veron wells is making 23M this season

thanks for the advice, i'll stay away from STL because i've gotten in trouble before on divisional betting by going for a team that has a hot start, it's a long season and it's really just started, but ya you're all right about texas...... and if they keep winning in a short while the odds can go to -220 which isn't really worth it at that point. However I may jump on it tonight or wait just a day or two to see what happens since Texas has a tough series in Detroit while LA has it easier against the A's

I don't understand why so many people had LA winning that division. From day 1 I said they are over rated, and I will stick by that this entire season. I see Texas making the World Series for a 3rd straight year, although that would suck because I'd love to see Doc win it all this year.

i've been comparing the two teams with their hitting, pitching, and bullpen and Texas clearly does have much more talent in every category.... and I'll definitely make a play on them because for the value I can't go wrong, and like you said if I wait any longer and the line goes past -200, i'll be upset why I didn't go any sooner

The only thing wrong with Texas is Joe Nathan 

He almost blew it again tonight! (I would have been super pissed off too) I had the last of my bankroll on Texas tonight

Ad          JOE NATHAN SUCKS You do realize our only 2 losses were when e he entered 1 game tied and gave up winning homer and the other he entered in a SAVE situation, blew it and GOT the LOSS. He is 0-2 and everybody in TEXAS organization is very aware that currently, he is the weakest link

Besides, instead of taking TX to win division, get the better odds on winning the pennant. This team is so hungry to get back to the World series and win. Plus, Josh is in a contract year and is already playing lights out, in the field and at the plate

Good luck, GO RANGERS. Plus, we are already up 6 games on those sorry ass overpaid Angels

Exactly. They should just put Neftali Feliz back in the closer role...GL bud

the odds are now -162 at Victor Chandler.... i use mlb odds checker to see what other bookies have it at and quite a few are now at -200. I would do the pennant but I would rather go for the division and then I can always roll over some of the winnings at the end of the year for them to win it, thanks again for the feedback
