The 2008 baseball season is fast approaching and, as always, the lines for the team most likely to win the World Series have been posted.  This year the returning World Series Champions, the Boston Red Sox are favored to repeat their performance coming in at 4-1 to win the Fall Classic.  The Red Sox are followed by a pair of New York teams, with both the Yankees and Mets commanding equal respect at 5-1.  The Detroit Tigers are next at 6-1, but after that you’ve got quite the drop-off.  From 6-1 we jump all the way to the 10-1 Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians, then on down to the LAA Angels at 14-1.  If your team didn’t make it into the the teams previously listed, sorry, but your team has at least 20-1 odds to win the World Series this year.  Not to worry, however, the Colorado Rockies got to the series last season as a 55-1 shot.  My advice to you would be that, if you are going to wager on the team to win the World Series this year, don’t bet too much with your heart.  There are plenty of teams that could get hot in the post-season and make a run at the series, but there are also plenty of teams that won’t even sniff the playoffs (see the teams with the 100-1 odds? You’ll probably want to stay away from them unless you know something that I don’t).  Anyway, these bets are mostly for fun and if the team you bet on before the season starts makes it to the post-season it can be really fun, just don’t go blowing a stack on the Twins thinking you are going to get paid off at 60-1.  Good luck this baseball season, it should be a good one!
