If you were betting it today, who's getting to the World Series?

[3rd & Long]

I'd have to go with either the Angels or the Twins in the AL, and I am starting to believe the Dodgers will represent the NL. No value with the Angels, So I'm going with the Twins & the Dodgers.

[Football_Expert]

Cubs/Sox.

 

[JD Sports]

W/Sox got a lot of value too

 

[Football_Expert]

I have no idea why C.C. has to pitch all these complete games for the Brewers.

It's 5-0 coach, let the guy sit down for a few innings.

 

[Football_Expert]

The Cubs at 13/10 is a steal.

Bet them heavy.

 

[cogenman]

Cubs and Angels.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Twins road record against decent teams is garbage, and their non-IL play record is only 50-47. Don't see them having HFA in the 1st Rnd or the ALCS, therefore scheduling would play right into their weakness. This is a barely over .500 team who made hay against the NL to boost their pretenses.

Still time left to close that gap, but I agree with what you're saying.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

I personally like the Cubs, posted so before the season began that they'd at least rule the NL Central and make the ps again, but what can't be lost is the fact both MIL & PHI have winning road records (something the Cubs dont), which isn't common this MLB season, in either league. IMO you have to pay respect to any team doing the business on the road.

 

[New_York_Bob]

cubs beat Angels
4 games to 2

 

[cubsker]

cubs are sure stepping up in the big games vs. mil and stl so far. cubs playing out of their minds at home this year and showed they could get it done at mil too. The one place I don't feel comfortable is at philly. cubs don't seem to play well there at all.

 

[doormat]

Mets at 13/2


opcorn:

 

[mcdrewcarey187]

I have a futures bet on the DBacks to win it all so I'm sticikng with them opcorn:

 

[chancedog]

Tampa/ Cubs

 

[TarHeel7703]

I like the White Sox to represent the AL and still like that Sheet/CC combo for the Brew Crew.

Brewers vs. White Sox with the Brew Crew winning it this year. Write it down.

 

[Satyr]

Angels / Cards

 

[Greencastle]

remember that clown who was a big time mariners fan, and then the halo's picked up teixeria and all of a sudden he became a big time fan of division rivals anaheim.

 

[Greencastle]

if wainwright and carp are healthy, st louis can make some noise.

 

[nawlins51]

Rays and Marlins. 2 small market teams would make me smile like the Joker. All this money these big teams spend would amount to :crap_on_face:

 

[~Utah]

I took the Cubs +750 in the middle of April, I will stick with that

 

[Trueblue]

Angels.. they are flat out scary on both sides right now.
