World Series Odds - February 07, 2007
VIP.com has updated its 2007 World Series odds. Spring Training starts in about one week with pitchers and catchers reporting to camp, and that is the perfect way to warm up a cold winter. Odds to win the MLB championship are listed in parenthesis.1) New York Yankees (19:4)
Roger Clemens is still on the team’s radar, and owner George Steinbrenner rarely misses a shot.
2) New York Mets (7:1)
The Mets starting pitching is a giant question after no major acquisitions this off-season.
3) Boston Red Sox (9:1)
Moving Jonathan Papelbon into the starting rotation leaves a big-time hole at the closer position.
4) Detroit Tigers (10:1)
Defending American League champions hope to catch lightning in a bottle two years in a row.
5) Los Angeles Angels (10:1)
Pitching and defense are the staples of this team, but have they added enough offense to compete at the top level?
6) Chicago Cubs (12:1)
The Cubs spent almost $300 million on free agents this off-season. Will they get their money worth?
7) Chicago White Sox (14:1)
The trades of starters Freddy Garcia and Brandon McCarthy were bold moves that may or may not pan out.
8) St. Louis Cardinals (14:1)
The defending champs lost starters Jeff Suppan and Jeff Weaver to free agency, two big shoes to fill.
9) Los Angeles Dodgers (14:1)
The Dodgers needed to boost their hitting in the off-season, but they ended up making a strong starting staff even stronger.
10) Minnesota Twins (20:1)
Francisco Liriano will miss the entire season with Tommy John surgery, but this team will still contend.
11) Cleveland Indians (20:1)
Cleveland had a very disappointing season last year, but they have the talent to rebound, and rebound big.
12) Houston Astros (25:1)
Houston already lost Andy Pettitte, and Clemens may be next. New acquisition, Jason Jennings better be good.
13) Oakland Athletics (25:1)
The A’s have had their share of recent problems in the playoffs, but they can’t blame Coach Ken Macha any more.
14) Philadelphia Phillies (25:1)
The Phillies made a great run at the end of last season, and these odds look like the best on the board.
