I'll take the Minnesota Twins at 25/1.

I can't believe the nationals are only 100 to 1. If I was a bookmaker I would love finding idiots to take that bet. They should be more than 100 to 1 to get to .500

I like the teams which pay off a little more than the Yankees and Red Sox, but not too much. Some team is going to come out of the pack to challenge, so I might take one of the Los Angeles teams. They sit at 12-to-1 and 18-to-1 and would have the money to make mid-season moves to put them over the top.

The Rangers should be lower. Michael Young is already demanding a trade. They alienate one of their mainstays by moving him from SS to 3rd, but they still aren't addressing their constant and ever-present problem: pitching. Bring along some pitchers and you might be able to compete. Your problem isn't shortstop.
