Boston Red Sox
Baltimore Orioles
Toronto Marlins

Tampa Bay is probably good for 88-90 wins, but no more than that. So even a declining Yankee team has to be no worse than co-favorites to win the increasingly mediocre AL East.

BTW, they have the Jays at 10/1 and the Red Sox at 30/1. Variety is the spice of life.

The Sports book is the only gambling I do in Vegas, I once won big on Dustin Hermanson and the Expos beating Greg Maddux and the Braves. You can spend hours watching every game in the hotel Sports Book as long as you are buying drinks and placing a bet now and again. Very entertaining evening.

Nevertheless…good job on the effort.

And don’t sleep on those pesky Rays either.

They’re not even mentioned in the post.

I’m not really into the V-D, but apparently everyone in my office is. I already have a couple of cupcakes & a chocolate covered strawberry on my desk. We’re having a food day. I made cornbread. lol

As far as the Red Sox are concerned, I have no respect for the management of that team.

I did buy a present for a close friend who is going through a difficult break up. My own Valentine is out of the country, so I will be able to buy chocolates for her when they are on sale.

Eighth best odds for the title? That sounds fair. It might even be generous.

Or maybe Ellis.

Best case…they win around 88-90 and still miss the playoffs.

I’m willing to bet against my rooting interests, but that’s carrying it too far.

Hopefully it doesn’t move too much between now and then.
