Robert Prezioso

Los Angeles Dodgers 9/2
Detroit Tigers 19/4
St. Louis Cardinals 11/2
Atlanta Braves 7/1
Oakland Athletics 15/2
Tampa Bay Rays 8/1

World Series Exact Matchup
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Boston Red Sox 13/2
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Detroit Tigers 7/1
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Boston Red Sox 7/1
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Detroit Tigers 8/1
Atlanta Braves vs. Boston Red Sox 9/1
Atlanta Braves vs. Detroit Tigers 10/1
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Oakland Athletics 10/1
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Tampa Bay Rays 12/1
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Boston Red Sox 12/1
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Oakland Athletics 12/1
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Detroit Tigers 14/1
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Tampa Bay Rays 14/1
Atlanta Braves vs. Oakland Athletics 18/1
Atlanta Braves vs. Tampa Bay Rays 20/1
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Oakland Athletics 20/1
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Tampa Bay Rays 22/1

That’s almost the exact order that Fox executives would prefer, too. Jaguars/Browns on a Tuesday morning would get better ratings than Pirates/Rays, even if that would be a monumentally awesome World Series.

If you subscribe that all of these teams have roughly a 12.5-percent chance to win it all, give or take a percent, go with the Pirates at 10/1. My finder’s fee is just $10. Do it.
