While at Planet Hollywood yesterday, I picked up a Baseball Futures sheet and checked out the odds for the AL pennant and World Series.
The Tigers are currently 14-1 to win the AL Pennant and 30-1 to win the World Series. Surprisingly, the opening lines had the Detroiters at 12-1 and 25-1. So after making all the moves of adding Upton and others, the Vegas oddsmakers think the team has a worse chance to win both the AL and the WS. They've actually taken a step back after the roster moves!
The Red Sox and Royals are current AL favorites at 5-1. In the Central, the Indians at 8-1, the White Sox at 12-1 and the Twins are 20-1. So the Tigers are the 4th worst odds in their division, let alone the whole AL.
Could be another long season for us Tiger fans.
In college hoops futures, the current favorites are Kansas and North Carolina, both 6-1. The Spartans and Duke are right behind at 7-1. Oklahoma is 8-1. A couple of interesting longshots might be Iowa at 20-1 or West Virginia at 22-1. Michigan is a whopping 65-1 for you Wolverine backers.
