Experts Say Tigers Win the World Series

By Mark

ADVERTISEMENTS

Since Opening Day was yesterday, notwithstanding that bizarre two day series in Japan a week or so ago and Sunday's night's Nationals Park opener in our nations's capital, I thought I would bring you this chart from Portfolio compiling the so-called experts predictions of the World Series winner this season. As you can see, the Tigers' off season moves are clearly paying off with the experts:

The Tigers are the heavy favorites to win the American League and take on the equally heavy favorite Mets, who are predicted to fall quietly to the Tigers in the World Series. As noted by Portfolio, the wisdom of the experts is contrary to Vegas and the prediction markets, as the current odds establish the Red Sox as 9-2 favorites for the World Series. TradeSports lists the Red Sox at a 14.7% chance of winning and the Mets at a 14.4% chance, with the Yankees at at 12% and the Tigers at 11.5%. Clearly, there is more New York money being put to work at TradeSports than elsewhere.

As for me, I think the Red Sox and Tigers will meet in the AL final to take on the Cubs. Call me an eternal optimist or just a romantic, but it is the 100th anniversary of the Cubs last championship and you just have to believe.
