Following our gambling advice has proved nothing but wise in the past. Why stop now?

I noticed Nate left a comment about heading "off to Vegas" under my MLB preview post. ( I take it he was the only person masochistic enough to wade through that cum bucket.)

So I figured, why not take the opportunity to give more of our trademark odd-defyingly bad gambling advice? (My source on the odds is VegasInsider.com)

Looking at the futures, I think Boston at 12-1, LAA at 15-1, Florida at 30-1, and Cleveland at 30-1 look like the best plays if you think my picks are worth a damn. And the White Sox at 10-1? Umm, someone needs to tap Vegas on the shoulder and thell them it's the 2007 World Series future, not 2006. Vagas--that stupidhead.

For winning the pennant, Boston (6-1), Texas (25-1), Seattle (30-1), and Cleveland (15-1) look like the smart plays in the AL. In the NL, I like the Phillies (8-1), Cubs (15-1), Padres (14-1), D'Backs (35-1) and Rockies (50-1).

Put a fiver on each of those, and come October, I promise you'll be cashing in a few C-notes. And come October, I promise no one will look back to this post to hold me accountable.
