2011 World Series Odds

Aaron Gleeman at Hardball Talk wrote an article today about the impact that various free-agent signings and trades this off-season have had on the odds for the 2011 World Series; it's an interesting read.

I hadn't seen the odds yet for next year's Series, so I took a look. The O's are a big long-shot (rightfully), at 80-to-1. The Nats supposedly improved their odds after the Jayson Werth signing, moving from 80-to-1 up to 65-to-1. The real players are the Phillies, Red Sox, Yankees, Giants, and Twins. Nobody else figures at better than 20-to-1 odds, at the moment.
