MLB: National League Pennant: Best Odds to Win?
Writing by admin on Thursday, 16 of August , 2007 at 2:35 pm
The Bodog oddsmakers are having a hard time choosing between the New York Mets and the Chicago Cubs in the NL Pennant race.
Bodog has both the Mets and the Cubs listed as 5/2 favorites to capture the pennant, despite the fact that neither team is a lock to even make the playoffs. The Mets have a three-game lead on the Phillies in the NL East, but could get a boost with Pedro Martinez nearing a return. If Pedro can harness any of his old abilities it could give the Mets a winning rotation of Martinez, Tom Glavine, John Maine and Oliver Perez, especially with the Mets’ powerful offense backing them up.
The Cubs’ playoff chances took a huge hit when offensive catalyst Alfonso Soriano went down. If the Cubs can make a playoff run, their starters – led by ace Carlos Zambrano and followed by Ted Lilly and Jason Marquis – can match up with the Mets.
