With the 2011 MLB Spring Training in full swing, it’s time to take a look at each team’s chances of winning the World Series this season. Below I will list the odds on every team in both the American League and the National League. I will also give a quick sentence or two on whether or not each squad has a legitimate shot to take down the crown come October. AL East: Boston Red Sox (+325) – It’s World Series or bust this year for the Red Sox. They are my pick to get to the World Series...

They finished the regular season at 94-68, but would eventually suffer their 12th consecutive postseason loss while getting swept by the New York Yankees. The Chicago White Sox had a solid season and placed second in the division at 88-74. Detroit failed to live up to expectations at 81-81, but finished well ahead of Cleveland (69-73) and Kansas City (67-95). Take a look below to find out how the AL Central plays out...

The other is losing, something that has been all too familiar for Royals fans to stay patient any longer. They went 67-95 in 2010 to finish last in the AL Central. The future does honestly look bright, but the immediate future in Kansas City is far less encouraging. GM Dayton Moore has put together what is considered the game’s best farm system. The proof behind that is that the Royals led all organizations...

However, as much as we could hope, this is very unlikely, and it’s only a matter of time before the Royals fall into their perennial losing ways. Rotation Cy Young winner Zack Greinke is the only sure thing in a very suspect pitching rotation. If healthy, Gil Meche has top of the rotation stuff. However, the right-hander is scheduled to miss his opening...

Zach Greinke was a big reason why, going 6-0 with a miniscule 0.40 ERA to that point.

This team just kept losing from May-on, mainly due to injuries, and Greinke was the only bright spot with...

With that and a bunch of young talent on the way, the future looks bright for an organization that has had just one winning season since 1993. The Royals kept most of their roster from 2008, and have added the likes of 1B Mike Jacobs, RP Kyle Farnsworth, and CF Coco Crisp. So with the Royals...
