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.

This is one of the most proud franchises in the big leagues, and they sold more tickets than another other team last season. With ownership in limbo, general manager Ned Colletti wasn’t allowed to spend money over the winter to improve their team.
