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...

Be sure to check out my MLB predictions to see how I came to these conclusions. Divisional Series: Texas Rangers at Boston Red Sox: (Red Sox Advance) – Not having Cliff Lee to carry them in 2011 will make for an early exit for the Rangers this time...

The Giants magical run didn’t come without some help from the San Diego Padres, who looked like they were going to run away with the division after starting 76-49, only to finish 14-23 down the stretch. The Colorado Rockies finished third with a winning record of 83-79, while...

The San Francisco Giants led the majors in the regular season with a 3.36 ERA, and went on to win the World Series, but great pitching doesn’t guarantee success. San Diego, Oakland, St. Louis, New York (Mets), and Seattle all finished in the top 10 in ERA, but didn’t even make the playoffs. New York and Seattle both finished with losing records. The...
Read more about MLB Team Pitching Staff Rankings 2011 San Francisco Giants Predictions - February 18, 2011The San Francisco Giants took advantage of a late-season collapse by the San Diego Padres to win the National League West with a record of 92-70. The Giants rode that momentum all the way to the World Series, where they beat the Texas Rangers for their first-ever World Series title since the team moved to San Francisco. With an unbelievable pitching staff secured for years to come, the Giants are no question a threat to not only repeat as division winners, but to make it back to the World Series...
Read more about 2011 San Francisco Giants Predictions 2010 San Francisco Giants Predictions - March 24, 2010The San Francisco Giants produced their first winning season since 2004, going 88-74 in 2009. But it just so happened to be a very tough year in the NL West, as both the Dodgers and Rockies finished with better records than San Francisco. That meant no postseason appearance, and it sure as heck wasn’t because of their pitching staff. Tim Lincecum won the NL Cy Young for a second straight season, and Matt Cain emerged on the scene as one of the best in the league last season. But their line-up let...
Read more about 2010 San Francisco Giants Predictions 2009 San Francisco Giants Predictions - March 3, 2009The San Francisco Giants haven’t been in the playoffs since 2003, and the most wins they have had since the 2004 season is 76, back in 2006. The Giants were a meager 72-90 in 2008, but the future looks bright for a team that has arguably the best young pitcher in the game, 2008 Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum. The Giants have some great young bats working there way into the everyday lineup this season, and once they mature into more consistent big league hitters, the Giants could be a threat in...
