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.

Last year the Blue Jays finished 10 games above .500 at 86-76, but finished 11 games back of the Rays for the AL East title and 9 games behind the Red Sox, who won the Wild Card spot.
