00:00But let's keep it in the American League, Craig, and have some fun with this.
00:02The favorites to win the league and take down the pennant,
00:05the New York Yankees had a 20% chance to do that,
00:09followed by the Mariners at 17%, and the Tigers,
00:12the last double-digit team, at 10% there, Craig.
00:15Tigers have just lost a number of games in a row until they got back home
00:19and then took care of the Marlins the first couple of games.
00:22To me, Donnie, in watching Tampa Bay,
00:25I don't think they're going to win the World Series because they never have.
00:28So to say that they would, or the AL, they've only done that once.
00:32So it's a little bit ridiculous for me to pop on the show and say, take Tampa Bay.
00:36But, you know, it feels like playing back at home in that ballpark
00:41has them juiced a little bit.
00:43You know, they're playing good baseball for me.
00:45That's one of those teams in the end could be a surprise postseason team for me as well.
00:49So I'm going to keep my eye on the Rays at this point.
00:53And another buy low possibility, maybe Boston.
00:56But I don't see Boston winning the American League.
00:59Seattle was my team at the beginning.
01:01I'll stick there.
01:02I'm going to throw a little love on Tampa Bay here on the prediction markets.
01:07Yeah.
01:07And again, keep in mind, if they play well and juice it up there,
01:10then you can increase that percentage.
01:11And then by the end of August or even into September,
01:13before you get to the playoffs, you can cash out that ticket.
01:15Also understand this.
01:17American League champion doesn't just mean the best record in the American League
01:19at the end of the regular season.
01:21You're also just trying to quantify once they get to the playoffs and what could happen.
01:24Detroit Tigers, Detroit Series.
01:26Oh, no.
01:27It's Valdez if he's healthy and Scoobl if he's healthy.
01:29They're going to be a tough out.
01:30Also, what do we get out of Garrett Cole with the New York Yankees
01:32and we think Schindler might be really good over the summer?
01:35That's a great one-two punch.
01:36And also, the Red Sox on a tough start, as Craig pointed out,
01:397% is currently their chance, which they're trading at 8 cents here on a contract.
01:43A $100 investment will pay back $12.50.
01:45Once again, if that $100 investment starts to pay back $200 and $300,
01:48if the Red Sox make a rebound, let's just say, before the All-Star break,
01:51that could be money in your pocket.
