Here are MLB Playoff Odds' probabilities for the World Series, starting on Wednesday:
WS%
Tampa Bay
.545
Philadelphia
.455
With a note from Jamie:
The offshore sportsbooks opened Tampa as a 58% favorite in the World Series. Most or all of the difference between that number and mine is due to Brett Myers; I've bet on Myers in virtually every game he's started this year, so clearly I have a higher opinion of him than the market does.
Dave was called a "national treasure" by Rob Neyer. Seriously. Comments about this article can be sent to him through the miracle of e-mail.
