Got any thoughts on this?

I just went to place my wagers on a book and this was the first line I saw!

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=2 align=center border=0><TBODY><TR class=even vAlign=center><TD colSpan=7>Yankees - Will they Make the 2005 Playoffs</TD></TR><TR class=even vAlign=center><TD>09/01/05 </TD><TD align=right>12</TD><TD>Yes</TD><TD align=right>-185</TD><TD><INPUT onclick=checkMoney(this.name) type=checkbox value=X83-12-Yes-No-090105,5 name=MONEY_002> </TD><TD align=right>OFF</TD><TD> </TD><TD align=right>OFF</TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR class=even vAlign=center><TD>22:15 ET</TD><TD align=right> </TD><TD>No</TD><TD align=right>+150</TD><TD><INPUT onclick=checkMoney(this.name) type=checkbox value=X83-12-Yes-No-090105,6 name=MONEY_003> </TD><TD align=right>OFF</TD><TD> </TD><TD align=right>OFF</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Personally I think they will. They are going to move some players here soon and I think they are going to end up with enough talent to get there. IMO -185 is worth taking a shot at. I am sure a lot of people disagree though.

the question here is this:

Will the Yankees overtake the Sox and win the division?

If you think "YES" then -185 is a no-brainer

BUT

if you DON'T think they will win the division - then you must take NO +150 because it sure looks like the Twins/Chisox division loser (and it sure looks like it will be the Twins) will be a heavy front-runner to get the W/C

Personally - I think NO +150 is the only way I could play this one
