The odds makers are at odds with the fans when it comes to which teams will be on top in 2016. From www.SportsBettingDime.com:

Odds to win the 2016 World Series:

National League:
Washington Nationals: 10/1
Chicago Cubs: 12/1
Pittsburgh Pirates: 14/1
Los Angeles Dodgers: 15/1
New York Mets: 18/1
San Francisco Giants: 22/1
Arizona Diamondbacks: 30/1
St. Louis Cardinals: 35/1

American League:
Houston Astros : 10/1
Kansas City Royals: 12/1
Texas Rangers: 15/1
Boston Red Sox: 16/1
Toronto Blue Jays: 20/1
Los Angeles Angels: 25/1
New York Yankees: 25/1
Minnesota Twins: 30/1

I like these odds. They recognize that the Nationals had a good team that was injury ridden, and the Astros are a young and improving organization.
