All teams enter the season equal in the standings. But the bookies scoff at such egalitarianism.

The folks at OddsShark.com, like other handicappers, see the Chicago Cubs as the favorite to win the World Series. Bettors win $500 on a $100 wager on the North Side’s ball team. Such a victory would mark the first Cubs World Series victory since the Roosevelt administration—the Theodore Roosevelt administration.

It’s an even year, so the Giants pay $800 to win it all. The Toronto Blue Jays, a favorite of baseball’s smart set, make $1,000 out of a $100 bet. The Kansas City Royals, like the New York Mets team they beat last fall, award prognosticators $1,200.

The biggest payoffs come via wagers on a trio of National League clubs. The Reds, Rockies, and Braves all pay $15,000 on a $100.

Here are the odds from OddsShark:

Chicago Cubs +500 San Francisco Giants +800 Toronto Blue Jays +1000 New York Mets +1200 Los Angeles Dodgers +1200 Boston Red Sox +1400 Kansas City Royals +1400 Houston Astros +1600 Washington Nationals +1800 St. Louis Cardinals +1800 Cleveland Indians +1800 Pittsburgh Pirates +2000 Detroit Tigers +2000 Texas Rangers +2500 New York Yankees +2500 Arizona Diamondbacks +2500 Chicago White Sox +3300 Seattle Mariners +4000 Los Angeles Angels +4000 Baltimore Orioles +4000 Tampa Bay Rays +4000 Minnesota Twins +5000 Miami Marlins +5000 Oakland Athletics +6600 San Diego Padres +12500 Milwaukee Brewers +12500 Cincinnati Reds +12500 Philadelphia Phillies +15000 Atlanta Braves +15000 Colorado Rockies +15000

The bookies fail to list the best bet: not making a $100 wager remains a sure bet to keep $100.
