If I were the betting type, I’d be broke, because if I told you I expected the Guardians to be the betting favorites to win the AL Central on Aug. 15 I would be lying.
But here we are, with Caesars putting odds of +135 on the Guardians taking the AL Central title, with the White Sox at +190 and Twins at +240. All this after an offseason of inactivity, a lethargic trade deadline, and (as of this evening, when Xzavion Curry toes the rubber) 20 different MLB debuts.
Yeah, I never, ever saw this coming.
I want to give credit to the front office for making a plan and sticking with it, but if someone in the front office comments on this with their burner account to say they anticipated this all along I will call shenanigans.
