A sports betting site lists the local baseball team as one of five Major League clubs with the lowest odds to win the 2018 World Series at 200 to 1.
The Texas Rangers are joined in that pit of shame with the Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics and San Diego Padres.
Two hundred to one.
In November, after the Rangers win the World Series, I will collect the $20,000 on my $100 bet. The winnings should cover approximately one-eighth of a semester of college tuition when my daughter attends Harvard in 10 years.
