American League Futures Dilemma

As we head into the last three days of the baseball regular season I am faced with a dilemma as the Orioles who I have at 30 to 1 to win the AL Pennant and 150 to 1 to win the World Series face the Tampa Bay Rays who I own a ticket on at 5 ½ to 1 to win the pennant and 15 to 1 to take the Series. The very best scenario would be for the Orioles to slip past the Yankees and secure the AL East crown and for the Rays to pass the A’s and play those same Yankees in the Wild Card game. Most likely this is not going to happen so when the Orioles take the field tonight I will be rooting for them to eliminate the Rays. It is not a scenario I saw coming when I wagered on both teams last May 6th in Las Vegas but this a fine example of how much fun playing the futures can be. Tomorrow I will share with you my less complicated National League situation.
