The Oakland A's are World series favorites at 4/1, Followed by the Dodgers (9/2) and the Tigers (9/2), while no other team is better than 10/1.
Ken gives the Dodgers and Nationals as the two teams at to be in the World Series.
The A's gave up some real talent in the trade with the Cubs, but they also got back some real talent and while in the long term it might be a slight net negative for Oakland, but as of right now this is a much better team with the Addition of Jeff Sam. and Jason Hammel. The A's acquired the two pitchers knowing how good they are right now and how close they are to a world series title.
Jeff Sam already payed dividends with a big first outing for the A's. Ken feel that Jake Arrieta may be the next to go for Chicago.
