Orange County Register

The champagne stains have barely started to set in the home clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park and even Angels manager Mike Scioscia said there are so many off-season scenarios for his team that it is “impossible” to say what his Opening Day lineup will look like.

But that didn’t stop the “experts” at www.BetOnline.com from setting the odds for a championship parade in Anaheim next fall at 5 to 1 — better than the Phillies’ chances of repeating. The defending A.L. champs, the Tampa Bay Rays, went from 200 to 1 to 10 to 1 in one memorable year.

Their favorite for the 2009 title? The Red Sox.
