Dodgers Are The 2016 World Series Odd Favorite: There Is No Way They Should Be
Back to Back AL pennants and this years World Series Winners. Yet by the Vegas odds board, they are not even in the top 10? Wrong… They play in the most winnable Division right now based on their talent, and are returning to 2016 with a great amount of their young nucleus. Pick them as the best bet on the board right now from this gambling establishment.

These odds are courtesy of vegasodds.com for the 2016 World Series.
Dodgers 8/1
Worst odd on the board. Losing Greinke will crush rotation. There is a chemistry problem there too.
Mets 10/1
Should be the National League favorite if replace Cespedes and Murphy. Lots of salary room to spend if Wilpon’s can spend.
Blue Jays 10/1
Need to sign a capable #2 Starter like Samardzija and should be the AL favorite.
Cubs 10/1
Like them to sign Price and win the Division in 2016, however in tough with Bucs/Cards. This is a bad odd.
Nats 10/1
This odd is about right. Washington and New York are going to get fat on the Phillies and Braves for a few years. Read the rest of this entry
New York Mets Payroll In 2016 + Contracts Going Forward

So you are the New York Mets, and you have just lost the World Series, what is next? First off, you have several Free Agents walking out the door that you may not be able to re-sign. Most notably Yoenis Cespedes and Daniel Murphy.
Forget about the postseason in which the man was banged up, Cespedes was one of the biggest reasons you even made it to the playoffs to begin with. The Mets should try to sign him.
Daniel Murphy carried you through two rounds of the postseason – but looked horrible in the field during the World Series. So what is the prognosis on his status with the club? Let him walk… His playoff numbers, coupled with a high need for second baseman in the Majors may well skyrocket his next deal.
At first glance though, this is not the end of the world for the Wilpon led New York franchise. The entire Starting Staff could be composed of team controllable salaries. Bartolo Colon is a Free Agent now too, but maybe he would sign a small guaranteed contract with incentives. Read the rest of this entry
Travel Tuesdays: National Car Rental ‘Rent Rent Reward’ Program An Absolute Good Move
The competition can be fierce for Car Rental Companies, but the best reward companies for cars are National/Alamo/Enterprise followed by Thrifty/Budget and Hertz. Avis doesn’t have a great rewards program, but you can get good deals on them for weekend rentals anywhere in the world. When it all boils down to value created overall for the programs, National Car Rental is the best by far!

So you are looking to rent cars over several weekends – or weekdays from the end of Aug till the end of January. You would be crazy not to set up a profile on the National Car Rental Rewards Program “Emerald Club” and then partake in this current deal .
A couple of months ago, after signing up for the latest promotion of rent, rent = reward, I cashed in one of my free rental days at National Car Rental, and made a reservation under the umbrella of this deal.
I gained 300 PTS for the rental (1/2 way to a free car rental – as you only need 600 PTS for a free rental day, which is a free car rental for every two rentals.). I also gained 250 PTS for buying the prepaid fuel option as a selection (another 250 PTS).
I then took their survey for another 50 PTS, then voila – I earned enough points to qualify for another free day! Read the rest of this entry

Did the Royals win this World Series or did the Mets lose it?
The answer is YES. Both are true.
The Royals won it all. They deserve it. They were the best team in the American League almost the entire season and they earned this title.
But MAN, this is going to be a bitter pill for Met fans to swallow.
And I face that always uncertain darkness: The off season has begun.
It is a “Crown the Champs” episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Luke Hochevar, Eric Hosmer, Curtis Granderson and Matt Harvey all added to their totals of Who Owned the World Series and Who Owned October (WOWS and WOO).
Who Owns October and Who Owns the 2015 World Series (#WOO and #WOWS) Tallies Updated For November 1, 2015
RON VESELY/MLB PHOTOS
The Royals earned their crown as 3 of their 4 World Series wins were won in the 8th or later.
What a strange ending.
Now comes for the final entry of Who Owns October and Who Owns the World Series.
Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)
And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.
But the World Series deserves its own stats. WOWS (Who Owns the World Series.)
At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter. The WOWS total will be kept separately. Each game now counts towards both tallies.
A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.
From November 1st, World Series Game 4:
Receiving 1 WOO’s and WOWS
Luke Hochevar gave the Royals 2 critical shutout innings in the 10th and the 11th where a single Mets run would have forced a game 6. He allowed no hits and walked just 1 and earned the World Series clinching victory in relief for Kansas City, 7-2.
Eric Hosmer broke the Mets shutout with a double in the 9th and dashed home to score the tying run on a wild play with 2 outs in the 9th.
Receiving 1/2 WOO’s and WOWS
Curtis Granderson led off the game with a homer and later scored on a sacrifice fly. In the end, the Mets would collapse in the 9th and lose in the 12th to the Royals, 7-2.
Matt Harvey took a World Series saving shutout into the 9th inning, striking out 9 along the way. He finished with 8 plus innings, 5 hits, 2 runs and 2 walks but would get a heart breaking no decision as the Royals rallied to beat the Mets in 12 innings, 7-2.

The Mets have turned this into a competitive World Series. Was Curtis Granderson’s homer the turning point?
Meanwhile Juan Uribe is back in the World Series where he belongs. And Raul Mondesi’s son did in zero regular season games what his father couldn’t do in 13 seasons: Play in the World Series.

@sullybaseball What do we do for the next 3 days? And why do we have to wait? The teams are set and the fans are ready.

No baseball for a few days? What are we going to do?
I do my best to offer a few suggestions.
Let’s begin Year 4 of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
Sully Baseball Daily Podcast – October 24, 2015
THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY SHOW!
Every single day for three years I have done this show, and I don’t see myself stopping any time soon.
Meanwhile I breakdown Game 6 of the ALCS and anticipate the Royals/Mets World Series.
Three straight years… no time to slow down. It is the new episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast!
Mike Moustakas, Wade Davis, David Price and Jose Bautista all owned October yesterday.
Who Owns October In MLB Playoffs 2015? (#WOO) Tallies Updated For October 23, 2015

The World Series match up is set. The Royals and the Mets will face off.
Time to figure out who owns October!
Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)
And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.
At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter.
A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.
From October 23rd, ALCS Game 6:
Receiving 1 WOO’s
Wade Davis threw the final 1 2/3 innings, striking out 3 Blue Jays, earning the decision and closed out the ALCS with a 4-3 Royals clincher.
Mike Moustakas homered and singled, scoring a pair and made some sparkling defensive plays to lead the Royals past the Blue Jays, 4-3.
Receiving 1/2 WOO’s
Jose Bautista homered twice including a dramatic game tying shot in the 8th inning. It would not be enough as the Royals came back to beat Toronto, 4-3 and advance to the World Series.
David Price gave the Blue Jays a quality start, pitching into the 7th, striking out 8 and walking 1. He did not get a decision as Toronto was eliminated by the Royals, 4-3.

Troy Tulowitzki went 2 for 4 with a bases clearing double that propelled the Blue Jays past the Royals, 7-1.
Receiving 1/2 WOO’s
Salvador Perez homered to provide one of the few Royals highlights in their 7-1 loss to Toronto.

It is Back to the Future Day… and October 21, 2015 may have a much more negative meaning than it had in Back to the Future 2.
Plus I am hoping the LCS don’t wrap up too soon.

Jacob deGrom -threw 7 strong innings, striking out 7 and allowing 2 hits to earn the 5-2 decision for the Mets over the Cubs.

Liam Hendriks did his best to keep Toronto in the game with 4 1/3 shutout innings, 1 hit and no walks. But the damage had been done and the Royals won, 14-2.

The Blue Jays were not pretty but they may have saved the LCS from a disaster. The Cubs have a tough hill to climb.
Plus I can’t resist giving some thoughts to the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer.
The Force is with this episode of The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast!

Troy Tulowitzki got a pair of hits including a game busting 3 run homer that helped the Blue Jays top the Royals 11-8.
Receiving 1/2 WOO’s
Alcides Escobar led off the game with a triple and would score. He would finish with 4 hits and 3 runs scored but the Royals would fall short to Toronto, 11-8.

Matt Harvey came through big time for the Mets, erasing a lot of ill will.
David Price LOOKED like an ace until the Royals chip chip chipped away.
And all the while I bet Joe Buck wishes he was in New York and not Chicago.
