The Rockies Could Make Some Folks Some Cash

We kick off our World Series coverage in the first place many of you will be looking: The arena of gambling. We tend to think this series as rather tight, hardly some obvious mismatch ... but it appears Vegas disagrees.

Turns out, if you have faith in the Rockies — you know, like God! — there's money to be made.

an online sportsbook has Colorado winning Game 1 by 7 or more runs at 22:1. And The Greek has a Rockies sweep at 25:1. I know they're not as good as the Red Sox, but they have won 21 of 22. Over their last 22 games, they've had a 11 game win streak and their current 10 game streak. The odds are obviously stacked against a Colorado sweep, but they've been defying logic for awhile now.

As you know, we're not heavy gamblers here, but seriously now: Layoff or not, the Rockies have won 22 of their last 23 games. Should they be this much of an underdog?
