I would like to issue "The Big Ticket" $50 bet that says the Twins WILL NOT end the season in last place of the AL Central. There is no way that will happen with a team like the Royals in your division. Please, Please take me up on this bet.

Since the Twins can finish in five different placings within the division -- with 80% chance they don't finish last vs. 20% chance they do -- of course you want me to take that bet. However, when gambling it is usually wise to take the field.

Give me a decent over/under on the number of games Minnesota will win this season and I may reconsider that $50.

Ok - I'll give you 3 to 2 the Twins don't finish last - so that means you get 75 if they end up last, and I get 50 if they don't end up last...
