This might come as a shock, but a team that has lost 90 games in each of the past four seasons, doesn't have a manager, doesn't figure to spend much money and had their best prospects waylaid for much of the season and thus delayed their major league arrival … well, that team is not expected to do very well in 2015.
As a matter of fact, the Twins are at 100 to 1 odds to win the World Series — tied with the Rockies, Astros and D-Backs for the longest odds in the majors.
No team is better than 15 to 2 right now, though, so if you have a strong conviction, money can be made.
