Not sure if this has been posted as I don't frequent this neck of the woods that often. 35-1 wow!

It should be noted that, not long after the 2012 World Series ended, Bovada.lv listed the Jays at 35-1 to win it all. That's a lot of ground made up in less than two months.
Canada's team isn't the clear-cut favorite by any means (and all of this is subject to change). The Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels are next at 17-2. Freeway Series. Oh, boy. The Washington Nationals come next at 9-1 and the Detroit Tigers are 10-1. The Cincinnati Reds and Texas Rangers (despite their miserable offseason) are next at 12-1. The Yankees are 14-1 and the San Francisco Giants are a relative longshot at 16-1 to repeat as champs.

Definitely. It's been a long time coming as well. Can't remember the last time a Toronto team was legitimately considered championship contenders! I think the last time I was so excited about additions/changes was when the Leafs traded Fuhr for Andrekchuk.

The talent is definitely there and unlike basketball and hockey team chemistry, or rather fit, plays a smaller role in a teams success.
