Sportsbook.com 2006 Odds to Win: World Series - 75-1,  AL Pennant - 38-1

2006 OUTLOOK: Seattle continues to struggle to find a comfort zone in its relatively new home, Safeco Field. Last year, en route to a 69-93 finish, the Mariners won just 39 of 81 games at home. This coming after an offseason of adding Sexson and Beltre to the lineup, each of whom finished below normal standards for production. They simply might not be right for the surroundings. There's plenty of potential here though.
