Sportsbook.com 2006 Odds to Win: World Series - 4-1,  AL Pennant - 2-1

2006 OUTLOOK: Rest assured that playoff losses are not taken lightly by Steinbrenner and the Yankees. Though it hoped for more, New York was once again able to flex its muscles in the offseason, adding Red Sox icon Johnny Damon to the outfield, and strengthening it's bullpen. The lineup is formidable, and the starting staff is packed with big names. As always, it's World Series or bust in New York.
