Sportsbook.com 2006 Odds to Win: World Series - 10-1,  AL Pennant - 5-1

2006 OUTLOOK: For those of you either still irritated by it or struggling to get used to the name change, you're not alone. However, this team thrived as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 2005, winning the AL West title. They are favored to do so once again, despite a quiet offseason. Losing Byrd and Washburn from the starting staff could hurt though.
