Where Carlos Correa might sign, according to the gambling odds – Chron

Everyone seems to have an opinion about which team Carlos Correa will sign with as a free agent. If you're feeling really confident about your guess, you can even bet on it.

The folks at sportsbetting.ag put together odds on Correa's landing spot and have narrowed the possibilities to 10 teams.

The Detroit Tigers are the betting favorite to land Correa at +150 (meaning you would win $150 on a $100 bet on the Tigers). Those odds likely are helped by those photos of Correa eating with Tigers manager A.J. Hinch last week in Houston.

The Yankees, who also have engaged in talks with Correa, are next at +200, which equates to 2-to-1 odds. The Astros, whose preliminary offers weren't close to Correa's presumed $300 million price tag,are 3-to-1 (+300) to retain their shortstop.

It almost would be fun to see Correa sign with the next team on the list - the Dodgers at 4-to-1 - just to watch their fans' mental gymnastics as they try to reason why they no longer hate the man they lustily boo every time they see him.

From there, you get much bigger long shots: Blue Jays (6-to-1), Mets (7-to-1), Mariners (+750), Cardinals (10-to-1), Rangers (12-to-1) and Rockies (14-to-1).

Sportsbetting.ag has odds on 10 other free agents, and it has the Astros as possibilities for four of them. The site has the Astros as 3-to-1 to sign Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager, who would make for a slightly cheaper option at shortstop. The Dodgers and Yankees both have better odds to sign Seager.

The Astros are listed as 6-to-1 to sign Miami center fielder Starling Marte, which seems like long odds since there have been reports that they are aggressively pursuing the speedy outfielder.

The Astros are even longer shots for Dodgers ace Max Scherzer (8-to-1) and Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (10-to-1).
