Can they? The heck if I know, but if you trust the people who make a living being right on these types of things the odds are a big whopping NO. I was browsing BetUS.com, since it's almost that time of year for me to rack in the cash, and apparently they are not very high on the Reds chances at the moment.

They have the Reds listed under the title of "Not Gonna' Happen". Can't say I blame them considering the Reds pretty much tanked it last year and all they have done is added the 32 year old Ramon Hernandez. Anyways, just for you guys (and girls) who like to add some extra meaning to the games here is the odds that are laid out.

Legitimate Contenders

Boston Red Sox +500
New York Yankees +600
Chicago Cubs +700
Los Angeles Angels +800
Tampa Bay Rays +900
Philadelphia Phillies +1200

Can't say I disagree even though I hate the Cubs so much that I'd rather go watch Mamma Mia than see them win the World Series. Just kidding I love Mamma Mia.

On the Fringe
Arizona Diamondbacks +1400
Los Angeles Dodgers +1400
New York Mets +1400
Cleveland Indians +1600
Toronto Blue Jays +2500
Chicago White Sox +2500
Minnesota Twins +2500
St. Louis Cardinals +2500

Pretty surprising to see the White Sox listed in that group considering the off-season trades so far this year and the rumors of Dye getting shipped off.

Long shots
Detroit Tigers +1800
Florida Marlins +3000
Atlanta Braves +3000

Nothing to see here!

Now for the good teams!

Not Gonna' Happen
Colorado Rockies +3500
Milwaukee Brewers +4000
Cincinnati Reds +5000
Oakland Athletics +5000
Texas Rangers +5000
San Francisco Giants +5000
Houston Astros +6000
San Diego Padres +6000
Seattle Mariners +6000
Washington Nationals +6000
Pittsburgh Pirates +6000
Baltimore Orioles +10000
Kansas City Royals +10000

Sometimes the truth hurts Reds fans. Maybe we will get lucky, but these guys live off being right so are you willing to take a chance? I might just have to do it, but I'm going to be pulling for the Padres. If I was you I'd check out the rest of their lines for baseball at http://www.betus.com/sports-betting/mlb-baseball/.
