Huh?
What are you talking about?
Well, the Lightning won the Stanley Cup for Tampa....
....will be bringing a World Series title to their city.
So either Tampa or LA will be a two sport champion city.
Very rare when it is guaranteed before the winner is even determined.
And who is the favourite?
Well, Vegas will tell you one thing.
At the start of the season the Dodgers were favoured to win (450-1). Tied with the Yankees. Tampa was at 1,400-1. It is closer now, but LA is still favoured.
[BTW, the Jays were listed at 10,000-1. Ouch....]
So Vegas has them as favourites, but as for the fans....?
Let's just use one David & Goliath stat;
Two of LA's players (Clayton Kershaw & Mookie Betts) have virtually the same salary (26M$) as the entire Rays team (28M$). So I think a lot of the country will be pulling for the little guys.
And who knows, if they do win, Tampa might be in line for a Trifecta, if Tom Brady can turn around the moribund Tampa Buccaneers and win the Superbowl - which is being held in Tampa.
So far they are in first place in their division. Never count out TB12...
