The start of spring training games this weekend signals that most of the winter’s dealing is done, and MLB rosters are close to being set. So the Bovada online sports book (www.bovada.lv) published its latest odds for the 2013 season.

The Toronto Blue Jays, who added R.A. Dickey, Melky Cabrera, Maicer Izturis, Mark Buerhle and Jose Reyes, among others, earned the gamblers’ seal of approval at 7-1, the favorites to win it all. They are followed by the Detroit Tigers at 8-1, which could make for a tidy American League Championship Series at 232 miles apart.

The top two National League teams, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals, are each listed at 17/2, which could make for an untidy, bi-coastal NLCS.

The bookmaker, apparently noting the absences of Chone Figgins and Munenori Kawasaki,  was unimpressed with the Mariners’ low-profile roster upgrades, making them a 75-1 shot to win the Series, along with the Indians, Padres and Cubs.

Bovada obviously doesn’t read Bill James, the noted analyst, who on his blog recently  picked the Mariners as the AL’s surprise team.

That doesn’t mean championship surprise, but it does mean that 75-1 might draw some action from more than the handful of Seattle-addressed dreamers.

The question for the house (this would be you) is whether the bookies have it about right with the Mariners, are too optimistic, or there is a $20 bill in your wallet itching to go edgy on the Wedgies:
