    Standings

    Odds

    Cardinals owner Bill DeWitt said earlier this week that the sport `isn't very profitable.' Say what? The Oakland Athletics' franchise value has gone up an average of $37 million per year for the last quarter century. And the A's are always among the most frugal of Major League teams.
