Which MLB franchise will be the next to win their first WS?

If someone gave you 500$ and said you could only use that to bet on one of the 5 teams above to win their first WS, who would it be?

Mariners? Come on

Win a pennant first

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Until Cleveland wins again, I hope it's none of them.

I hope it's the Padres. Maybe they take one more shot at it while Soto is still around?

 

[Leskanic's Thread]

Though not a direct fan like @Sad Sam Jones, I'd rather Cleveland win ahead of any of these expansion teams. And I'd much rather all of them wait 20 years as the Red Sox run off an unprecedented two-decade winning streak.

Just kidding...I don't want the Sox to stop at 20.

(I voted Mariners because I think they will catch lightning in a bottle someday in a topsy-turvy division.)

I picked Mariners, just because I could see how it happens for them in the next few years. They feel like the kind of team that could come in via wild card and have the right guys get hot. A very good young rotation and Julio Rodriguez could be all you need in the playoffs.

Guessing that the Padres are going to buy a championship just like Texas did this year.

They tried it, it didn't work, and now they're broke.

It could be an expansion team that doesn’t exist yet…
