When I'm holding pocket aces and you're holding 5-7 off preflop, our odds are not the same. Not even close. That's a terrible analogy, as you don't know the flop before it happens. (And you won't see the flop anyway. You'll have folded to my raise.)
And the Dodgers, Twins, and Pitates don't have equal "preflop" Odds either. They're not each "1 in 30."
The Twins might end up outflopping the ALC or WC teams, but their odds are long and got a little longer by trading Rogers.
