Yankees, Dodgers Top World Series Favorites

As the MLB postseason begins, the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers emerge as the leading favorites to win the World Series, with the Yankees at +325 and the Dodgers at +340. The surprising Detroit Tigers have gained significant betting support, shifting from 500-1 odds to around 10-1, making them a liability for sportsbooks. The Yankees' path to the championship appears favorable following the elimination of their playoff nemesis, the Houston Astros, while they prepare to face the Kansas City Royals in the ALDS. Meanwhile, the New York Mets have advanced as underdogs but are viewed as having the least chance of winning the World Series with odds at 25-1. The postseason landscape has shifted dramatically following the Wild Card round, which saw several top teams, including the Braves and Astros, eliminated. Overall, the postseason is shaping up to be unpredictable, with underdogs like the Tigers and Royals challenging traditional powerhouses.
