The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the season as favorites to win the World Series and finished the regular season season that way, but as their series with the San Diego Padres has now reached the decisive Game 5, things are a bit up in the air.
The Dodgers (+325) have the best odds of any NL team to win the World Series, but it’s the upstart New York Mets, who eliminated the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday, that currently have the best odds (+140) to take home the NL pennant.
Meanwhile, the New York Yankees took a 2-1 lead in their ALDS battle against the Kansas City Royals and, with that win, once again claim the role of favorites (+225) to celebrate with champagne come November.
Game 4 in both ALDS will be played on Thursday, with the Yankees and Detroit Tigers looking to lock things up and advance. Los Angeles will host San Diego for their Game 5 on Friday.
