Favorites To Win The 2010 World Series
The 2010 Major League Baseball season just started, but you can still get odds and make future bets for which team is going to win the World Series.
You can find different odds from different casinos, but the defending World Series champion New York Yankees are the favorite from the casinos to win it all again, due to how good they were last year and their acquisition of outfielder Curtis Granderson, formerly of the Detroit Tigers. The current odds for the Yankees are 7/2, which means that you would win seven dollars for every two dollars that you bet.
The defending National League champions Philadelphia Phillies are also a heavy favorite. They lost pitching ace Cliff Lee (now with the Seattle Mariners) and replaced him in their rotation with former Cy Young winner and two-time twenty game winner Roy Halladay, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays. The Phillies odds of winning the World Series are currently at 6/1.
The always competitive Boston Red Sox are right behind the Phillies with 7/1 odds. They won 95 games last year and the Wild Card, but still finished 8 games behind the Yankees and were swept in the playoffs by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. They made several roster changes and feel they have upgraded their defense at third base (Adrian Beltre), shortstop (Marco Scutaro) and centerfield (Mike Cameron). They also signed workhouse pitcher John Lackey from the Angels and made him their number 3 starter in an already impressive rotation.
