2010 World Series Odds & Baseball Predictions: On Monday I heard a major radio sports commentator discussing major league baseball and how there are only five or six Major League teams anybody cares about and two of them are in New York. And what he said was pretty much true. What he didn't say is when it comes to baseball gambling, the same is true. People like to make bets on the best teams or most popular teams. Popularity doesn't always equal the best but in most cases it does. So who are the teams people most care about?
It's no surprise the New York Yankees top the list. The Yankees are also on top of the betting boards too, listed at Sportsbook.com as favorites to win the 2010 World Series (+250 odds) , the American League East (-250) and the American League Pennant (+150). The Yankees, who won it all in 2009 will probably do it again in 2010. They are just that good – or lest we say, the best money can buy.
Just days from the mid-season mark the Yankees are right where they're expected to be, on top of the American League East standings. As of Wednesday morning the Yankees owned a one game lead over the second place Boston Red Sox and three games over the Tampa Bay Rays. Toronto is farther back down eight games while the woeful Baltimore Orioles are sitting 24-games back in last place. Boston backers are currently getting +400 AL East odds on the Sportsbook futures board while Tampa Bay is getting +500.
Minnesota looks to be a strong challenger from the AL Central getting +800 World Series odds. The Twins are prohibitive odds favorites to win their division at -200. The Texas Rangers are the favorites out in the Western Division getting -500 to win and +600 to win the World Series.
Over in the Senior Circuit, the best World Series odds go to the Cardinals and Phillies, each getting +350 while the Braves ase getting +400. Los Angeles backers are getting +425 odds, while the Padres, in spite of leading the Western Division, are only getting +800.
