2018 World Series: Red Sox and the Dodgers
The 2018 World Series is right around the corner, and we are in for a treat. The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox are two of the most popular teams in the Major League Baseball (MLB). And any time that these teams play, bookies around the world get a lot of wagers. Check in with your sportsbook pph and see just how much bookies are raking in from bets on these teams.
In the history of the MLB, these two teams have only faced off in the World Series once, which was 102 years ago. This was in the 1916 World Series, where the Red Sox beat the Brookyln Robins.
But this year’s Fall Classic brings us these two powerhouses together, and their upcoming game is top of the gambling industry news. Starting Tuesday, the two teams will be facing off. Boston has a -165 favorite to win their 9th championship. If they do, this will be their first championship since 2013. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are +135. Last year, they lost by one game to clinch the champion ship versus the Houston Astros. The Dodgers have not won a title since 1988.
2018 World Series Odds
The Red Sox do have a home-filed advantage. A very strong one, at that, with their League-record of 108 wins in the regular season. Looking at the home-field advantage of the Dodgers, despite the 104 wins last year, they still lost the very crucial game 7 at home against Houston in the World Series.
In addition, the record-breaking 108 wins of the Red Sox signals a very strong lineup. This is especially true after beating the Yankees in the ALDS and the Astros at the ALCS. All of the road games in those series were won by the Red Sox.
It’s going to be hard, finding out who to bet to. These two are the top favorites in the MLB, and while it’s been much easier to bet on them when they were playing against others, this World Series is going to be very exciting.
