Betting Odds to win the World Series

The Boston Red Sox and New York Mets are still favorites to win the 2007 World Series in October, after having more success in their weekend matchups.

The Red Sox are favored at +400 odds at BetCRIS, and have opened up an 11-game lead in the American League East by winning two of three in San Diego. This was expected to be the series of the weekend, and it did not disappoint as the best pitching staffs in baseball went head-to-head. The Red Sox showed a lot of mental toughness to take two of three in a very hostile environment against a good baseball team in the Padres.

The Mets are listed at +500 after dominating the Oakland Athletics at home in a three-game sweep. The Mets are a very well-rounded and deep team, which will serve them well once the postseason rolls around.

The Los Angeles Angels keep picking up steam in the American League West, coming in at +750 after completing a three-game sweep at home over the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend. The Angels should sail to their division crown, but the lack of competition could hurt them in the playoffs.

Despite their slow start, the New York Yankees are rated at +800 to win the World Series. The Yankees are making their way back to the .500 mark, and the consensus is that a Yankees team that makes it into the playoffs is a team that nobody wants to face. This collection of stars can reel off a number of wins in a hurry, and they can never be counted out of the race.
