| 2019 World Series odds.The Boston Red Sox and Houston Astros open as co-favorites http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , with the 2018 ALCS opponents listed at +600.The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees aren't far behind and are the only other teams with shorter than 10-1 odds at +700.The 2018 World Series is in the books, but it’s never too soon to be thinking about next year’s bets. The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has already posted odds for the 2019 World Series.With so many teams posting excellent records in 2018, no team is listed at shorter than 6-1 odds. It must be a bit tough to handicap considering a few divisions will have multiple teams capable of winning at least 90 games.Thirteen teams won at least 88 games this season, while eight failed to reach 70. Both are high-water marks this decade.The Red Sox and Astros start out as co-favorites to win the 2019 World Series. They posted the best records in MLB in 2018 with 108 and 103 wins, respectively, and were the only two teams to outscore their opponents by more than 200 runs.The Dodgers are the National League favorites at +700 and are currently tied with the Yankees, who had the misfortune of playing in the wild-card game despite winning 100 games.They’ll of course look to take home the division title to improve their chances of a lengthy postseason run.Two big names that could swing the odds for a contender this offseason are Bryce Harper and Manny Machado. Both are set to receive massive contracts as free agents in the offseason, and will likely sign with one of the teams with shorter than 20-1 odds for next year’s World Series. Once Bryce Howard rocked his last long ball in Home Run Derby into the stands, the countdown was officially on for the 89th All-Star Game Tuesday night at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.Chris Sale of the Boston Red Sox will take the mound for the American League and Max Scherzer of the Washington Nationals will get the ball in his home ball park for the National League. Both pitchers will have formidable assignments against strong lineups, but Scherzer may have the more difficult task.The National League roster is strong, featuring the likes of Javier Baez, Freddie Freeman and Paul Goldsmith, but the American League roster has a formidable look to it, with Mookie Betts, Mike Trout, J.D. Marinez and Manny Machado supplying much of the junior circuit's thump.Managers Dave Roberts of the National League and A.J. Hinch of the American League named their starting lineups Monday.2018 MLB All-Star Game InformationDate:Tuesday, July 17Time:8 p.m. ETTV:FoxTickets:StubHub ESPN Stats amp; Info ESPNStatsInfoMike Trout is 1 of 5 players to win multiple All-Star Game MVPs, along with Gary Carter, Steve Garvey, Cal Ripken and Willie Mays.Nobody has won three All-Star Game MVPs.

He is having a sensational year with the first-place Indians, and he has a .291/.367/.562 slash line with 25 home runs and 62 runs batted in.The same holds at third base when Bregman can come into the game to replace Ramirez. Bregman, the only AL participant in Monday night's Home Run Derby, has a .539 slugging percentage with 20 home runs and 64 RBI. Bregman already has more home runs than he did last year (19) in Houston's World Series championship season.The Reds' Votto is probably in the same category as Lindor and Bregman, but there are not many other NL reserves that are in that category.Additionally, once the National League gets past Scherzer and deGrom, its pitching may be vulnerable to the relentless American League attack.Sale and Severino headline the AL pitching, but manager A.J. Hinch can follow with Cole, Snell, Bauer and a series of relievers that includes Diaz, Treinen and Kimbrel.Partially because of these perceived edges, the American League is a minus-130 favorite in the All-Star Game over the National League, according to OddsShark. The Senior Circuit is a plus-110 underdog. A bettor who is backing the American League has to risk $130 to gain a profit of $100. |
