"+ " World Series odds still favouring Yankees "+ "

"+ " With only 30 or so games remaining in the regular season of this year’s Major League Baseball campaign, the New York Yankees still remain the bookmakers’ favourite to win the 106th edition of the World Series due to be held in October.

"+ " With 27 World Series titles, the Yankees are one of the world’s most successful sports franchises and won last season’s best-of seven post-season contest by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in six games.

"+ " The New York franchise began this season at odds as low as 21/10 to repeat its World Series success but PaddyPower.com is currently showing 12/5 on the ‘Bronx Bombers’ winning a 28th title this year.

"+ " Slightly longer, WilliamHill.com, WBX.com, Bet365.com, BetFred.com and ToteSport.com are offering odds of 5/2 on the Yankees winning this year’s World Series while BoyleSports.com and StanJames.com show 11/4 followed by BetDaq.com, Bodog.com and SkyBet.com with 14/5.

"+ " Currently in second spot in the American League East division and one game behind the Yankees, the Tampa Bay Rays have the second best record in baseball this season and are being offered at odds of 4/1 by StanJames.com, WilliamHill.com and Bet365.com to win the World Series.

"+ " The ‘Rays’ have only been in existence for twelve years but made it all the way to the World Series in 2008 only to lose by four games to one to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Florida franchise is listed at odds of 9/2 by ToteSport.com, BoyleSports.com and SkyBet.com to triumph this season while Bodog.com, BetFred.com and PaddyPower.com are currently going for 5/1.

"+ " Seven games clear of the Boston Red Sox for the sole American League wildcard spot, Tampa Bay is almost assured a place in the post-season with punters able to get odds of 27/5 from WBX.com on a first World Series title for the franchise while BetDaq.com shows 32/5.

"+ " With no World Series titles in its 49-year history, the Texas Rangers have only appeared in the post-season on three occasions, winning one out of a total of nine games in the American League’s divisional series of the late-1990s against the New Yankees.

"+ " The franchise formerly known as the Washington Senators until 1972 is being offered at odds of 11/2 to win this season’s World Series by PaddyPower.com and StanJames.com while SkyBet.com and Bet365.com show 6/1. Even longer, BetFred.com, Bodog.com and BoyleSports.com are going with 13/2 while bettors can get 33/5 at BetDaq.com.

"+ " The Rangers have dominated the American League West division all season and currently stand eight games clear of their nearest competitor, the Oakland Athletics, with ToteSport.com and WilliamHill.com currently listing odds of 7/1 on a World Series title coming to Dallas this year while WBX.com shows 38/5.
