With their American League opponents still to be decided, the Philadelphia Phillies will face the Los Angeles Dodgers for the right to be the National League representatives in the World Series.
The Dodgers whitewashed the heavily favoured Chicago Cubs three games to none in their best of five series while the Phillies took four games to get past the underdog Milwaukee Brewers. The Phillies are now listed at odds of 5/11 with Betfair.com to make it to the World Series while the Dodgers are 3/4.
In terms of winning it all, Los Angeles appears to have the best chance with Totesport.com, Coral.co.uk, StanJames.com and BetDirect.com listing the team at odds of 3/1 but drifting, just behind the heavily fancied Boston Red Sox at odds of 5/2. Philadelphia is now third favourite with Boylesports.com, PaddyPower.com and Ladbrokes.com listing them at odds of 4/1 and shortening.
The Dodgers will travel to Philadelphia for the first of their best of seven series on Thursday followed by game two on Friday before returning home for game three on Sunday.
