The Red Sox, who won a franchise-record 108 games during the regular season, will enjoy home-field advantage throughout the World Series. 

They will also head into Game 1 with Chris Sale ready to roll as their starter after he was hospitalized last week because of a stomach illness. Sale had been scheduled to start Game 6 of the ALCS in the event Boston didn't clinch Thursday. 

According to OddsShark, the Red Sox are -150 (bet $150 to win $100) favorites to win the World Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers, who lead the NLCS 3-2, are +190 (bet $100 to win $190), while the Milwaukee Brewers are +650.
