2010 Odds to Win World Series: •Philadelphia Phillies (+225) •New York Yankees (+300) •Tampa Bay Rays (+300) •Minnesota Twins (+800) •San Francisco Giants (+900) •Texas Rangers (+1200)
•Atlanta Braves (+1400) •Cincinnati Reds (+1600)

1: Is this the year of the surprise? Baseball isn’t really happy with the chances of several of these teams playing for all of the World Series sports betting marbles. The Rays, Twins, Rangers, Braves, and Reds might not be the biggest favorites in the field, but they are all very capable of stealing the Fall Classic.

2: Who is the hottest team coming into the playoffs? It’s certainly no one in the American League, that’s for sure! The Phillies were the one team that bolted to the finish line this year, and that’s why they are the World Series sports betting favorites. The “H2O Rotation” has brought this team together, and Philadelphia is certainly the most dangerous team entering the postseason.

3: Can the Bronx Bombers go on the road and steal victories? The World Series sports betting odds suggest that the Yankees can really go far in the playoffs this year. However, we aren’t so certain. This was a team that struggled in venues like Fenway Park and Tropicana Field this year, and now they are not only going to have to find a way to beat the Minnesota Twins at Target Field, but then again either versus the Rays or Rangers in the ALCS, and finally against the NL winners in the World Series sports betting festivities.

4: Who is the best pitcher to back as we head towards World Series sports betting action? Though we know that CC Sabathia is probably a Cy Young Award winner and David Price was the man of the hour two years ago when the Rays went into the playoffs, we aren’t focusing in on either one as the pitcher to watch. It seems like Cliff Lee has been the forgotten man in this whole discussion. You know that Lee is going to be throwing at least eight innings in every game that he is on the mound unless he totally gets lit up. If Texas stands a chance, Lee will have to be the man once again like he was for the Phillies last year, and we love his chances here.

5: Bottom Line: Who will beat the World Series sports betting odds? We have a hard time going against the Phils at this point. No one can match up with Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels, especially if you want to throw Joe Blanton in as a fourth starter. This will be the third straight trip to the World Series for the Phils, and this time, they’ll capture the title.
