2020 World Series: Pick and best bet

Baseball Prospectus World Series Odds

The Dodgers have taken care of business by getting to the World Series after entering the 60-game season with the second-best odds to win (behind the New York Yankees, +350). A $100 MLB futures bet on the Dodgers in June would have returned a profit of $375 with a World Series win. Four months later, the same bet would return a profit of just $50 with a win over the Rays.

There’s great value on the RAYS (+165) with only two teams remaining and a $100 bet returning a profit of $165 with the World Series upset.

Place a small wager on the Rays to win the World Series ahead of Game 1. Should they take an early lead as they did against the Houston Astros in the ALCS, hedge with a Dodgers pick at higher odds for the NL’s best team of 2020.
