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.
