World Series betting markets
So, now the World Series is underway, let’s now take a look at the different MLB betting markets available. Below, we’ve discussed the Brewers’ and Rays’ odds in each market and reviewed how things look ahead of the pinnacle of the MLB season:
Total number of games
In this market, bettors can choose how many games they believe will be played across the series, selecting from as low as four, up to the maximum seven games.
As things stand, the World Series is expected to last six games, with the Commissioner’s Trophy most likely to be won in Game 6. However, there is still a strong chance that the series could be decided in five or seven games, with those outcomes being considered almost equally likely.
Series correct score
In this market, you can select what they think the final scoreline will be at the end of the series, allowing them to choose which team they think will win and by what score.
Currently, the odds suggest that the World Series is likely to end 4-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers, although 4-1 or 4-3 are other highly plausible outcomes. This is no surprise given that the Brewers are favorites to win the World Series at the moment, largely due to them beating the Dodgers.
Though it’s less likely than a Brewers victory, if the Rays were to win, then the odds suggest they are most likely to beat Milwaukee 4-3.
Series handicap
The series handicap market is where bettors can predict the margin by which Milwaukee or Tampa Bay will win or lose the series.
Currently, the odds suggest that the Brewers will win the series but not necessarily dominate. As marginal favorites, Milwaukee are seen as more likely to win by at least two games, but there’s also a fairly strong chance that they win by just one, with 4-3 being another of the more probable outcomes.
However, if Tampa Bay were to lift the Commissioner’s Trophy, it would most likely be after beating the Brewers by one game.
What is the most likely result of the World Series at the moment?
Taking all markets into account, it’s clear that the Milwaukee Brewers are the favorites in the World Series betting markets. At the time of writing, the odds favor the Brewers winning by two games or more, with Milwaukee winning 4-2 appearing as the most likely result.
