2020 World Series: Tale of the tape
Preseasonodds (June 24): Dodgers +375 | Rays +2000
Regular-season record: Dodgers 43-17 | Rays 40-20
Team hitting: Dodgers .256/.338/.483 | Rays .238/.328/.425
Team pitching: Dodgers 3.02 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 17.1 K-BB% | Rays 3.56 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 17.4 K-BB%
Dodgers leaders: HR: OFs Mookie Betts and A.J. Pollock (16), RBI: SS Corey Seager (41), wOBA (min. 30 GP): C Will Smith (.411), ERA (min. 50 IP): LHP Clayton Kershaw (2.16)
Rays leaders: HR: 2B Brandon Lowe (14), RBI: Lowe (37), wOBA (min. 30 GP): INF Mike Brosseau (.394), ERA (min. 50 IP): LHP Blake Snell (3.24)
ALCS MVP: Rays OF Randy Arozarena (.321/.367/.786, 4 HR, 6 RBI)
NLCS MVP: Dodgers SS Corey Seager (.310/.333/.897, 5 HR, 11 RBI)
2020 World Series: Pick and best bet
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.

Each MLB season we take a detailed look at the Las Vegas odds to win the World Series. We don't waste any time after the previous season is in the books.
We continue to update this page with the latest odds. Each time we update, we make a checkpoint to reference how the odds have changed. You will also see a probability percentage for each to win the title based on their current odds. There is also a search feature you can use to look only at a specific team.
For those of you who aren't familiar, the money line odds format is used on this page. Basically, if the number is a positive one then if you bet $100 that is how much you would win. If the number is negative you need to bet that number to cash $100.
For example, if the odds are +160 then a $100 bet would win you $160. If the odds are -120 a $120 bet is needed to cash $100.

In just a couple of weeks MLB teams will start having pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training and before you know it the 2020 regular-season will be here. For those wondering, Opening Day is set for March 26 (all 30 teams will play).
Unfortunately the MLB offseason has really been uneventful over the past few years. At least in terms of big trades and free agent signings. There's certainly been plenty of attention paid to baseball over the winter months with all the sign stealing drama that's unfolded.
Right now the players involved are not being punished, but if that were to change that would really stir up the pot for the upcoming season.
As of now, the overwhelming favorite to win the World Series is the Yankees, who are sitting at +325. The next best odds belong to the Dodgers at +600. You then have the Astros at +700 and the Braves at +1000.
The next tier of teams begins with the defending champs, as the Nationals sit at +1400. Next up it's the Twins at +1600, Cardinals/Mets at +1800 and Phillies at +2000.
We then find the Red Sox at +2200, followed by the Indians/Cubs/Rays/Reds at +2500, the A's/White Sox at +2800 and the Brewers/Angels at +3000.
The only other teams with odds 100 to 1 or better are the Padres at +4000, Diamondbacks at +5000 and Rangers/Blue Jays at +6600.
