Hey fans, time to start cracking open the piggy bank for World Series tickets! Even with what seems to be a plethora of injuries, poor pitching performances and an offense that sputters as much as it explodes, BoDog has installed the Yankees as favorites to win the World Series, with 5-2 odds. And they’re nearly even-odds to win the ALCS at 3-2.
I’m not one for placing wagers (well, other than the occasional beer at the pub on a dart shot), but this is good news for Joe Girardi’s squad. It’s not that BoDog is any better at predicting who wins than any other sports book; but their lines demonstrate what the professional betting public thinks. Since those guys make a living by placing bets on everything, here’s guessing they still believe that those guys believe this team is destined for the Canyon of Heroes.
I, for one, like the odds.
