April 10 - The New York Yankees have started the 2006 MLB season in sluggish fashion and are off to a poor start, yet they remain the outright betting favorites to win baseball's world series according to the latest odds at Bet365.com.
The Yankees are below .500 but that hasn't stopped online sportsbooks from listing them at the prohibitive odds of 7/2 (+350) to win it all this year. The 2005 MLB world series winners, the Chicago White Sox, are listed at 8/1 to defend their title, but baseball teams coming off world series wins have fared very poorly the following season in recent years - look at the Angels, Marlins, and Red Sox for confirmation of this fact.
The next team in the betting at Bet365.com, an online casino and sportsbook, is St Louis. The Cardinals made it to the world series two years ago, and look set to contend once again thanks to the presence of Albert Pujols, arguably the best baseball player in the world. The Cardinals are listed as second favorites at 6/1. The Cardinals were swept by the Cubs yesterday, but remain a force in the National League.
Bet365.com offers daily betting on the outcome of all MLB games, as well as interesting MLB prop bets for those of you who like a little variety with your sports betting.
