Las Vegas has spoken. In eyes of the money men who run the sports books, the Tigers are no longer favorites to win the World Series. They have been usurped by the Red Sox at 15/4, followed by the Dodgers at 9/2. The Tigers are next at 19/4. But they are still expected to advance to the ALCS, favored over the Athletics.
This is what Jimmy Shapiro of Bovada.lv tells us:
"For the first time all year, the Red Sox at 15/4 have finally surpassed the Dodgers and Tigers as World Series favorites, but are not seeing too much action. In fact they have been lightly bet all year and as a result, the Red Sox winning the World Series would be an ideal result for the book. With the Playoffs getting really underway in just a few hours we have seen quite a bit of Cardinals money forcing us to drop them from 6/1 to 11/2 and out of the AL it seems that the Rays who have had to battle their way in are the popular bet at a 8/1."
