Which league will win the World Series this year?
00:04
So which league will the World Series winner come from?
00:07
On FanDuel, the National League is a minus 160 favorite.
00:10
The American League has the plus money price at plus 130.
00:14
And the main reason you would believe that the odds are juiced as such
00:19
is because the Dodgers' price is as short as it is to win a World Series at plus 210.
00:24
Somehow, someway, Donnie, that price is shorter now than it was before the year.
00:29
I guess that makes sense.
00:30
The Dodgers have backed it up.
00:32
Have they been historically trying to catch the 0-1 Mariners at 117 wins?
00:36
No.
00:37
Are they under their win total pace in the preseason?
00:39
Yes.
00:40
104.5 now at 100 and a hook.
00:42
They have 58 wins this season.
00:45
Are they still the best team in the National League West?
00:47
Yes.
00:47
By five and a half games.
00:48
Do they still have the best record in the National League?
00:50
Yes.
00:50
Do they only trail the Tigers by a full game for what would be the best record
00:53
in all of Major League Baseball?
00:55
Also, yes.
00:56
So I guess that's how the price becomes even shorter.
00:59
A third of everybody else.
01:01
And then about 40 cents on top of it.
01:03
Yes.
01:04
And also, you're asking me the question of who is going to win at the National
01:07
League or the American League.
01:08
It's the National League for me.
01:09
Built for playoff baseball, barring injuries, and the expectations of these
01:13
teams to improve the trade deadline, my two bet on teams in the National League
01:17
would be the Phillies and the Dodgers.
01:18
I just think they're laid out the best worth.
01:20
Like, okay, if the Phillies add another bat, or if the Phillies just get back to
01:23
being normal at the plate in September, that pitching staff is going to hold up.
01:27
The same thing with the Los Angeles Dodgers, as we talked about when we were going
01:30
over the divisions themselves.
01:32
Well, what to look for for the Dodgers?
01:33
They'll make moves at the deadline, but they're going to get their pitching staff
01:36
back healthy.
01:36
And also, Otani's probably going to be up to starting capabilities of five to six
01:41
innings by the time we hit September, and away we go.
01:44
So you look at the American League.
01:45
We're not slighting them.
01:46
The Detroit Tigers are very good.
01:47
The Yankees will be a player in there.
01:49
The Houston Astros will be a player.
01:50
But if you just said, Donnie, give me two teams that are probably best built for
01:54
playoff baseball, it's the Dodgers and the Phillies.
01:57
They're both in the National League.
01:58
One of those two teams is going to be in the World Series.
02:01
And then I say, okay, well, then I have the best team in the World Series.
02:05
I'll go that direction here.
