Updated World Series and playoff odds

It’s time for the weekly update on who is going to win the World Series. Last time we were here, we told you about how the A’s, Rays, and Rangers were the best bets on the table. If you can read this, that means you still have an Internet connection, which means you probably still have a house, so good job not actually betting on sports! Because you would have lost.

The odds favored the Red Sox and Dodgers going into the playoffs, so you’re never going to believe who they favor now.
