World Series odds: Red Sox slight favorites over Cardinals
Rusty Jarrett
The Red Sox are slight favorites in the World Series, with 5/7 odds compared to the Cardinals at 6/5. That means ... wait ... the numerator over the ... no, the denominator ... no ... I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but I know that 5/7 odds pay less on a win compared to 6/5 odds. So the Red Sox are the favorites.
Here are the rest of the odds for the series, along with a few prop bets.
