After today, there remains only one more week of the 2012 MLB regular season. Many teams still hold at least an outside shot at winning the World Series (16), while 14 others have already been eliminated. The oddsmakers in Las Vegas are well aware of this fact, and have adjusted their outlooks accordingly.
With that in mind, here are the World Series odds for the remaining teams in contention, courtesy of Bovada.com:
Atlanta Braves - 12/1
Baltimore Orioles - 15/1
Chicago White Sox - 18/1
Cincinnati Reds - 11/2
Detroit Tigers - 14/1
Los Angeles Angels - 20/1
Los Angeles Dodgers - 33/1
Milwaukee Brewers - 35/1
New York Yankees - 6/1
Oaklands Athletics - 20/1
Philadelphia Phillies - 66/1
San Francisco Giants - 7/1
St. Louis Cardinals - 15/1
Tampa Bay Rays - 40/1
Texas Rangers - 17/4
Washington Nationals - 13/2
Here are the American League Pennant odds for the eight remaining teams in contention:
Baltimore Orioles - 7/1
Chicago White Sox - 8/1
Detroit Tigers - 7/1
Los Angeles Angels - 10/1
New York Yankees - 13/4
Oakland Athletics - 8/1
Tampa Bay Rays - 20/1
Texas Rangers - 19/10
And here are the National League Pennant odds for the eight remaining teams in contention, also courtesy of Bovada:
Atlanta Braves - 7/1
Cincinnati Reds - 9/4
Los Angeles Dodgers - 16/1
Milwaukee Brewers - 16/1
Philadelphia Phillies - 25/1
San Francisco Giants - 15/4
St. Louis Cardinals - 8/1
Washington Nationals - 5/2
According to these odds, here's how the postseason would unfold.
AL Wild Card Play-In
- Baltimore over Oakland
NL Wild Card Play-In
- Atlanta over St. Louis
ALDS
- New York over Chicago
- Texas over Baltimore
NLDS
- Cincinnati over San Francisco
- Washington over Atlanta
ALCS
- Texas over New York
NLCS
- Cincinnati over Washington
World Series
- Texas over Cincinnati
As last season would indicate, I doubt this is the precise way the postseason goes down. Anything can happen and rarely does "chalk" win out.
However, I can see a definitely see a scenario where the Reds and Rangers meet in the Series.
