MLB World Series Overview: New World Series Odds

When the World Series is over, the Breeder’s Cup betting will become foremost on the minds of sports fans. But for now, the World Series is at center stage. Even though St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols has become the new “Mr. October” with three home runs in game three, there is still something about the Cardinals that is preventing it from pulling ahead in this series. It looks like the Cardinals pitching and hitting is giving out at the same time.

The new price per head bookie odds on winning the World Series is -320 for the Texas Rangers and +215 for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals showed precision managing and timely hitting through the first three games of the series. But the Rangers have remained persistent and now have a 3-2 lead. It is very possible that the Cardinals send this to a seventh game, but that may not do the Cardinals any good in trying to win it all.

MLB fans are starting to see that taking years to build a team is a preferable approach to putting a roster of superstars together. When pitcher Cliff Lee went to the Philadelphia Phillies to join the all-star pitching roster there, everyone thought that the Phillies would walk to the World Series title. But the Rangers that Lee left behind proved to be a very good baseball team and are standing on the edge of winning it all for the first time in team history.

Pick: Texas Rangers in seven
