Some Old Faces and Some New Faces Meet in Championship Series


Betting on MLB

The MLB’s Championship Series provide two very contrasting stories.
In the NL, it will again be either the St. Louis Cardinals or San
Francisco Giants winning the Pennant. This isn’t surprising as one or
the other has done so in each of the last four seasons. But over in the
AL, we have the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City Royals hold the
top spots. The Orioles haven’t made the World Series since 1983 and the
Royals since 1985.

It’s been a while since either the Orioles or the Royals have come this
far in the postseason. The Orioles swept the Detroit Tigers and their
three aces in the Divisional Series and now stand as the World Series
favorite at 11/5. They’re also a -150 chalk to end the Royals’
Cinderella run. At 13/4, the Royals are the biggest long shots to win
the World Series, but if you believe in momentum, the Kansas City is an
intriguing betting option.



In the National League, the two most consistent franchises over the last
five years will go head-to-head this Saturday, October 11. With
home-field advantage, the Cardinals are a slight -130 favorite; the
Giants being even money. Interestingly enough, both teams are 13/5 to
win the World Series.
