Getting to the World Series has seemingly become second nature for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
With Sunday night’s 10-5 victory over the New York Mets in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, Los Angeles punched its ticket to the Fall Classic for the fourth time in eight years.
And even though the Dodgers have just one title during that dominant run, sportsbooks are more than happy to side with them as they prepare to face the Yankees. New York hasn’t been in the World Series since 2009.
BetMGM has Los Angeles as a -135 favorite to go all the way, with FanDuel (-128) and DraftKings (-120) also under the impression that the Yankees will have to wait a little bit longer for their 28th championship.
Fans should be expecting a competitive series, as all three sportsbooks have over 5.5 games being played listed at -200. Odds for a Game 7 are +190 at DraftKings and FanDuel, while BetMGM has over 6.5 games being played at +200.
The Yankees will be trying to avoid the same fate as the crosstown rival Mets after getting by the Guardians rather handedly in the American League Championship Series. Cleveland kept each game close, but New York took the series 4-1.
Game 1 of the Fall Classic is scheduled for Friday in Los Angeles.
BetMGM, FanDuel and DraftKings are all expecting the Yankees to cover their +1.5 spread, putting New York at -225, -205 and -192, respectively. The Dodgers are, however, the favorites on the moneyline (-135 at BetMGM and DraftKings, -130 at FanDuel).
