Spring Training is right around the corner and with that, it’s time to check the 2010 World Series futures odds for all 30 MLB teams.
Oddsmakers from online betting sportsbook have made the New York Yankees 3/1 favorites to win the 2010 World Series after winning baseball’s championship in 2009. The 2009 World Series runner up, the Philadelphia Phillies, are 6/1 to win this season.
The defending champs traded for Detroit Tigers (28/1) outfielder Curtis Granderson in the outfield and also signed right fielder Randy Winn. The Bronx Bombers lost Hideki Matsui to the Los Angeles Angels (14/1) via free agency and have yet to re-sign Johnny Damon.
The Phillies made the splash of the offseason when they traded former Cy Young winner Roy Halladay. They had to give up Cliff Lee (Seattle Mariners, 16/1) in the deal, but they acquired one of the top pitchers in the game in Halladay.
One team that usually makes a splash in the offseason is the New York Mets, who are 18/1 to win the 2010 World Series. The Mets signed one of the best hitters on the market in Jason Bay, who will patrol left field for them next season and hopefully bring stability to their offense.
The St. Louis Cardinals were able to re-sign outfielder Matt Holliday, which was their biggest offseason priority. At times it looked like Holliday would sign elsewhere, but in the end the Cardinals (who are 13/1 to win the World Series next season) were able to keep the middle of the order intact.
