Odds to Win 2005 World Series

Here are the current odds to win the World Series:

St Louis Cardinals 3/1
New York Yankees 4/1
Chicago White Sox 7/1
Houston Astros 15/2
Atlanta Braves 8/1
Boston Red Sox 8/1
Cleveland Indians 9/1
Anaheim Angels 11/1
Oakland Athletics 12/1
San Diego Padres 17/1
Philadelphia Phillies 30/1
Florida Marlins 35/1

For most of the season, the Red Sox were equal to or favored over the Yankees but now....

It is also interesting to note that the Red Sox are still favored over the Indians even though the Indians currently have a better shot at the playoffs. This is more a function of the amount of money that would be bet on Boston vs. Cleveland and not a reflection of the true odds.

The best bet may be the Astros. Their starting pitching could easily make a run to a championship.
