Four AL teams had a better record than anyone in the NL, including both participants in the Wild Card Game.However, the odds to reach the World Series are a bit more shocking.While the Astros are the defending champions, the Red Sox have been dominant throughout the year with the best offense in baseball. They also had a more impressive first-round win by taking out the rival New York Yankees.Considering the team went 57-24 atFenwayPark this year, home-field advantage could also go a long way.In the NL, the Dodgers are favored to win even with the Brewers entering theNLCSwith an 11-game winning streak. The team has a shutdown bullpen, and ChristianYelichhas been nearly unstoppable for the past couple of months.Still, Los Angeles' depth and experience could go a long way toward winning the pennant for the second year in a row.
