The Philadelphia Phillies may be on their way to a special season if the oddsmakers have it right, as the Phillies are currently the odds on favorites to win this year’s World Series, slightly edging the stacked Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Phillies currently own the best record in all of baseball, and have a commanding lead in their division thanks to an injury-plagued season from the Atlanta Braves and strong seasons from their core of Bryce Harper, JT Realmuto, Kyle Schwarber, and Trea Turner.
Philadelphia has also seen the rise of Ranger Suarez, Jeff Hoffman and Cristopher Sanchez to support the reliable starters Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola.
Despite an MVP-caliber season for the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani, the Phillies are the odds on favorites, according to OddsShark:
