With all of the October baseball now in the books, it’s time to look toward the hot stove portion of the offseason, free agent acquisitions, and well, why not the 2015 World Series.
So with both the Kansas City Royals and San Francisco Giants having provided plenty of fireworks last night, the question is can either of them repeat? The Giants just capped of their third World Series title in the last five years, but can they go back to back?
Here is how Bovada sees the World Series odds for 2015:
Los Angeles Dodgers-15/2
Washington Nationals-15/2
Detroit Tigers-10/1
Los Angeles Angels-10/1
San Francisco Giants-12/1
St. Louis Cardinals-12/1
Kansas City Royals-16/1
Seattle Mariners-18/1
Oakland Athletics-20/1
Pittsburgh Pirates-20/1
Atlanta Braves-22/1
Baltimore Orioles-22/1
Boston Red Sox-22/1
New York Yankees-22/1
Cleveland Indians-25/1
Chicago Cubs-33/1
Cincinnati Reds-33/1
Tampa Bay Rays-33/1
Texas Rangers-33/1
Toronto Blue Jays-33/1
Chicago White Sox-40/1
Milwaukee Brewers-40/1
New York Mets-40/1
Miami Marlins-50/1
San Diego Padres-66/1
Philadelphia Phillies-75/1
Arizona Diamondbacks-100/1
Colorado Rockies-100/1
Houston Astros-100/1
Minnesota Twins-100/1
Your favorites for 2015 are the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Nationals. After the amount of money the Dodgers have spent, seeing some sort of payoff is a must. The Nationals have also been trending in the right direction for a couple of years now but haven’t been able to put it together in the postseason.
For the Giants and Royals, both teams are set to lose some huge key pieces. Pablo Sandoval is likely on his way out and Boston could be a landing spot. His defense at third, and his unbelievable bat, are going to be tough to make up for. Kansas City is likely going to lose James Shields, and while he wasn’t great in the playoffs, he was their ace throughout the season.
Who do you see as a dark horse World Series winner in 2015?
