Vegas favors the Yankees to win the World Series this year [View all]
Red Sox fans chime in, in 3... 2... 1...
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has posted the New York Yankees as -125 favorites to win the AL East, while Boston carries +140 odds.
"In baseball and sports in general, it's just natural for a team that had a season like the Red Sox had to regress a little bit. You play a lot more games when you make it to the World Series and we've seen it in the past where teams start slowly (the next season)," SuperBook oddsmaker Randy Blum told ESPN, also sharing some concerns over Boston's bullpen.
The Yankees and Houston Astros are World Series co-favorites at 6-1 odds, while the Red Sox and Dodgers have 7-1 odds.
The SuperBook betting menu offers several options, including the popular season win totals. The Yankees and Astros own the highest marks at 96.5. Boston is 94.5 and Los Angeles is 93.5.

Don't look at me. I cheer for the lowly Blue Jays and I'm just making a thread for information purposes!
