Chicago Cubs with best odds to win the MLB 208 World Series

We are a month away from the start of the MLB 2008 World Series and now it's time to look at the betting odds on the favorites. There are many unknown remaining, but there is nothing better for bettors, as the odds on who will win the 2008 World Series Championship are quite inflated. Let's start with the top favorite to win the World Series this year, looking at the betting odds posted by the online sportsbook BodogLife, is the Chicago Cubs, who are listed with odds of 3/1 to win the MLB World Series 2008. Although listed as the baseball team with the shortest odds to win, the Chicago Cubs are far from clinching the Championship, according to the sportsbooks.

Right behind the Cubs come the Los Angeles Angels and Tampa Bay Devil Rays, both MLB teams sharing odds of 7/2 on ultimate victory, very close to Chicago, as far as betting is concerned. Boston Red Sox are 11/2 on winning the 2008 World Series, followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies, holding on 9/1 odds. At this time the Milwaukee Brewers are 10/1, while the underdog spot is again being shared among two MLB teams - the Chicago White Sox and the Minnesota Twins are both paying out on 15/1 odds.
