Updated Baseball World Series Odds
Scott Morris | December 11, 2019
Last night the Yankees signed pitcher Gerrit Cole to a record 9 year deal worth $324M. The ace pitcher should bring even more potency to an already talented pitching staff.
It is no surprise that the odds that New York will win the 2020 World Series have shortened even more. They are now more than twice as likely to win it all as the next team on the list (LA Dodgers).
The Washington Nationals (current MLB champions) secured their pitching ace Steven Strasberg to a seven year $245M deal two days ago. That record payday lasted all of two days before the Yanks made their historic deal.
There are still some very important free agents out there on the market and trade rumors swirl about. One time league MVP Kris Bryant of the Chicago Cubs has been the subject of trade rumors lately. The Cubs have steadily dropped in MLB futures odds every year since winning it all in 2016.
