The reigning champs remain our best bet for this year's World Series. Like in 2021, the Braves began the season slowly before hitting their straps over the past month to put themselves firmly in the Wild Card positions, and only 2.5 games behind the Mets for 1st place in the NL East standings. This team is gathering momentum again and demand respect.
The Cardinals find themselves locked in a battle to win the NL Central, only 0.5 games behind the Brewers at the break. Led by two elder statesmen in Paul Goldschmidt and Adam Wainwright, this industrious St. Louis team have proven to be consummate pros this year. Our odds say they should be closer to +1650 to win the World Series, but a variety of 'books are offering far bigger odds. If they do clinch the division, expect the +2200 available to vanish quickly.
The Twins have been a surprise in the AL Central, establishing a 2-game lead on our preseason World Series long shot, the Cleveland Guardians. While the division appears to be the most hotly contested with the White Sox not too far behind, Minnesota have shown enough composure this season, particularly against their divisional rivals, to justify their favoritism with the sportsbooks to come out on top (+120). They're a handy bet to make to claim the Commissioner's Trophy with odds of up to +5000 available with PointsBet.
