The Washington Nationals are only just now completing the last laps of their extended victory tour, so of course it’s time to start looking forward to next season. According to the very early odds for the 2020 World Series, BetOnline has installed the Astros (+500) and Yankees (+700) as the favorites. The Cubs, meanwhile, find themselves outside the upper third of the standings with +2000 odds.
That has them tied with the Rays for 12th, significantly better than the Cardinals and their +2500 line. Joe Maddon’s Angels (+3300) are even with the Reds, while the White Sox (+5000) will pay out twice as much as the Cubs if you lay a bet on them to win.
