By all accounts the Detroit Tigers continue to make positive strides in their rebuild.
But oddsmakers say they won’t be any closer to contending for a championship in 2021 than they were in 2020.
The Tigers, fresh off a season in which they finished with the third-worst record in baseball (23-35, .397), have the longest World Series odds for 2021, tied with the Baltimore Orioles at 1,000-1, according to SportsBettingDime.com.
The champion Los Angeles Dodgers top the list at 9-2, followed by the New York Yankees at 7-1, and the Atlanta Braves and AL champ Tampa Bay Rays at 10-1.
