American League Divisions Preview: Odds, Best Bets

The Boston Red Sox have won the American League East each of the previous three seasons, parlaying that into their ninth World Series title as well in 2018. However, it is the New York Yankees - not the Red Sox - who are listed as the favorites to win both the AL East title and AL pennant in 2019 at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.

New York is a slight +100 favorite (bet $100 to win $100) on the AL East division odds to take home its first division championship since 2012 over Boston at +125. The Yankees are also +275 to win the pennant compared to +300 for the Red Sox, who are still tied as the second choice in the league with the Houston Astros while the Cleveland Indians are fourth at +700.
