Baseball sports betting: N.Y. Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies to meet in World Series

According to Bodog, BetUS and BroburySports online sportsbooks, MLB baseball fans can expect a rematch of the 2009 World Series this year, as the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are heavy favorites to win their respective league championships.

But the bookies like the Phillies to steal the crown from the Bronx Bombers.

The Texas Rangers may already call their 2010 a success, having won a playoff series for the first time in club history earlier this week. Regardless of their home-field advantage and a very, *very* long break for the Yankees, however, Texas is a +500 longshot to win the World Series at BroburySports and a hard-to-believe +225 in the game one money line at Bodog.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia just brings too much pitching in Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels for the San Francisco Giants to be getting much of a chance at the online sportsbooks. The Giants are the longshot to win the ‘Series at BroburySports at +600, while BetUS has them at +200 to win the pennant as Philly gets -260. Can you say “four-game sweep”?

The first pitch is thrown tonight and then it’s edge-of-your-seat baseball action through the October Classic: Get in on the betting action with quality online sportsbooks Bodog, BetUS and BroburySports!
