The New York Yankees have the best winning percentage in baseball heading into Thursday's MLB action, as they continue to battle the rival Boston Red Sox for the lead in the American League East.
Oddsmakers have taken notice that the Yankees have extended their strong play from the start of the season, setting them as +500 favorites (bet $100 to win $500) on the 2018 World Series odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.
The defending World Series champion Houston Astros have been the favorites for much of the season, but they have fallen to the +525 second choice as they find themselves in a two-team race with the Seattle Mariners for the AL West title.
