After an upset-filled wild card round, the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees open their postseasons Saturday as the top betting favorites to win the World Series.

Some sportsbooks have the Dodgers listed as World Series favorites; others have the Yankees. Both are favorites in their divisional round series. The Dodgers are around -135 favorites over the San Diego Padres, and the Yankees are -210 favorites over the Kansas City Royals.

Bookmakers, however, are more concerned about the upstart Detroit Tigers, who, in a month, have gone from long shots to liability for sportsbooks.
