Unsurprisingly, the synthetic hold (more or less the discrepancy between the sportsbooks' implied odds and the actual odds) of the World Series Market (19.2%) is much higher than that of the Divisional Market (9.1%). This makes sense given A) it's easier for sportsbooks to hide their rake amount as the size of the multi-way market increases and B) the sportsbooks may want less culpability on longer odds.
