Sportsbooks are taking extreme steps to try to balance out the heavy betting action coming in on the Los Angeles Dodgers, but nothing has worked so far.
The Dodgers are +275 to win the World Series at ESPN BET as of Thursday morning, making them the biggest Opening Day favorite since the 2002 New York Yankees (+200), according to ESPN Research. The Dodgers' win total of 105.5 is 12 wins higher than any other team this year (Atlanta Braves, 93.5).
The Braves at +800 have the second-shortest World Series odds, followed by the Yankees (+850).
