In the grand tradition of looking ahead to next year the moment a season ends, bettors already have opening odds for the 2019 World Series.
The Washington Nationals opened with 16-1 odds to win it all next year, according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, which puts the team among the top 10 best bets in baseball but keeps them removed from the heavy favorites.
The 2018 champion Boston Red Sox are co-favorites to repeat, opening at 6-1 alongside the 2017 champion Houston Astros. Behind them at 7-1 are the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.
