The Toronto Blue Jays are rolling so far in this year's postseason, dismantling the New York Yankees in 4 games, they find themselves in the ALCS, but despite their impressive performance, the Los Angeles Dodgers are still favourited to win the World Series.
The Blue Jays still await their opponent between the Detroit Tigers and the Seattle Mariners as the ALCS is set to begin Sunday.
Toronto Blue Jays still not betting favourite to win the world series.
The staff over at TSN broke down the odds of the remaining teams to win the World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays are sitting in second behind the Dodgers. These odds came out before the Dodgers clinched their ALCS berth, so the Blue Jays at the time were the only team confirmed to have advanced.
"As of Thursday morning FanDuel lists the Dodgers as the favourites to win the World Series at +185. The Dodgers, who won the title last year, lead their NLDS series 2-1 over the Phillies with game 4 set for Thursday night in Los Angeles"-TSN
While it is undeniable how good the Dodgers are, it is discouraging to see the Blue Jays weren't rated slightly higher than LA, being the only team to have advanced so far. And it wasn't a narrow victory for the Blue Jays, they blew the Yankees out twice, in convincing fashion.
"FanDuel seems Blue Jays-Dodgers matchup as the most likely in the World Series, with betting odds for that at +250. Dodgers against Tigers is at +650 and Los Angeles against Seattle is +700. A Blue Jays against Brewers series is second favourite overall at +470."-TSN
At the very least FanDuel has the two most likely scenarios for the World Series matchups to include the Blue Jays in both. With a convincing series win in the ALCS for the Blue Jays, they could be seen as favourites heading into the World Series.
