The L.A. Dodgers (43-17) had the best record in baseball’s shortened season and are favored to win it all (as they have been the last couple of years).
Vegas oddsmakers place the Dodgers (13/10), Padres (5/1) and Braves (5/1) as the three top contending teams in the NL. The Braves open a best-of-three game wild card series against the Reds Wednesday in Atlanta. The winner takes on the winner of the Cubs-Marlins series in the NLDS in Houston next week.
Tampa (16/5), New York (17/5) and Minnesota (5/1) are three favored teams to represent the AL in the World Series, which will be played Oct. 20-28 at the Texas Rangers’ ballpark in Arlington, Texas.
