Update: Oddsmakers Split Over Odds of Tigers Winning the World Series

September 22, 2014, 5:19 PM

 

Vegas oddsmakers aren't fawning over the Tigers' chances of winning the World Series. Others elsewhere are more optimistic.

The website VegasINSIDER.com currently gives the Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Nationals the best odds of winning the World Series.

The Baltimore Orioles and St. Louis Cardinals are next, followed by the Oakland Athletics and then the Kansas City Royals.

After that, come the Tigers with 12-1 odds. Detroit is eighth down on the list.

Another book,making site, Bovada, on Monday afternoon gives the Tigers 3-1 odds of winning the American League pennant and 6-1 odds of taking the World Series, The Detroit News reports. Bovada takes bets under a gaming license issued by the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada.

So let's hope the Vegas folks don't know what they're talking about.

The Tigers are currently 1 1/2 games up on the Kansas City Royals.

The Tigers start a three-game series Monday night at Comerica Park against Chicago and finish the season at home with  four games against the Minnesota Twins.
