It's not the oddsmakers, it's based on how they are being bet. Yankees always get overbet. As do the Red Sox.
Angels definitely an overlay, I think Yankees and Red Sox big underlays. Cubs a big underlay as well.
Probability of Sox or Yankees winning it all is probably the best, just not any value. I don't think I have ever seen a more evenly matched ALDS and NLDS than this year. There really would be no shocker in any of the 4 series.
But I'll give it a shot:
Sox in 4
Yankees in 5
Phillies in 4
Diamondbacks in 4
Sox over Yankees in 6
Diamondbacks over Phillies in 6
Sox in 7 over Diamondbacks for WS

was quite a n odd turn of events.. Yankees started out preseason as the favorite to win it all.. They then hit rock bottom a nd were left for dead, then go on a sick run and have huge momentum, then get smoked out of the playoffs.. emotional rollercoaster for a yankee fan

This is obvious:
Long traditions and big population centers do not guarantee wins!!
