World Series in One Venue
The 2020 World Series will be the first to be played in one venue since 1944. That year, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Browns 4-2 in a series that was exclusively played at St. Louis’ Sportsman Park. In 1921 and 1922, the World Series was held at New York’s Polo Grounds. But that was because the Yankees and New York Giants had the same home field back then.
The Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas is a retractable roof stadium with artificial turf which opened this year adjacent to the Rangers’ old ballpark. The Rangers are currently in last place in the AL West with a record of 17-30 heading to Tuesday’s games. They have little chance of making the postseason and are nine games out of the Wild Card race.
Dodgers as Betting Favorites
The L.A. Dodgers are the odds on favorite to win the 2020 World Series aat +325 at BetOnline. As of Tuesday, the Dodgers are 1.5 games up on the Chicago White Sox for the best record in MLB. AL East leaders Tampa Bay Rays are second in the World Series oddsboard at +750 while perennial favorites New York Yankees are third at +800. The San Diego Padres who are 1.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West are fourth at +900. The current AL leaders White Sox are fifth at +1200.
The Dodgers have been good at everything this season. Whether its scoring runs, preventing them, recording hits, recording outs, an many more, they have been a standout team this season. The Dodgers have run differential of +98 and the next best team is San Diego at +83. But despite being on top of the Power Rankings all-season long, no one can say for sure right now who’s going to win the World Series.
