Congratulations to the Texas Rangers who proved without a shadow of a doubt that they are the best team in all of baseball.
Yes, there may have been more talented teams on paper … But as we all know, games certainly are not played on paper.
Going an incredible 11-0 on the road, the Rangers capped of the World Series title by dismantling the Arizona Diamondbacks in just 5 games.
With that, the 2023 MLB season is officially over.
We’ll have plenty of time to dissect free-agency and the entire Hot-Stove season … But let’s take a quick look ahead at the odds to win next season’s World Series.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Atlanta Braves are favorites to win the 2024 World Series (+600), closely followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers (+700), Houston Astros (+800) and the champion Texas Rangers (+800).
Rounding out the top-five is the Philadelphia Phillies at +1000 odds…
