The Yankees did not live up to expectations during the shortened 60-game season. They lost the AL East crown to the Rays, but they have an opportunity to make all of that right in the ALDS. The Yankees will have Gerrit Cole on the mound in Game 1 so they have to love their chances to take an early lead in the series.

With that said, the Rays shouldn’t be overlooked. They are nipping at the Yankees’ heels when it comes to World Series odds. The series line between these two teams is pretty much a toss-up. The Yankees (-127) are slight favorites over the Rays (+105) in the ALDS on DraftKings Sportsbook.

On the opposite side of the American League, the Oakland Athletics and Houston Astros will square off. The Astros are down this year, but they might be getting hot at the right time. Sign-stealing scandal aside, they still have a ton of talent in the lineup. Oakland’s lineup is strong and their bullpen is deep, but the Athletics always choke in the postseason. For reference, Billy Beane has one movie on his resumé, but no ALCS wins.

In the National League, the Dodgers are the heavy favorite to win the pennant, but they will face an upstart Padres team that is fueled by rising star Fernando Tatis Jr. “Slam Diego” came back from down a game in the Wild Card Series despite missing their two best starting pitchers. If they can get healthy before the NLDS, Los Angeles could be in trouble.

Most people expect the Dodgers and Yankees to meet in the World Series. They are the teams with the two highest payrolls in all of MLB. Oddsmakers still expect that matchup to happen, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
