ARLINGTON, Texas – After one of the most unique, tumultuous, and lonely seasons of Major League Baseball in history, only two teams now remain.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Tampa Bay Rays are the final two teams advancing to the Fall Classic following two exciting Game 7 victories.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were able to overcome a 3-1 series deficit to defeat the Atlanta Braves. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays were able to avoid the upset and defeat the Houston Astros in their 7-game series.
Now, these two powerhouses will clash in the World Series, where odds are already available via the major online sportsbooks.
2020 World Series Champion Odds
- Los Angeles Dodgers -200
- Tampa Bay Rays -170
Despite playing terrific baseball over the course of the AL playoffs, the Tampa Bay Rays still come into this series as the large underdog to the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have been the favorites to win the World Series the entire MLB season, and outside of their 3-1 hole against the Braves, have had the shortest odds to win the championship all year.
On the other side, many MLB handicappers were slow to place the Rays as a serious World Series threat. Despite clinching the No. 1 seed in the AL, many sportsbooks still gave the Rays longer odds to win than teams like the New York Yankees.
That all has changed now as the Rays and Dodgers are the final two teams remaining in this series.
Game 1 of the series is Tuesday, where the Dodgers are also the favorites.

There will be some terrific pitching in this series, but the story of the playoffs so far for both these clubs has been the offense.
For the Dodgers, NLCS MVP Corey Seager has been white-hot, hitting over .500 through the seven games against the Braves. He was helped out by the clutch appearance of former-MVP Cody Bellinger, who hit a go-ahead solo home run to put the Dodgers up in Game 7.

For the Rays, the emergence of Randy Arozarena has been electric. The young star has hit seven home runs so far these playoffs, and will lead the Tampa Bay attack into the World Series.
It all begins this Tuesday, with all eyes upon these two fantastic teams.
