2009 World Series Betting Odds (Updated)
There are still some 2009 World Series betting odds available heading into Thursday and Game 2 following the Philadelphia Phillies 6-1 win over the New York Yankees. Odds to win the 2009 World Series will be available at many online sportsbooks come Thursday morning.
The 2009 World Series betting odds available at Bookmaker.com during the early morning hours of Thursday immediately following Game 1 involved whether there will be more than 15 home runs in the series.
YES pays $14 for every $10 bet. NO requires a bet of $19 to win $10 (the $19 plus winnings is returned should there be less than 15 home runs in the series).
Chase Utley homered off CC Sabathia twice, in the third and sixth innings of Game 1.
"With a two home run average and the assumption that this series goes seven games, the number would fall on "14" but the OVER could be a good bet," says Don Shapiro of Gambling911.com.
The Phillies alone boast one of only four players in baseball history with four straight seasons of 40 home runs and 130 RBI in the regular season, that being Ryan Howard. Of course, the Yankees have their own top-of-the-line home run hitters (can you say A-Rod?).
