And then there were two.
For the first time since 1993, the Toronto Blue Jays have reached the World Series and have opened as +184 underdogs on FanDuel to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers.
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Toronto Blue Jays | +184 |
| Los Angeles Dodgers | -220 |
After waiting 32 years to return to The Fall Classic, Toronto runs into a Dodgers team on the doorstep of a dynasty after winning the World Series last year.
In a true battle of David vs. Goliath, the Dodgers opened the season as the betting favourites to win the World Series, meanwhile the Blue Jays odds ballooned as high as 100-1 in May after a slow start to the season.
The Blue Jays to win the World Series was 65-1 on MLB Opening Day - longest odds of any AL team other than the Angels, Athletics, and White Sox. Toronto was as high as 100-1 @FanDuelCanada May 28th. Only the Tigers had longer odds than the Blue Jays (8-1) to start the playoffs. pic.twitter.com/rO4aRI51Y4

Despite Toronto having home-field advantage, they remain underdogs to a Dodgers team that has dropped just one of the 10 playoff games they have played this season.
The Dodgers won the season series 2-1, outscoring Toronto 18-7.
Here is a look at a few series markets on FanDuel.
| Market | Blue Jays | Dodgers |
|---|---|---|
| Game 1 | +126 | -148 |

Ohtani favourite to win World Series MVP
Shohei Ohtani enters the series with the best odds to win World Series MVP at +170.
Ohtani enters the series on the heels of playing arguably the best baseball game in the sport’s history with 10 strikeouts and three home runs to help the Dodgers complete a sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers.
However, prior to Game 4, Ohtani was struggling at the plate and is hitting just .220 in the postseason.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is next in the odds to win World Series MVP at +480.
The 26-year-old has a .442 batting average in 11 playoff games this year with six home runs and 12 RBIs.
Here is a look at the top five players in odds:
| Player | ALCS MVP Odds |
|---|---|
| Shohei Ohtani | +155 |
| Vladimir Guerrero Jr. | +600 |
| George Springer | +1000 |
| Freddie Freeman | +1000 |
| Teoscar Hernandez | +1700 |
