Ouch. The oddsmakers aren't too optimistic about the Tigers, huh? The Twins at 80/1 are a pretty nice bet, assuming they get their pitching sorted out this offseason.
There are still three and a half months of offseason to go, but for now, there are your 2018 World Series odds. The Dodgers are the early favorites, and the Astros are right behind them, threatening to repeat.
