The 2022 MLB World Series champions will be either the Houston Astros or the Philadelphia Phillies, with the American League and National League winners set to contest a 7-game series starting on Friday, October 28.
It’s not a huge surprise that the Astros are in the Fall Classic as they were the joint-3rd favorites to win it all when the season began, level with the White Sox at +1000 odds and with only the +470 Dodgers and +950 Blue Jays ahead of them.
The Phillies’ success has been much more unexpected. They were available at +2500 odds in the spring and have defied the odds throughout the playoffs. Let’s take a look at the 2022 World Series odds.
