Yankees now favorites to win the World Series ... sort of favorite

I say sort of because the oddsmakers are simply adjusting the odds to suit the volume of bets coming in.

The change comes after the Yankees started off the month on a tear, winning 10 of their first 12 games in May and 20 of their last 23 in total.

That stretch — along with the high volume of Yankees bets it encouraged — was the catalyst for the odds change.

“When we reopened our odds after the Giancarlo Stanton trade, the New York Yankees were listed as the favorites,” Kevin Bradley, Bovada’s sportsbook manager, told The Post. “They were soon passed by the defending champion Houston Astros as 15.94 percent of all bets were on them and our exposure led us to move them back to the favorites. Now after a league’s best start by the Yankees, combined with the fact that 19.9 percent of all bets in the last 10 days have been on them, we have moved them back into the favorite spot.”
