The Yankees And Mets Are Tied In Exciting Odds

The New York Yankees and the New York Mets have put together impressive rosters to compete for the World Series in 2023.

The Yankees brought in Carlos Rodon to fortify their rotation and serve as a co-ace with Gerrit Cole, and also brought back reliever Tommy Kahnle.

The most important part of their offseason, however, was retaining both Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo.

The Mets, on the other hand, went on a spending spree to make sure they remain as competitive as they were in 2022.

Yes, they lost top starter Jacob deGrom, but brought in reigning AL Cy Young award winner Justin Verlander, retained Brandon Nimmo and Edwin Diaz, and also signed Kodai Senga and Jose Quintana, among others.

As a result of their star-level rosters prior to the offseason and the work they did in the free agent market, the New York teams have elite odds to win the Fall Classic.

Which team has better odds?

Well, according to FOX Bet Live, they are actually tied.

“The Yankees and Mets have the same odds to win the World Series at @FOXBet Which is the ‘bettor’ bet?” FOX Bet Live tweeted.

The Mets might be a slightly better team, or at least more balanced.

However, they play in the extremely competitive National League, where the Atlanta Braves, the Philadelphia Phillies, the St. Louis Cardinals, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the San Diego Padres are all capable of winning it all.

The Yankees are one of the best teams in the American League, but haven’t been able to beat the Houston Astros in big spots since 2015.

That’s particularly concerning for their chances.

In any case, they are both firm candidates to win the World Series.
