The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the 2022 MLB season as World Series favorites. And they still are — just not everywhere.
Here come the New York Yankees.
The Bronx Bombers own the best record in baseball with the All-Star break approaching. They've undoubtedly earned the betting market's respect, moving into the favorite role at a couple sportsbooks in Action Network's trackers (you can browse and shop MLB betting odds and more here).

The Yankees closed the week on a high note, walking off against the Astros in a 6-3 win in extras on Sunday.
Aaron Judge's game-clinching, three-run homer also vaulted him into odds-on AL MVP favorite for a team that — despite splitting its last eight games — has flat-out pummeled opponents this season.
The Yankees own a league-leading +144 run differential — 12 more than the Dodgers. After that, no other club has been better than +67.
New York has been blistering-hot at Yankee Stadium (31-9 overall), while posting a solid 26-12 clip against AL East opponents.
To say they've been a good bet this season would also be a sheer understatement: $100 bettors playing Yankees moneyline every game would be up $1,344 — the largest profit of any team in the majors.
Meanwhile, the Astros and Mets own the third- and fourth-shortest odds at every single book. Houston's consensus title price is +650 while the Mets' is +750.
