Vegas: Yanks The Fav

From Bloomberg:
The St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees are favored by Las Vegas oddsmakers and futures traders to meet in the World Series as baseball’s playoffs begin today.
The Cardinals are 6-5 favorites to win the National League pennant at Las Vegas Sports Consultants, a company that advises casinos on sports betting lines. That means a successful $5 bet on St. Louis would return $6 plus the original amount of the wager. The Yankees are 9-5 favorites to win the American League pennant. Each team is listed at 3-1 to win the World Series, Major League Baseball’s championship.
The Yankees are 9-5 favorites to win the American League pennant.
Maybe that’s the tune to grind it to?
The Yankees are inevitably a favorite owing to the money placed on them.
