2008 World Series Odds on Tampa Bay/Philadelphia

Written October 21, 2008 by Jack Jones

With the World Series only one day away we figured we would search out some of the latest odds on the matchup between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies. There certainly weren’t many people we expected these two to be squaring off when the season began back in the spring. Now that the teams are set, fans are curious as to what the experts are expecting from the games. We took at look at the latest baseball odds posted from one of our favorite books in BetUS to see what they have to say. If you are looking to bet on baseball during the Series then read our BetUS review to see why we like them so much.

Philadelphia 4-3 11/2
Tampa Bay 4-0 9/1
Tampa Bay 4-1 9/2
Tampa Bay 4-2 4/1
Tampa Bay 4-3 9/2

It looks like the experts are really camping on the Rays to end this thing in either five games or seven. Not much hope from the experts for the Phillies to end this thing early, as they see it going the distance for Philadelphia to have a chance.
