When we last looked at the future MLB future betting odds around the 2019 World Series Champion at the start of May, the Houston Astros (32-16), Los Angeles Dodgers (31-17) and New York Yankees (29-17) were all positioned at +550 odds.

Since then, the Astros have emerged as the oddsmakers' most-likely option to win the 2019 World Series Championship. The Astros are now at +450, just slightly better than the Dodgers at +500.

The Dodgers ( +500) and Yankees ( +700) are still among the top three, but no longer share even odds with the Astros.

Moving Betting Line: 2019 World Series Future Odds Notes

Jon Durr - Paste BN Sports

• The Chicago Cubs' (27-18) jumped considerably, going from +2800 about a month ago to +1300. That puts them among the top-six MLB clubs with May quickly coming to an end.
• While still high on the list, the Yankees going from +550 to +700 shocked me a bit. It's possibly to get more action on them. Considering they're .630 on the season and leading the AL East (granted, by just a game over Tampa Bay and 4.5 ahead of Boston), they've done that while dealing with a metric ton of injury problems. When this team gets fully healthy, seeing them with the lowest odds wouldn't be a surprise. In other words, if you believe in the Yankees as a World Series contender, now is the time to invest for a better ROI…
• The Tampa Bay Rays (27-17) are getting some love from the oddsmakers, seeing their odds change by -600. They're now +1400 and among the top 10 teams in the league.
• The Arizona Diamondbacks (25-23), barely above .500 ball, saw a massive jump, going from +7500 to +3700 and being in the top-half of the league.
• Speaking of big changes to the odds, the Los Angeles Angels (22-25) - maybe just because of OF Mike Trout, who seems to just get better and better each year - were +10000 about a month ago. They've seen their future odds go to +6500, a considerable change thus far for a team below .500 on the season.

• A hot start by the Seattle Mariners (23-27) where their betting line was +3700 saw that number change considerably, with the M's now +7000 after slowing down. They're 3-7 in their last 10 games.
• The Oakland Athletics (23-25) took a massive +3500 point swing the wrong direction, too. They're now +8500 after being +5000 a month ago.
