The Los Angeles Dodgers present an interesting dilemma for gamblers. The Dodgers are the defending World Series champions and boast the largest payroll in baseball. Los Angeles is the most popular team in the MLB and has been a virtual dynasty for over a decade.
The Dodgers carry overlay prices. Especially at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles offers no betting value. Too many squares load up on the Dodgers at home.
Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Brewers had the best record in baseball and were the second most profitable team on the board.
So far in this series, the Dodgers are flexing with a 2-0 lead, sweeping the Brewers in Milwaukee. Now the series shifts to Los Angeles, where the Dodgers need two more wins to clinch the NL pennant and advance to the World Series.
