We’re just past the midpoint of the 2018 MLB regular season, so now is the perfect time to take a look at the updated 2018 World Series odds for each of the 30 teams to win this season’s World Series, as well as to make some predictions as to what will happen the rest of the way. At this writing, Boston has edged out to a one-game lead over the Yankees in the American League East, but that should go back and forth the rest of the way. Cleveland has started to pull away in the AL Central, leading Minnesota by 11 ½ games. The Seattle Mariners have closed back to within just a game of Houston in the AL West. In the National League, Washington is still six games back of Atlanta in the East — and five games back of Philadelphia, who continues to defy expectations. In the NL Central, Milwaukee is clinging to their 1 ½-game lead over the Cubs. In the West, the Dodgers have clawed all the way back into a die with Arizona for the division lead, despite two different stints for Clayton Kershaw on the disabled list.
