Tigers have longest title odds for 2021; over-under on wins is 63

The Detroit News

 By all accounts the Detroit Tigers continue to make positive strides in their rebuild.

But oddsmakers say they won’t be any closer to contending for a championship in 2021 than they were in 2020.

The Tigers, fresh off a season in which they finished with the third-worst record in baseball (23-35, .397), have the longest World Series odds for 2021, tied with the Baltimore Orioles at 1,000-1, according to SportsBettingDime.com.

The champion Los Angeles Dodgers top the list at 9-2, followed by the New York Yankees at 7-1, and the Atlanta Braves and AL champ Tampa Bay Rays at 10-1.

The Tigers also have the worst over-under win total, based on a 162-game season, at 63, according to SportsBettingDime.com. The Dodgers also lead that list at 103.5.

Mike Trout (4-1) is favored to win his fourth AL MVP Award while in the NL the betting favorite is Fernando Tatis (10-1).
