The Red Sox capped off their most successful season in franchise history by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games in the 2018 World Series. It wasn’t an easy task, as Boston had to knock off  a pair of 100-win juggernauts to get there, but Alex Cora’s squad was the last team standing thanks to their timely hitting and clutch pitching.

Super sub Steve Pearce was named World Series MVP after hitting .333 with three home runs and eight RBI. It was an unlikely honor for a journeyman who had played with six different franchises in his 12-year career before being traded to Boston in late June.

Relive the highs and lows of the Red Sox (and all 29 other Major League teams) in the graphs below. The graphs were generated by averaging the odds from multiple sources and were updated regularly over the course of the season. You can view each team’s odds in isolation or alongside similar teams.

2018 World Series Odds

2018 Playoff Teams

Few teams have experienced more ups and downs this season than the Dodgers, whose odds were as long as +1800 on June 1st after they fell to four games below .500. LA has since seen its fortunes improve after getting unexpected contributions from Max Muncy and Matt Kemp, and adding four-time All-Star Manny Machado.

AL East World Series Odds

AL Central World Series Odds

The Cleveland Indians have dominated the AL Central since it’s inception in 1994, winning nine division titles. Their most recent title came in 2017 when they won an AL-best 102 games.

AL West World Series Odds

No one expected the Rangers to be world beaters entering the 2018 season, but Texas has performed far worse than even its harshest critics could have anticipated. The team’s long odds got even longer on April 12th when All-Star shortstop Elvis Andrus went down with a broken elbow.

NL East World Series Odds

No team experienced a more precipitous fall from grace during the offseason than the Marlins, whose average World Series odds plummeted from +6600 on November 24th to +39000 on March 13th after the team unloaded Giancarlo Stanton, Dee Gordon, Marcell Ozuna, and Christian Yelich. Miami has gotten off to a predictably slow start in 2018 and is on pace to lose 100 games.

NL Central World Series Odds

Few teams needed more immediate help during the offseason than the Reds, who finished 2017 with a dismal 68-94 record. Unfortunately management didn’t seem to get the memo and instead got rid of All-Stars Zack Cozart and Bronson Arroyo, and veteran pitchers Scott Feldman and Drew Storen. Vegas took notice and dropped Cincinnati’s odds from +5000 on November 24th to +20000 on February 21st.

NL West World Series Odds

The Dodgers have owned the NL West since it was realigned in 1994. LA has won the last five division titles and entered this season with average odds of +530 to win the World Series.
