“Despite the Giants battling the Dodgers all year for the NL West they hung around in the mid teens in terms of Odds to Win the World Series and we took quite a bit of bets on them throughout the season, in fact almost double compared to the Royals even though they were as high as 50-1 at one point. Even though this series is close with the Royals as slight favorites I expect to be taking quite a bit on the Giants game to game as we have seen throughout the playoffs.”
