EXPERT ANALYSIS: NLDS moves to Game 3 with both games knotted up
Who are the favourites for the Baseball World Series?
The Dodgers remain the favourite to win the coveted Commissioner’s Trophy, but now the Yankees have moved into second place, with the Phillies rounding out the top three.

- New York Yankees +370
- Philadelphia Phillies +450
- San Diego Padres +650
- Kansas City Royals +850

The National League Division Series is set to move into Game 3, and all the games so far have been filled with typical October drama. The Phillies and Mets are even, while the Padres and Dodgers went all out in their feisty tie, which now moves to San Diego with the series tied at one game apiece.
Both series have now become a best-of-three, with the Dodgers and Padres each needing two more wins to claim a spot in the NL Championship Series. Meanwhile, the Phillies and Mets are searching for separation after two games filled with wild momentum shifts.
