With the MLB trade deadline looming, the Los Angeles Dodgers are the frontrunners to sign Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal, a move that could push the team from a +175 to roughly +140 World Series favorite, according to Caesars Sports. The trade would also increase betting interest in the Dodgers and create a futures parlay liability for the sportsbook.
Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox have surged from a 100/1 long‑shot to a top-10 World Series contender after a 15‑game win streak, prompting increased betting activity on their postseason matchups. playerbros.org
