The World Series is under way and the Yankees are already facing an uphill struggle after being crushed 6-1 in the opening game of the series. New York were favourites for the series at -175 (bet $175 to win $100 profit), making the Phillies underdogs at +190 (bet $100 to win $190 profit). However, the defending champions have seen their odds slashed after their triumph and are now only very minor underdogs at +100 to New York's -115.
