With the major league baseball regular season winding down to its final three weeks, Las Vegas oddsmakers have made the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets favorites to play each other in the World Series.

According to Covers.com, the Red Sox and Mets have the best combo chance of advancing to the Fall Classic with odds at +600, which means a player would win $600 on a $100 bet.

The next-best matchup? The Red Sox versus the Chicago Cubs at +650, followed by the New York Yankees versus the Mets at +750.

Since Boston has remained a steady favorite to win the World Series throughout the season, at +300 according to Betus.com, it is not surprising to see the Red Sox as the pick for the American League.

But the Yankees are on the move. Thanks to their second-half surge, the Yankees have moved from +600 to +500 to win it all, according to Betus.com.

Although Alex Rodriguez appears to have a clear path to the American League most-valuable-player award, the National League picture is a lot cloudier. Albert Pujols, David Wright, Chase Utley and Matt Holliday are rated the same at +300, according to Sportsbook.com, with Chipper Jones at +500.

And Barry Bonds? Not listed.
