Baseball's Opening Day 2018
b'The Westgate bookmakers opened both World Series champion Houston and runner-up Los Angeles at odds of -1100 to make the playoffs, meaning a bet of $1,100 is required to make a $100 profit.\\xa0Gamblers who want to take shots the other way can get +700 odds (7/1) on either team not making the playoffs. In that case, a winning $100 bet would result in a $700 profit.\\n\\nThe Nationals have the next shortest odds to make the playoffs, opening at -700 at the Westgate.\\n\\nThe Yankees (-400) and Cubs (-340) round out the top five, and the Red Sox (-310) are sixth from the top.'
