The Boston Red Sox celebrate after winning Game 5 of a baseball American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros on Thursday, Oct. 18, 2018, in Houston.

The Boston Red Sox opened as a slight favorite in this city's sports books to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series.

Oddsmakers at the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook set the Red Sox as minus-135 favorites in early betting, with the Dodgers made plus-115 to win the series. That means a $135 bet on the Red Sox will pay $100, while a $100 bet on the Dodgers pays $115.

Odds on the individual games will be posted when pitching matchups are named.
