The Chicago Cubs are the clear-cut favorites to win the World Series, a feat that would end their 108-year championship drought and take a bite out of some, but not all, Las Vegas sportsbooks. Air Max 90 Outlet Italia .The Cubs are 9-5 to win the World Series at the Westgate SuperBook, followed by the Boston Red Sox at 9-2, the Texas Rangers at 5-1 and the Los Angeles Dodgers at 7-1. The Toronto Blue Jays and Washington Nationals are each 8-1, with the San Francisco Giants and Cleveland Indians each listed at 12-1.Chicago is the worst-case scenario for the Wynn race and sportsbook, which, for the past two years, had offered a proposition wager on whether the Cubs would win the World Series in either 2016 or 2017. In March, the props odds were Yes +250 and No -300. Bettors sided heavily with Yes.Overall, three times as much money has been bet on the Cubs to win the World Series as any other team at the Wynn, including a handful of futures bets that would pay out six figures on a Chicago championship.The Cubs are a pretty substantial loss for us, not just for that prop but also for the [World Series] futures, Wynn executive director Johnny Avello said. But Im working on it. Ive got about three weeks to play around and see what I can do. The Wynn is offering the Cubs at 2-1 against the playoff field, a -240 favorite. The wiser money, Avello said, has been on the field. But the betting public is overwhelmingly on the Cubs, per usual.Station Casinos said it has taken twice as many bets on the Cubs to win the World Series as any other team. But not all of them are expected to be cashed, even if the Cubs win it all for the first time since 1908.If they win, I bet several [bets] wont get cashed in and will be saved as mementos on the walls of many North Side Chicago homes and Cubs fans everywhere, Jason McCormick, sportsbook director for Station Casinos, said.Betting on the Cubs to win the World Series has been a tradition in Las Vegas for decades. They are almost always among the most popular picks by the betting public. Bookmakers even joke about how many casinos have been built off of the Cubs World Series bets.This might be the year they catch up to us, Avello added.Dont worry, though, Las Vegas is expected to be able to withstand a Cubs championship.The Cubs are our worst liability by far, said Bob Scucci, director of race and sports for Boyd Gaming, who works out of The Orleans casino, but because they opened up with such short odds, it is not nearly as bad as it could have been. In prior years it would have been four or five times as bad. Caesars Palace said it would come out ahead if the Cubs win the World Series. The Giants are the worst-case scenario at both Caesars and Station Casinos.William Hills Nevada sportsbook said its also in good shape on the Cubs. The Giants are the books worst-case scenario, which would turn the futures pool into a break-even wash.The Rangers attracted two significant futures bets at William Hill. On Dec. 7, a bettor placed a $25,000 on Texas winning the World Series at 15-1. The bet would net $375,000. And, on Aug. 8, the book took a $20,500 bet on the Rangers at +600. The bet would net $123,000. Adidas Superstar Supercolor Scontate .J. Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night.

The Browns coaching search remains incomplete. LONDON -- Whatever setbacks and humiliations Englands players have endured in recent years, they only have to look to neighbor Scotland to see how much worse it could be.They are in the same World Cup qualifying group, but Saturdays games showed they are far from being rivals on the pitch.With its third different manager in as many matches, England experienced some frustration in only managing to beat Malta 2-0 at the start of Gareth Southgates interim reign.But Englands turmoil is eclipsed by Scotlands predicament as it chases its first finals since the 1998 World Cup. Scotland came close to being upset by Lithuania in Glasgow on Saturday, avoiding losing to a team ranked 73 places below them thanks only to a late goal salvaging a 1-1 draw.Scotland, which beat 10-man Malta 5-1 in its Group F opener last month, fell behind to Lithuania when captain Fedor Cernych held off Grant Hanley and played a one-two with Vykintas Slivka before striking into the net.But substitute James McArthur came to Scotlands rescue in the 89th minute, heading in the equalizer after connecting with a long throw-in.Only the top team qualifies for the finals in Russia, and Scotland already trails Group F leader England by two points. Slovenia is behind Scotland on goal difference in third after beating Slovakia 1-0.ENGLAND 2, MALTA 0Southgate enjoyed a straightforward but unchallenging introduction to senior international management as a second new England era in a month opened.Daniel Sturridges header from Jordan Hendersons cross, and Dele Allis strike in the first half sealed the win, with England lacking dynamism and urgency up front against the 176th-ranked visitors.We had cchances for it to be more, so thats the one disappointment in the game -- that we didnt get more goals, Henderson said. Nike Juvenate Cremisi/Nere Uomo Scarpe Da Running. I felt as though we got a little sloppy as the game went on.Regardless, this performance is unlikely to be a factor when the Football Association decides whether to entrust Southgate with the job as Sam Allardyces permanent successor.Southgate was rapidly promoted from the under-21s last week when Allardyce was dismissed over comments in a newspaper sting that left the FA doubting his integrity for its top job.Allardyce was in charge only 67 days, replacing Roy Hodgson after Englands miserable European Championship loss to Iceland.Allardyce won the first match on the road to the 2018 World Cup in Slovakia last month, but never got a chance to lead his team out at Englands national stadium as a result of his unguarded comments to undercover reporters. A British newspapers video showed Allardyce appearing to offer advice to fictitious businessmen on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice, and also negotiating a 400,000 pound (about $500,000) public-speaking contract.Southgate, whose only previous senior managerial role ended seven years ago with Middlesbrough, is viewed as encouragingly less colorful than the brash Allardyce for such a prestigious, high-profile job.But he has only four games as interim manager, and judgment of Southgates credentials is to come. After traveling to Slovenia for the next qualifier on Tuesday, England hosts Scotland and Spain next month in north London.
