2009 World Series Winner: Yankees Say Sportsbooks, Ryan Howard to Be Home Run King

Despite missing the playoffs last year, the New York Yankees are the odds-on favorites to win the 2009 World Series according to BetUs Sportsbook. At +450, the Bronx Bombers are followed by their hated rivals the Boston Red Sox to win the Fall Classic. The BoSox check in at +500.

BetUs was recently named the world's No. 1 online sportsbook by OffshoreInsiders.com based on customer satisfaction.

The oddsmakers believe a Subway Series is quite possible as the NY Mets are the team deemed most likely to win the final game in October from the National League. Actually they are co-NL favorites with the Cubs to end the Curse of the Billy goat at +800.

Further demonstrating the past results are not indicative of future performance, the defending World Champion Philadelphia Phillies are relative long shots at +1400. That ties them with last year's breakout team, the American League Champion Tampa Bay Devil-less Rays, also at +1400.

Who will lead MLB in home runs? The Phillies Ryan Howard is +300 and the heavy (so to speak) favorite to have more four ply swats than anyone else.

Alex Rodriquez is +800 to put aside distractions and injuries to win the title. He is followed by Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera at +1000.

Also included are more than 100 proposition bets from the number of David Wright home runs to Cole Hamels wins.

"It's a rotisserie baseball player's paradise and potential goldmine," insists Bob Warner of Lines-Maker.com.

The author Joe Duffy is the only living American Grandmaster sports handicapper. Since his Cadillac Club days, "JD of the ACC" is accepted as the greatest MLB handicapper ever.
