The MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and with no post-deadline waiver period for teams to make more moves, the hay is in the proverbial barn.
That means we have a clearer sense of which teams are serious World Series contenders entering the final two months of the season.
Are the Boston Red Sox among those contenders after standing pat Wednesday? We'll let the latest 2019 World Series odds from SuperBook USA's Jeff Sherman speak for themselves.
The Red Sox have 30-1 odds to repeat as champs, tied with the Milwaukee Brewers for the 10th-best odds in MLB.
That's down from the 25-1 title odds Boston had in mid-July, a sign that Dave Dombrowski's decision not to address his beleaguered bullpen may cost the Red Sox down the stretch run.
Boston's American League competitors also got better, especially the Houston Astros, who are the new World Series favorites after adding Zack Greinke to a loaded rotation featuring Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole.
Boston Red Sox
The rival New York Yankees still have the third-best World Series odds at 6-1 despite staying relatively quiet at the deadline, while the Tampa Bay Rays, who sit 2.5 games ahead of the Red Sox in the second Wild Card spot, also boast better odds than Boston at 25-1.
Dombrowski and the Red Sox front office are betting on their core players returning to last year's World Series form to help them make the playoffs, but it appears Vegas isn't quite keen on that bet.
