Sin City is jumping on the Royals bandwagon.

Kansas City now has 9/1 odds of winning the World Series, according to the Las Vegas Sportsbook at Bovada.

From Royals Review:

"That is the fourth-best odds in all of baseball, behind the Dodgers, Cardinals, and Tigers. The Royals began the season at 33/1 odds to win the World Series, tied for 16th in baseball, and a longer shot than the Cubs, Indians, or White Sox.

The Dodgers are the favorites to win it all at 6/1, with the Cardinals at 7/1, and the Tigers at 15/2. The Philadelphia Phillies are the longest odds at 500/1. The Royals are 15/4 odds to win the pennant, behind only the Tigers at 7/2. Both the Royals and Tigers are 11/10 odds to win the division."

Royals Review also points out that Eric Hosmer has the fifth-best odds of winning the AL MVP at 12/1 with Lorenzo Cain at 16/1.
