Home field, naturally, is a big factor when it comes to setting odds for these series. For example, the Dodgers are -180 favorites vs. the Mets for a series that begins in Los Angeles, but just -125 if Game 1 were to be played at Citi Field in New York.

The steepest prices on the betting board belong to the Blue Jays, who are listed as -200 favorites at home vs. both the Astros and Rangers. Toronto is -180 in an ALDS matchup against the Yankees.
