Yankees or Phillies to win the World Series?  Even odds

It also seems to me that that must have been pretty close to what the odds may have said at the start of the season, too, no?  Maybe it was 40% back then?  Someone know?

That is, we’ve played 125 games to get to the point of where we expected to be all along.  Where’s the Law & Order twist that should happen right around now?
