Major League Baseball got what it wanted, as the New York Yankees are returning to the Fall Classic for the first time since 2003, as they will take on the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies. The appearance by the Yankees guarantees a huge audience for the duration of the World Series.
The public's fondness for the Yankees has been showing up in betting circles, as well. The Yankees are 2-to-1 favorites to defeat the Phillies and may be even higher before the first pitch is thrown.
