AL Pennant Odds: Rays -180 After Sweep, Game 5 Next

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Rays are a -180 favorite in the AL pennant odds, shortened from -105, after a three-game sweep of the New York Yankees, and their opponent comes out of a deciding Game 5 on Saturday, Oct. 10, that sends either the Cleveland Guardians or the Chicago White Sox to St. Petersburg. The Rays beat the Yankees 4-3 at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, Oct. 7, when Victor Mesa Jr. hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning.
