Oddsmakers in Las Vegas have picked the Yankees and Cardinals as the favorites to meet in the World Series later this month.

The Yankees are 3-2 favorites to win the championship, oddsmaker Tony Sinisi of Las Vegas Sports Consultants said Wednesday.

"That's really prohibitive," Sinisi told The Associated Press. "It just looks like a Yankee year, and if it's not the Yankees, you can draw them from a hat."
