Facing elimination against a better-rated team that they'll have to beat twice on the road, the Detroit Tigers are looking at 4:1 odds just for the chance to represent the Junior Circuit in the Fall Classic.

In tonight's game, the system picks the Cardinals over the Dodgers. Then again, Clayton Kershaw. Either way, St. Louis still has a major advantage over Los Angeles in the remaining two games.

The top World Series outcome remains Boston over St. Louis in six games. In fact, with both Los Angeles and Detroit staring elimination in the face, the top eight outcomes involve the Cardinals and Red Sox.
