First, let’s all agree it’s way too early for this.

The 2019 season won’t be over until tonight’s climactic Game 7 between the Nationals and Astros.

An entire winter of free agency and trades is still to come, which will shape the future direction of quite a few teams.

Some are still working on their infrastructure, with two looking to hire GMs and four without managers.

That said, a couple of the online oddsmakers came out today with their opening lines for who will win the 2020 World Series.

And the initial take is that they have somewhat 2020 vision for the Rays, who are listed at 20-1 coming off a season in which they won the second AL wild-card spot and took the Astros to a fifth and deciding game in the division series.
