As Covers shared, LV SuperBook has the Dodgers listed at 12-1 to capture the championship and the Diamondbacks just behind them at 14-1.Covers CoversUpdated MLB futures odds from LVSuperBook to win the 2018 World Series. em7GN2DbrqArizona and Los Angeles have to worry about more than each other in the race for the division crown and playoff positioning, as the Colorado Rockies are a mere one game behind the Diamondbacks and 1.5 games ahead of the Dodgers.The National League Central is also an issue for those NL West teams looking to make the playoffs, as the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers occupy the two wild-card positions with Milwaukee enjoying a one-game advantage over Colorado for the last postseason spot.It is a testament to Los Angeles' recent track record it still has fairly favorable odds to win the division and World Series as it is in third place in the division and is on the outside looking in at the playoff picture this late in the season. It won the NL West in each of the last five years Shohei Ohtani Jersey , dropped last year's World Series in a heartbreaking seven games and features notable players such as Manny Machado, Clayton Kershaw and Justin Turner.However, the Diamondbacks are 8-4 against the Dodgers and 7-5 against the Rockies this season and have set the standard in the division to this point. If they continue taking care of business in the seven head-to-head games they have remaining against each division rival, Arizona will be in ideal position to win the NL West and play into October. Jim McIsaac/Getty ImagesNew York Yankees catcherAustin Romine was named the team's recipient of the HeartHustle Award, and the timing couldn't have been more ironic.The team announced the news Tuesday:New York Yankees YankeesCongrats to Yankees #HeartandHustle award winner Brandon Phillips Jersey , Austin Romine! mn81fVulSOThat comes on the morning after New York lost to the Tampa Bay Rays 7-6, which ended with the tying run being negated because starting catcher Gary Sanchez failed to run out a grounder:Sanchez admitted after the game that he should have given 100 percent on the play:And that's not even mentioning the way he allowed a runner to score from second on a passed ball:Jon Heyman of Fancred later reported that it is believed Sanchez reaggravated his groin injury on the passed ball and willbe placed on the disabled list.With the loss and the Boston Red Sox's 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees (63-35) are now six games back in the American League East. They do, however, hold a 6.5-game edge in the wild-card race.It was just the latest hiccup for Sanchez in what has been a rough season for the 22-year-old. Just one year removed from an All-Star selection Luis Valbuena Jersey , he is hitting .188 with 14 home runs, 14 doubles and 42 RBI in 66 appearances. For comparison, he hit .278 with 33 home runs and 20 doubles in 2017.Sanchez also ranks sixth among AL catchers with four errors.Meanwhile, Romine is trending in the opposite direction. While he owns a .229 career average, the 22-year-old backup is hitting .270/.331/.484 with six home runs http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-chris-young-jersey , nine doubles and 26 RBI in 41 games.Sanchez's power is good enough for New York skipper Aaron Boone to put up with the low batting average, the defensive miscues and lapses like the one in Monday night's contest. However, Yankees fans couldn't help but notice how poor the timing of Romine's award was:Adam ATB_1990Yankees How did Sanchez not get this award???馃FakeFan Downtown davidtabrownYankees Worst timing ever...Justin Diamond justinddiamondYankees Sanchez SNUBBEDLuke Owens LukeTheKid3Yankees Take notes GaryBlake Crocitto BCTWENTY3Yankees Could not have asked for better timing #HeartandHustle Congrats Austin RomineAs much as fans may want it to be, this was no shade thrown by the Yankees.Otherteamsaround the league also announced their recipients Tuesday.
