Updated Nov. 1, 2023 9:44 a.m. ET

The Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers are competing in an unlikely World Series matchup.

How unlikely?

BetMGM data analyst John Ewing said the preseason odds of a Diamondbacks-Rangers World Series were +175000 (bet $10 to win $17,510 total).

Yes, you read those odds right.

As for the World Series betting market, the Rangers are huge favorites to win the title at -1300 after winning Game 4. Texas opened as the favorite to win the title at -170. They were at -142 after splitting the first two games in Texas and -330 after winning Game 3.

The Diamondbacks' title odds sit at +900. Arizona opened at +140, lengthened to +250 after the Game 1 loss, then improved to +115 after winning Game 2. Their odds dropped to +265 heading into Game 4.

The Rangers won the American League Championship Series over the Astros in seven games, while the Diamondbacks earned their spot in the Fall Classic by beating the Phillies in seven.

Arizona has been a huge surprise this season, as the Diamondbacks were at +12500 to win the title at the start of the season. They were at +6000 as recently as Aug. 19. Can they make another surprise run and comeback?
