Per BetMGM on Sept. 29, the odds of the Cleveland Guardians winning the American League pennant are +1000 (10:1) and the odds of the Cincinnati Reds winning the National League pennant are +1500 (15:1). This means that the odds of both events occurring for a Reds-Guardians World Series in 2025 are +17500 (175:1).

The Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds completed the playoff picture in grand style. They'll be among 12 teams seeking to win the World Series.

The 1975 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds was the third heart-render for the team, and one of the most brutal. Yeoman-like work by starting pitcher Luis Tiant led the Red Sox to wins in Games 1 and 4.

The Cincinnati Reds snapped their long drought, earning their first playoff bid in a 162-game season since 2013. However, the Seattle Mariners (two years), Boston Red Sox (three) and Chicago Cubs (four) all broke out of multi-year funks of their own.

It's Game 162 across baseball on Sunday, Sept. 28 with two division titles and the National League's final playoff berth still on the line.
