The New York Yankees are the favorite to win the 2009 World Series and the payout is still good all things considered. A $100 bet at Sportsbook.com would pay $160. This is one of the few books still offering odds on the 2009 World Series.

No other team is close to the Yankees in the standings and New York is a whopping 9 games ahead of the Boston Red Sox.

Derek Jeter got a standing ovation -- when he came on the field for his pregame wind sprints. He didn't give fans more to cheer about, failing to gain ground on Lou Gehrig.

Jeter went 0 for 4 and remained three hits behind the Iron Horse as the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-1 in the opener of Monday's day-night doubleheader. After a sparkling pitcher's duel between CC Sabathia and Matt Garza, Robinson Cano hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in a three-run eighth inning.

"I think everybody's excited," Sabathia said, "and wants to see him get that record."

Applauded ahead of every at-bat, Jeter stayed stuck at 2,718 hits. He did match another Yankees great -- the first game was his 2,116st, tying Yogi Berra for third on the Yankees list behind only Mickey Mantle (2,401) and Lou Gehrig (2,164).
