More than 400 Los Angeles Dodgers favorites to repeat as World Series champions

Oddsmakers believe the World Series champions are the team to beat next year.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the betting favorites to win the 2025 World Series. The Dodgers are at +400 on ESPN BET, ahead of the New York Yankees at +700 and the Atlanta Braves at +750.

The Philadelphia Phillies (+1000), Baltimore Orioles (+1200), Houston Astros (+1200), New York Mets (+1200) and San Diego Padres (+1500) make up the second group of contenders in the 2025 World Series by ESPN BET odds .

The Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies are the biggest underdogs at 400-1 each.

The Dodgers rallied from a five-run deficit to beat the Yankees in Game 5 on Wednesday and clinch their second World Series in the last five seasons. After trailing 5-0 in the fifth inning, the Dodgers' odds increased to 15-1 in the game on ESPN BET. But they took advantage of critical defensive errors by the Yankees and secured a 7-6 win.

The Dodgers began and ended the regular season as World Series favorites at sports betting. They became the first preseason betting favorite to win the World Series since the Chicago Cubs in 2016. The Dodgers entered the season as World Series favorites in three of the last four years.

Yankees slugger Juan Soto, Orioles star Corbin Burnes and Astros third baseman Alex Bregman are among the high-profile free agents who could impact World Series ratings this offseason. But for now, the Dodgers remain the team to beat in the eyes of oddsmakers.
