TL;DR - Scouting Report
Despite Juan Soto's historic deal with the Mets, the Dodgers remain 2025 World Series favorites at +380. LA’s strategic signings keep them on top despite MLB odds shifting.
Start the Rally: Tweet This Now!A player like Juan Soto can drastically impact a team’s odds of winning the World Series; much the same way that Shohei Ohtani not only impacted the Dodgers’ odds of winning in 2024, but actually helping the team to win it all.
Soto has reportedly signed a 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets, spurning 2025 World Series favorites, the Dodgers and Yankees, and impacting all betting odds along the way.
If odds are your thing, Dodger fans need not worry – the Dodgers are still the favorites to repeat as World Champions in 2025 at +380 according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
The Mets aren’t even the team with the second-best odds, either, or the favorites to win their division.
National League Favorites to Win World Series | American League Favorites to Win World Series |
Dodgers +380 | Yankees +950 |
Braves +750 | Orioles +1100 |
Mets +850 | Astros +1300 |
Phillies +1000 | Rangers +2800 |
Padres +1500 | Mariners +2800 |
It looks like the NL East is projected to be very close to call, according to the odds, with the Padres sitting a far cry away from the NL contenders.
It’s worth noting that the three NL East teams are above the second-best American League team. Could 2025 be a cakewalk for the NL representative in the World Series?
The Dodgers have done their part to ensure they remain baseball’s favorites to repeat as World Champions, signing Blake Snell to anchor the pitching rotation, solidifying their outfield depth by signing Michael Conforto, and re-signing Blake Treinen to ensure the bullpen remains a strength.
