Oddsmakers believe the World Series champs are the team to beat next year, too. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been installed as the betting favorites to win the 2025 World Series.
The Dodgers are +400 at ESPN BET, ahead of the New York Yankees at +700 and Atlanta Braves at +750. The Philadelphia Phillies (+1000), Baltimore Orioles (+1200), Houston Astros (+1200), New York Mets (+1200) and San Diego Padres (+1400) make up the second tier of contenders in ESPN BET's 2025 World Series odds.
The Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies are the biggest long shots, each listed at 400-1. The Dodgers rallied from a five-run deficit to beat the Yankees in Wednesday's Game 5 and clinch their second World Series in the last five seasons.
Trailing 5-0 in the fifth inning, the Dodgers' in-game odds to win got as long as 15-1 at ESPN BET. But they capitalized on critical defensive mistakes by the Yankees and held on for a 7-6 win.
