The Los Angeles Dodgers opened the 2024 season as favorites to win the World Series and, after defeating the New York Yankees in five games, they indeed celebrated with champagne come October.
According to ESPN BET, the Dodgers are still looking very likely to win the World Series again in 2025, opening as +400 favorites to repeat and currently sitting at +240 as the MLB season's second half has gotten into full swing.
A recent slump has helped see the Detroit Tigers drop to +750 odds, ending their brief reign as the AL team to beat. That honor now returns to the Yankees (+700), despite sitting in second place in the AL East.
The Philadelphia Phillies check in at +850, while the Chicago Cubs (+900) round out the sides with better than 10-1 odds.
