New York Mets 2024 World Series Odds
As was the case last year, the Mets have been a disappointment, although not on the same level as 2023. Last year, the Mets were touted as World Series material with a massive investment in payroll. Within a month, the Mets were out and gamblers suffered losses that they never recovered from. This year, the Mets are in the thick of the National League wild card race and are showing a tiny profit at the All-Star break. Now the question is if the Mets can sustain their success for the dog days of summer and the wild card playoff race.

In the 2023 MLB future market, no team produced a hotter ticket than the New York Mets. The Mets blew apart their budget to overtake the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees for the highest payroll in the game. However, by the end of the first month of the 2023 season, it was quite clear that the Mets were a dead-end club. New York will go down as one of the biggest future market frauds in baseball betting history. This year, the Mets have the second-highest payroll in MLB.
Last season, it was no surprise that an over-hyped team that fell far short of expectations was one of the biggest money losers on the board. Gamblers were obliterated for backing the Mets in 2023. Unforgiving gamblers are not shopping them much in the 2024 future market. Contrarian gamblers wonder if this is the time to swoop in for the discount price.
The Mets made good on their promise to stay active all winter without shopping in the most expensive aisles. After their pursuit of Yoshinobu Yamamoto fell short, the team went bargain-hunting for pitchers on short-term deals. They also made modest additions to their lineup and bench in the hopes of competing for a Wild Card spot.
Gamblers ask if the Mets did enough. Their bullpen seems strong, but the Mets are relying on several starting pitchers with long injury histories, as well as essentially the same lineup that finished 20th in the Majors in runs per game last season. There are no guarantees that this mini-overhaul will work.
