The only thing we can be sure about at this point in the 2025 MLB season is that the Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox will not make the postseason. The teams started the week with a total of 28 wins between them, which is fewer than 20 of the other 28 teams. The Rockies are on pace to have the worst record in the modern era losing 50 games before reaching double figures in victories. And while the Sox have improved slightly, they aren’t much better than the 120-loss debacle from a season ago.

With that out of the way let’s talk about some good baseball. The Los Angeles Dodgers remain the heavy favorite to repeat as World Series champions despite some lackluster play recently. They’ve lost five of nine games following Monday’s 4-3 setback to the Mets yet they still narrowly lead the NL West. No team has dealt with the amount of injuries LA has endured so far this season with their pitching staff decimated. The Dodgers are winning 60 percent of their games thanks to an offense that leads MLB in batting average, home runs and OPS, while averaging the second-most runs per game. If you’re going to back the blue you probably shouldn’t wait too long. Once they get some arms back they will be a different club.

Having won two straight and seven of their last eight games, Detroit enters the week with the best record in the majors. The Tigers are also getting some play in the futures market with their odds the shortest they’ve been all season. They are one of four clubs with shorter than 10/1 World Series odds entering the week. The American League still belongs to the Yankees, though. The Bombers rebounded from two straight losses to the Dodgers over the weekend, including an 18-2 drubbing on Saturday, to win the Sunday finale for their 10th win in 13 games. The Phillies and Mets are as close on the odds board as they are in the NL East standings. The two are pulling away from the rest of the division with New York taking over the division lead and the best record in the senior circuit with eight wins in their last nine games.

With every team around the 60-game mark we’re starting to see some separation on the odds board. The second tier of favorites has shrunk to six teams with between 13/1 and 29/1 odds. Of that group the Chicago Cubs might be the most dangerous. They haven’t lost consecutive games in nearly a month going 15-5 in their last 20. They enter the week a 4-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central. The Cubs may have found a closer in Daniel Palencia, who has five saves and a 1.74 ERA in 20.2 innings pitched.

2025 MLB World Series Odds

*Odds as of Monday, June 9, 1:00 PM ET

Chicago Cubs

Let’s take a look at the second tier of favorites with the Cubs having the shortest odds of the group. They’ve been one of the best at the plate this season averaging nearly six runs a game with the second highest batting average, third best OPS and fourth most home runs. If they can get some pitching and the offense stays dialed in they could be a factor. Daniel Palencia and Drew Pomeranz have solidified a bullpen that was shaky at the start of the season and even demoted closer Ryan Pressly has looked sharp lately.

Atlanta Braves

The Braves continue to boast short odds for a team that has never been over .500 this season. Everyone said wait until Ronald Acuna Jr. and Spender Strider return and the team will take off. Well, since Acuna Jr. made his season debut a few weeks ago the Braves are just 3-6 scoring three runs or less in five of those games. Some of the regulars haven’t played to their ability but there’s still time.

Seattle Mariners

If Cal Raleigh continues to perform the way he has he could jump into the MVP conversation at the same time lifting the M’s to the postseason. Last year Raleigh crushed 34 homers in 546 at-bats and he’s nearing that number already with a MLB high tying 23 dingers. He’s helped revamp an offense that struggled mightily last year putting the M’s atop the AL West. Besides Detroit and New York the rest of the AL is tightly packed giving the club hope of making the postseason for just the second time in the last 24 years.

Houston Astros

A lot of the names have changed and they aren’t as dominant as in years past, but the Astros can’t be overlooked. An influx of young talent has started to emerge with Hunter Brown having a tremendous season so far on the hill. Brown leads MLB with eight wins and his 1.83 ERA is fifth-best. Houston needs another solid starter to complement Brown and Framber Valdez with Lance McCullers given a chance. He’s struggled, though, with an ERA over 5.00 in his first five starts.

San Diego Padres

The rotation was patched together with Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove on the IL since before the season started. Michael King joined them last week yet the Padres have continued to win games. Following a six-game skid the Pads won seven of their next 10 with guys like Stephen Kolek and Randy Vasquez supplying strong outings. And the bullpen has been solid for the most part boasting the fifth lowest ERA in the majors.
