2024 MLB World Series Betting Lines

The Los Angeles Dodgers' only World Series championship (2020) since 1988, but their regular season dominance keeps them on top of the board as the favorites to win the 2024 World Series. The Dodgers are the top public choice to win the Fall Classic, followed by the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles, and Atlanta Braves. In the case of the Dodgers, Yankees, and Braves, they are “old money” teams that the betting public has flocked toward for decades. The Phillies and Orioles are newer contenders that sharps have used to get the maximum betting value from quality teams.

Since 2014, there has been only one franchise with two World Series championships (Houston Astros). With the expanded wild card playoff format, the days of dynasties such as the 1998-2000 New York Yankees are unlikely to be seen again. Thus, gamblers have the opportunity to increase value on quality teams. But it is undeniable that handicapping the World Series championship has never been more difficult.

2024 MLB World Series Betting Odds

*Odds as of Monday, July 22, 10:00 AM ET

After the Dodgers and Braves it is four American League teams next in World Series odds. The New York Yankees added a big bat in Juan Soto to go along with one of the best hitters in the game in Aaron Judge. If New York could get some pitching to go along with Gerrit Cole they would be a series threat to win the World Series in 2024. One team that seems to be in the mix every year is the Houston Astros and they are next in World Series betting odds. The Astros have made the World Series four times in the last seven years and won two titles. They made a big addition to their bullpen, signing Josh Hader.

The team that won the most games in the American League last season was the Baltimore Orioles and all Baltimore did was sign one of the top pitchers in the game in Corbin Burnes. The Orioles have a potent lineup that should be ever better with the addition of consensus Rookie of the Year Jackson Holliday and now they have a starting rotation led by Burnes. The Texas Rangers are the defending World Series champs but they are not getting much love in World Series odds. Texas will have to hope they are still in the race when two of their top pitchers, Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer return mid-season. The Phillies are the other team to keep an eye on in World Series odds. They lost the World Series to Houston two years ago and then were inexplicably beaten by Arizona in last year’s NLCS.

Darkhorse teams in World Series odds include the Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays, Arizona Diamondbacks, Minnesota Twins, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, Cleveland Guardians, Detroit Tigers, Miami Marlins and Milwaukee Brewers. The longshots are the Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Angels, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Nationals, Chicago White Sox, Colorado Rockies and Oakland Athletics +38633.

List of World Series Results (2000)

The New York Yankees have made the most appearances in the Fall Classic with 40; they won 27. Not surprisingly, the Bronx Bombers are the last team to repeat as World Series champions, with three consecutive crowns from 1998 through 2000.

The San Francisco Giants have made the most NL appearances with 20, but the NL team with the most Series wins is the St. Louis Cardinals with 11. The American League has won 68 of the 119 overall World Series played.

Of the original 16 franchises still around today, each has won at least two World Series titles. After the Washington Nationals won it all in 2019, the Seattle Mariners are the only franchise yet to appear in a World Series.

The San Diego Padres have made it to the Fall Classic twice but failed to bring home the Commissioner's Trophy each time.

The Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies, and Tampa Bay Rays failed to win it in their lone appearances.

The Houston Astros won their first World Series in their second appearance in 2017. And then the Astros lost their next two appearances in 2019 and 2021. But Houston showed resiliency in winning the 2022 Fall Classic for its second championship in franchise history.

The Texas Rangers won their first World Series title in 2023 taking out the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games.
