2025 MLB World Series Betting Online
They say that money cannot buy happiness, but it can sure purchase a serious shot at the World Series. The Top Six teams with the highest payrolls are the New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Chicago Cubs. All six of those teams are in the hunt for the 2025 Fall Classic. Of course, there are a few clubs that mimic the Little Engine That Could. The Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers are among the teams with the lowest payrolls, yet they are serious contenders. Still, the larger the payroll, the better the chances for success.
A notable example of the impact of payroll is the San Diego Padres. Once upon a time, the Padres operated on a shoestring budget with the results that reflected those penny-pinching ways. Since 2020, the Padres have finally decided to take their game to the next level by acquiring and retaining top talent. San Diego is poised to make the 2025 playoffs for the second consecutive season and for the fourth time in six years. The tenth-highest payroll in the game is keeping San Diego in the hunt.

Last year, the Chicago Cubs were a hot ticket in the future market with the arrival of Craig Counsell as manager. However, the Cubs proved to be an overvalued fraud in 2024, much to the dismay of numerous gamblers. However, the Cubs are finally becoming the team that everyone expected them to be last season. Chicago is showing a nice profit and is sparked by one of the top offenses in baseball. Additionally, the Cubs have one of the best bullpens in the game.
The St. Louis Cardinals are a proud legacy franchise emerging from a brief period of darkness. The Redbirds missed the playoffs in the past two seasons but stuck with manager Oliver Marmol, who has guided them into the thick of the wild card race.
One of the biggest surprises so far in 2025, for all the wrong reasons, is the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta is in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017. The Braves are one of the most popular brands among the casual sector and a perennial favorite in the future market. But an alarming lack of run production and power, with some injury issues, could doom the Braves.

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.

Betting Rules & Policies
Free Play Rules
- Free plays cannot be used on proposition bets.
- Free Plays do not earn any BetPoints™
- Bets made using Free Plays do not count towards completing any rollovers. (Free Plays are always subject to a rollover of their own. You must complete the required rollover prior to making a withdrawal).
- The maximum payout for any Free Play is $5,000.
- Free Plays that are left unused for 180 days will be removed from your account.
ROLLOVER
- Did you know that on all deposits made at BookMaker, there is a rollover requirement: an amount of betting action you must fulfill before you are eligible to make a withdrawal.
- Did you know that rollovers are calculated by multiplying the amount initially credited to your account a certain number of times? Yes! If you deposit without claiming any bonus, the rollover will always be 1x (one-time) your deposit amount. If you do claim a deposit bonus, the rollover will be higher and is based on the deposit plus bonus amount.
Wager disputes (claims)
If you disagree with any aspect of a wager you’ve placed, you are welcome to log an official dispute (commonly known as a “claim”). Claims must be reported no later than 15 (fifteen) calendar days following the settlement of the wager.
If following an initial review of the case there remains any doubt regarding the wager type, line, market, amount, or any other detail, the claim will be escalated to the BookMaker management team. All decisions made by them are final.
Wager Cash Out - How it works
With the Cash Out feature you can choose to eliminate a wager that's already been placed, and receive back either a portion, or your full stake amount.
Cash Out is selectively available on certain events, fixtures, and markets.
In order to see if a wager is eligible to be cashed out, simply navigate to your Bet Slip and check the 'My Open Bets' tab. If eligible, the Cash Out button will be displayed.
It’s also important to note that Cash Out is not contributing to any bonus or promotion including Bet Point accumulation and Rollover for releasing bonus cash.
