With the start of the 2025 MLB Playoffs just around the corner, the bookmakers have updated their odds for the World Series title
Although the New York Yankees have shown solid performance in September, they are not among the three teams most favored by bettors. The Philadelphia Phillies, Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Dodgers lead the projections.
Los NY Yankees hacen historia de la MLB con 9 ‘home runs’ en un partido… ¡otra vez!
Phillies the new favorites
The Philadelphia Phillies have overtaken the Dodgers as the leading candidates to win the World Series. With odds of +425, the Phillies have a 19.05% implied probability of being crowned champions. Their dominance in the National League East and the depth of their roster make them the strongest team in the betting.
Dodgers and Mariners complete the podium
The Dodgers, the defending champions, are second favorites at +500, while the Seattle Mariners are the American League favorites at +550. Both teams have been consistent performers and have experienced rosters to handle the pressure of October.
Yankees in the second group of contenders
The New York Yankees appear at +750, tied with the Milwaukee Brewers. Although they have strengthened their roster with the likes of Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt, and have Aaron Judge at MVP level, the bookmakers still see them as a team with potential, but not as the main favorite.
Other teams in the fight
The Toronto Blue Jays (+950), San Diego Padres (+1500), Chicago Cubs (+1500), Boston Red Sox (+1800) and Detroit Tigers (+1800) also feature in the list. The breadth of options reflects a season without a “superteam”, where any franchise could surprise in the playoffs.
A more open market than ever
Unlike in previous years, six teams have odds of +800 or better, indicating a more even competition. In 2021, only three teams were in that range. This year, bettors see multiple paths to the championship, and the Yankees will have to prove on the field that they can exceed expectations.

Brewers vs. Cubs NLDS schedule, prediction, odds: Division rivals meet for first time in MLB playoffs
Getty Images The Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers will begin their best-of-five Division Series on Saturday. The two NL Central foes will square off in the playoffs for the first time ever. The Cubs won the season series, 7-6, but the Brewers still won the division title by five games. In fact, they finished with the best record in baseball at 97-65. As such, the Brewers got a bye and have had nearly a week off. The Cubs dealt with a hard-fought Wild Card Series against the Padres, winning 2-1, in order to make it here. The winner of this series will face the winner of the Dodgers-Phillies series in the NLCS for the pennant. The Cubs haven't won the pennant since 2016, and that was their only one since 1945. The Brewers have never won the NL pennant (though they […]

Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images The Indianapolis Colts added wide receiver Michael Pittman to their Week 5 injury report Thursday with a hamstring issue. Pittman was a limited participant in practice on Thursday ahead of Sunday's home game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The sixth-year pro caught five passes for 41 yards and a touchdown while playing his usual heavy allotment of snaps last weekend as the Colts (3-1) fell on the road to the Los Angeles Rams. Pittman is the top target for resurgent quarterback Daniel Jones. He has a team-high 21 receptions for 234 yards (11.1 per catch) and three scores. The Colts enter […]
