Dodgers Favorite in 2025 World Series Betting

As the postseason unfolds, betting markets list defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers as favorites to win the 2025 World Series at +210 on DraftKings, followed by the Toronto Blue Jays (+425) and Milwaukee Brewers (+550). L.A. has advanced past Cincinnati, and Toronto leads the New York Yankees 2-0 in their divisional matchup. Toronto is also investing in the future by sending eight prospects, led by shortstop Josh Kasevich, to the Arizona Fall League as the AFL runs an expanded postseason and MLB Network showcases prospects. In the National League Division Series, the Chicago Cubs will start left-hander Shota Imanaga in Game 2; his analytics-driven approach will be tested after a mixed Wild Card outing in which he allowed a Manny Machado homer but otherwise contained San Diego. Meanwhile, the Houston Astros say shoring up starting pitching is their offseason priority amid rotation injuries and impending free-agent departures — notably Framber Valdez — over major offensive spending. Ahead of awards season, Bleacher Report ranked the year’s worst pitchers (starters with 100+ innings, relievers with 40+), highlighting several struggling Colorado hurlers such as Chivilli and Rolison.
