The Latest World Series Odds – March 10

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the favorite in the latest listing of the 2024 World Series odds. The Dodgers are given +250 odds to win it all this year. It comes as no surprise since LA inked the biggest free agent of the offseason – Shohei Ohtani – to a 10-year contract. Ohtani, last year’s AL MVP, will bolster a lineup that was already full of stars. 

Unfortunately for the Dodgers, Ohtani will not pitch in 2024. He had surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow. Ohtani will continue to rehab that injury but will be available to serve as the Dodgers DH. Ohtani, combined with the likes of Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Max Muncy, is why the Dodgers are at the top of this season’s World Series odds. Can they win it all?

Dodgers World Series Odds

When the 2023 World Series odds were released in November 2022 shortly after the World Series, the Dodgers were installed as a +500 favorite. In late February last year, the Dodgers were among the favorites to win last year’s World Series. 

Los Angeles would finish last season as the NL West champion with a 100-62 record. The Dodgers earned the No. 2 seed in the MLB playoffs and were among the World Series odds favorites. The Dodgers would lose their divisional round series in three straight games to NL West rival Arizona. The Diamondbacks, of course, would advance to the World Series. 

With the addition of Ohtani and former Japan Pacific League three-time MVP pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers top this year’s list of World Series odds. Already though, the Boys in Blue have suffered some adversity. 

Second baseman Gavin Lux was shifted to shortstop last season but tore an ACL during spring training and missed the entire 2023 season. Lux has had trouble at shortstop, so the Dodgers moved him back to second base and will play Betts at short.

2024 World Series Odds – The Contenders

The 2024 World Series odds put the Dodgers on top, as we have noted. There are the other usual suspects among the top contenders. Last year, the Braves were among the favorites and in 2024 they are back again near the top of the World Series odds.

Atlanta, which finished with an MLB-best record of 104-58, is given +450 World Series odds this year. That puts the Braves right behind the Dodgers, which is no surprise. Atlanta has, arguably, the best pitching staff in baseball. They acquired LHP Chris Sale in the offseason. He’ll be No. 3 in the rotation behind Max Freid and Spencer Strider. Charlie Morton and Bryce Elder round out the Braves rotation, which is one reason Atlanta is given such favorable World Series odds. 

The Astros (+750), Yankees (+850), and Orioles (+950) are all among the favorites in the most recent World Series odds. Reigning World Series champion Texas is given +1150 odds to repeat.

Yesterday, the Tar Heels had to travel to Cameron Indoor Stadium and face the ninth-ranked Blue Devils.
