Midway through the MLB season, the Los Angeles Dodgers remain the favorites to win the World Series. The Dodgers opened at +550, moved to +450 after signing Shohei Ohtani in the offseason and now sit at 3-1 at ESPN BET.
Despite a recent slump, the New York Yankees boast the second-best odds, tied with the surging Philadelphia Phillies, at 5-1. The Baltimore Orioles, who are in a tight race in the AL East, are at 7-1, followed by the Atlanta Braves at 9-1. The Braves opened the season as the second-favorite but have since lost Ronald Acuna Jr. for the season.
The defending champion Texas Rangers have had a sluggish start and have seen their odds dip to 60-1 after opening the season at 10-1.
