Entering the 2021 season, the Dodgers had the highest World Series odds. As the season continued, the Dodgers continued to have the highest odds.
As we enter the National League Championship Series, the Dodgers are still the team to beat according to the Draft Kings Sportsbook.
With only four teams remaining, the Dodgers are the betting favorite at +125. For those unfamiliar with betting, +125 means that if you bet $100 you’d win $125, plus your $100 back for a total of $225 if the Dodgers win it all. If you were to bet $200, you’d win $250 plus your $200 back for a total of $450. You have to use some math, but I think you get the picture.
Here are the odds for the other three teams.
Astros: +180
Braves: + 550
Red Sox: +650
The Dodgers tied a franchise record in wins and just took out the best team in baseball, so it makes sense as to why they’d be the betting favorite. The Astros are currently the favorite to win the American League, which means that the betting favorite World Series matchup would be the Dodgers and Astros.
Wouldn’t that be something.
