World Series MVP Odds & Favorites 2025: Will Someone Be Able to Top Freeman's Performance?
Freddie Freeman put together a historic performance for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, running away with the series MVP award as a result. Ahead of the decisive Game 5, he was priced at -1000, and he came through in the clutch to lock up the honor.
As we look ahead to the 2025 World Series odds, we wonder whether we'll see another run like Freeman's even in the next five years, let alone next season.
Corey Seager had a masterful 2023 World Series when he won the award. He slashed .286/.375/.762 with three home runs and five strikeouts in five games. Comparatively, Freeman slashed a ridiculous .300/.364/1.000 with four home runs (in four straight games to start the series) and only one punchout. It was just a different level of greatness.
Our best MLB betting sites haven't yet posted odds for next year's World Series MVP, but with the Dodgers serving as the favorites to go back-to-back, we can certainly speculate on what any number of their superstar players could be trading at in October 2025.

World Series MVP winner 2024
Freddie Freeman (-1000)
As previously mentioned, Freeman entered Game 5 with -1000 odds at BetMGM after hitting a home run in each of the first four games.
At that point, it was a foregone conclusion as to who'd win the award, as Freeman may have become only the second player ever (the other one being Bobby Richardson in 1960) to win World Series MVP on the losing team had the Yankees miraculously come back while he still at least somewhat produced.
All things considered, Freeman's performance, on the bad ankle, after everything he went through personally this season, is unlikely to be matched for a long time.
