⚾ World Series Odds & Favorites 2026: Who Will Dethrone The Dodgers?
The two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers are the overwhelming World Series odds favorites, looking to go back-to-back-to-back after signing Kyle Tucker to a large offseason contract.
The New York Yankees (+1000) and Seattle Mariners (+1300) are the second and third favorites, respectively, and they also occupy the top two spots among AL teams. But the Dodgers are in a tier by themselves (+230) with Opening Day set for this week.

✏️ World Series bets
Here are the World Series bets the SBR team is making throughout the 2026 MLB season.
| Bet (odds) | SBR analyst | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Phillies (+1500 via FanDuel) | Dustin Saracini | March 23, 2026 |
Saracini: The Philadelphia Phillies will forever be on my radar. They are the perfect combo of talent and value almost every year, and every year they flame out early in the playoffs. Something has to give in 2026, though, right? At +1500 at FanDuel, there isn't a better bet to make right now. Armed with a top-10 pitching staff in baseball (3.73 ERA was good for ninth in MLB), the Phillies boast a top five offense across the board. I'll hop on that train one more time before Opening Day.
