As we begin the September stretch drive, 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. The NL East leading Philadelphia Phillies sit at 5-1 (behind only the Dodgers) despite being under.500 since the start of July.
The New York Yankees boast the best odds in the American League, also at 5-1, to win the World Series and +225 to claim the pennant. The Baltimore Orioles, who trail the Yankees in the AL East by just 1.5 games, are +700.
