Updated Betting Odds to win 2021 World Series
The MLB season is already 2.5 months old, and the 2021 World Series contenders have already started to emerge.
The 2021 MLB season is already 2.5 months old, and the World Series contenders have already started to emerge. Teams can still improve over the next few months of the season, but it’s starting to be easier to separate the contenders from the pretenders.
There is still plenty of time to get a World Series future bet in, and the odds will continue to be updated almost daily throughout the season. Here are the updated betting odds to win the 2021 World Series for the top 13 teams in the league.
The Favorites
- Los Angeles Dodgers +340
- Chicago White Sox +650
- San Diego Padres +750
- New York Mets +850
The four teams on this list are all loaded with talent, and it’s hard to see a team from outside of this group winning it all. Three of the four favorites come from the National League, while the Chicago White Sox are the clear pick in the American League.
Chicago has played nearly the entire season without two of their young stars, but that team just continues to produce. The White Sox have gotten great starting pitching, and the bullpen is dominant.
The Dodgers are the clear favorites, but they are going to have a tough time winning their own division. The Padres has the best starting rotation in baseball, and they are led by Fernando Tatis Jr. on offense.
The Mets still have some serious flaws, but having Jacob DeGrom on the roster makes them a tough out in the playoffs.
Contenders
- New York Yankees +1100
- Tampa Bay Rays +1400
- Houston Astros +1600
- Atlanta Braves +2000
- Oakland Athletics +2000
The group of contenders is interesting, and it features four teams from the American League. The New York Yankees were expected to win the AL in the preseason, but that team just continues to struggle to win games.
Tampa Bay, Houston, and Oakland have all had long winning streaks this season, but they lack a dominant starting rotation that is needed in the postseason. The Rays won the American League a season ago, and Houston has had plenty of recent postseason experience.
The toughest team in baseball to figure out this season has to be the Atlanta Braves. The starting pitching has really let this team down, but the offense has not done their part either.
Maybe a Chance?
- Boston Red Sox +2200
- Milwaukee Brewers +2200
- St. Louis Cardinals +2200
- Toronto Blue Jays +2500
If you are looking to make a real underdog pick to win the World Series, then look no further than this group of teams. Sure there are other teams in baseball that aren’t listed, but these four teams can all make a case that they can win a title.
The Red Sox and Blue Jays get it done at the plate, and those teams are not fun for opposing pitchers to deal with. Someone has to win the NL Central Division, and there is a good shot; it would either be the Brewers or Cardinals.
