2024 World Series odds: Dodgers favored; Astros, Yankees move up

<!–>

MLB’s Opening Day is here and with that, odds are on the move for 2024 World Series futures.

The Los Angeles Dodgers — who signed free agent Shohei Ohtani to the largest contract in North American sports history and resigned left-hander Clayton Kershaw — remain the favorites at +320 at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Los Angeles had a busy offseason. In addition to signing Ohtani, it traded for right-hander Tyler Glasnow and signed Japanese ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

The Dodgers had already kicked off their season, splitting their opening games against the San Diego Padres in the MLB’s Seoul Series.

* odds as of 3/28/2024

Will the Atlanta Braves win Over/Under 101.5 games this season?

Taking a look at the recent past, an early long-shot wager can pay off nicely when it comes to MLB title futures — the eventual champion Rangers were +4500 entering last season.

The Diamondbacks, which fell three wins short of the title, were +12500 entering last season.

Including the Rangers, six of the past seven champions have had preseason odds of +1000 or longer (the 2020 Dodgers at +385 are the exception).

Preseason long-shot bettors had their golden era from 2010-15 when six teams with +2000 odds or longer hoisted the trophy.

2015: Royals (+3300)
2014: Giants (+2500)
2013: Red Sox (+2800)
2012: Giants (+2000)
2011: Cardinals (+2500)
2010: Giants (+2500)

The teams with the shortest preseason odds to win it all since 1985 were the Yankees in 1999 (+200) and 2000 (+250).

The longest shots to win the Fall Classic since 1985 were the 1991 Twins (+8000), 2003 Marlins (+7500), 1987 Twins (+5000) and 2002 Angels (+4000).
