2025 World Series odds: Dodgers favored; Rangers, Astros, Red Sox crater
The countdown to the 2025 MLB Fall Classic has officially begun, as the new season is in full swing.
The Dodgers blew past the Yankees in the 2024 World Series, winning 4-1 to earn their second title in the past five years.
Will L.A. make it three in six years? Or, will the Mets — whom the Dodgers defeated in the 2024 NLCS — make a run after the addition of Juan Soto?
Let’s take a look at the odds to win the Fall Classic at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 9.

As always, a few contenders have turned into pretenders.
Dating back to the beginning of May, a few teams have seen their odds lengthen dramatically, including the Braves, who were at +1500 at the top of May (seventh on the oddsboard) and are now at +4500 (15th).
Texas also took a huge dip, moving from +1700 at the top of May to +7500 on June 9, and the Red Sox moved from +2000 to +5500 over the same time span.
Despite going 5-5 in their last 10 games, and holding just a one-game lead in the NL West as of June 9, the defending champion Dodgers are still atop the oddsboard.
Still, going back-to-back in professional baseball has proven difficult in the history of the sport, meaning, although the Dodgers are favored to repeat, it will by no means be easy.
The last time a team won consecutive World Series, the Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000. Prior to that, the Blue Jays repeated in 1993 after winning it all in 1992.
Arguably the most unique occurrence of consecutive titles happened between 1972 and 1978. The Athletics won three straight titles from 1972-1974, followed by the Reds going back-to-back in 1975 and 1976, before the Yankees won in 1977 and 1978.
