World Series Favorites

The favorites to win the 2023 World Series look markedly similar to the opening odds for last year’s Fall Classic.

Los Angeles Dodgers

After a phenomenal 111-win regular season last year, the Dodgers disappointingly bowed out to the San Diego Padres in the NLDS. That hasn’t stopped the NL West powers from opening as 2023 World Series favorites, though. They are +500 at most books.

Houston Astros

Love them or (more likely) hate them, there’s no denying that the Astros have built a dynasty. After capturing their third World Series title in the last five years last season, the Astros are right behind the Dodgers in the opening 2023 World Series odds.

New York Yankees

The Yankees started last season like a torpedo, racing out to an AL East lead they would never relinquish. But the back half left a lot to be desired and they wound up getting swept by the Astros in the ALCS, another disappointing end for a star-studded roster. They sit around +900 at most sportsbooks in the opening 2023 World Series odds.
