2023 World Series Odds
The top-three World Series favorites are largely unchanged over the past couple of months. The Tampa Bay Rays immediately shot to/near the top of the 2023 World Series odds during their torrid start, and remain in the top-three though their play has leveled off. They continue to lead the American League. The NL-leading Atlanta Braves took over as World Series favorites right around the time they passed Tampa for best record in the majors, while perennial-contender the LA Dodgers round out the trio.
