Here’s an early look at the odds to take home next season’s championship:
Which team has the best 2022 World Series odds?
The Los Angeles Dodgers have the best odds to win the 2022 World Series one day into the offseason at +500, according to our partner, PointsBet.
L.A. finished with the second-best record in the majors at 106-56 but was forced into a wild card spot. Chris Taylor walked it off for the Dodgers in the NL Wild Card Game and the team got revenge over the first-place San Francisco Giants in the NLDS. The Dodgers’ season ended in the NLCS, as the eventual champion Braves won the series in six games.

Following the Dodgers sit the World Series runners-up Astros at +600.
Which teams have the worst 2022 World Series odds?
Oddsmakers are not too optimistic that the Baltimore Orioles, Pittsburgh Pirates or Texas Rangers will turn things around next season. All three clubs have +50000 odds to lift the Commissioner’s Trophy in 2022.
All three teams had over 100 losses across the 2021 campaign. The only other team to exceed 100 losses last season was the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have the next-worst World Series odds at +25000. The Chicago Cubs round out the bottom five at +10000.
What are the Braves’ odds to repeat as World Series champions in 2022?
Despite entering next season as defending champions, eight teams have higher odds than the Braves to win the 2022 Fall Classic. Atlanta has +1400 odds, tied with the Tampa Bay Rays and lower than two teams that missed the 2021 MLB postseason: the Toronto Blue Jays and San Diego Padres.
The Braves have a ton of roster decisions to make this offseason with 14 free agents, including some of the marquee stars from their World Series run. Freddie Freeman, Jorge Soler, Joc Pederson, Adam Duvall and Eddie Rosario are all among the Atlanta players who could hit the market this offseason.
What are the Philadelphia Phillies’ 2022 World Series odds?
The Phillies are in the middle of the pack with the 14th-best World Series odds in 2022. Their +2200 odds are third in the NL East behind the Braves and New York Mets.
