Baseball World Series Odds

The World Series is the annual final Championship in Major League Baseball. The competition was first played in 1903 and is traditionally held in October or November. The format sees the Champions of the American League and the National League face-off to determine who the best team of the season has been. Determined in a best-of-seven series, the winning team truly has to earn the Commissioner's trophy at the end of the season.

As it stands, it is the American League winners that have had the edge over the National League winners with the AL team winning 68 out of the 119 matches between the champions.

Outright Betting on the MLB World Series

At the start of the season, there are plenty of World Series betting odds and markets available for bettors to browse and place bets on during the season.

The main market that bettors look at is the World Series Winner betting market, this is where bettors look into both the American League and the National League to find a winner for the overall World Series.

The biggest event in Baseball is the World Series, last seasons winners were the Texas Rangers.

World Series: Winning Division Betting Odds

If you're looking to bet on the World Series outright but are torn between two teams in the same division, the winning division is a fantastic betting market to bet on.

For example, if you're looking at our online sportsbook options and considering the Texas Rangers for the title but think the Seattle Mariners could beat them to the latter stages, you can back the winner to come from the MLB American League West.

World Series: Finalist Odds

At the start of the campaign, one of the main things you can bet on is the exact final. These will typically come as bigger odds than the winning team as you're betting on two teams rather than one. So, if a team struggles during the MLB Regular season, you'll find World Series odds are constantly impacted. So for example, if the Toronto Blue Jays had a fantastic start to the season, their odds to win the world series would drop but many would bet on the potential of them making the final and falling short against a more consistent team.

World Series Futures Odds

One of the outside bets that players can place are MLB futures bets, which are where you can bet on players to win the Young Player award. This is an award given to the best players from when the regular season begins all the way through to the World Series. You'll often find some young names from the World Series contenders are mentioned here but some names to watch from lower ranked teams will also feature in the MLB futures market.

If you've got your eye on the next big thing in Baseball from your favourite MLB teams, you'll be able to bet on them before the MLB season to achieve the award.
