The 2027 World Series board opens with the Dodgers where they almost always seem to live: at the top. DraftKings lists Los Angeles as the favorite at +310 as of Oct. 29, a familiar position for a team that just became the first repeat champion in MLB since the 1998-2000 Yankees by winning titles in 2024 and 2025.
Right behind them are the Brewers at +500 after they finished off the 2026 season in style, capturing their first-ever World Series title with a 4-1 series win over the Tampa Bay Rays. That puts Milwaukee in the conversation immediately, even with the usual questions that come after a championship run.
The bigger issue for everyone else is whether the Brewers can do it again. Given how this organization has operated, it would be risky to count them out.
The Yankees sit third at +700, followed by the Red Sox at +1100. After that, the odds spread out quickly, with the Mariners and Phillies both at +1800. The Rays and Mets are next at +2200, while the Padres, Guardians, Cubs and Braves are all bunched together at +2500.
The rest of the board stretches from the Pirates and White Sox at +3000 to the Rangers and Tigers at +3500. The Blue Jays, Marlins and Astros are each at +4000, with the Twins and Orioles at +5000. The Diamondbacks come in at +6500, the Nationals at +7500, and the Cardinals and Royals at +9000.
At the bottom, the Athletics are listed at +10000, the Reds at +15000, the Giants and Angels at +20000, and the Rockies as the longest shot on the board at +50000.
And yes, there will be a 2027 season. A new collective bargaining agreement is coming this offseason, and even if the setup changes, baseball is still on the way. These odds are not forecasts so much as a reflection of where the betting public is likely to put its money, which is why the usual big-market pull shows up again at the top.

Dodgers Could Be Lurking For Baseballs Next Huge Trade Prize
Junior Caminero has spent the season looking every bit like the kind of young power bat that changes a lineup, and the 23-year-old Rays third baseman has only raised his profile with a strong showing in the 2026 World Series after launching 42 home runs in the regular season. For a Tampa Bay club that has long had to weigh talent against payroll reality, that kind of production puts Caminero squarely in the center of a future decision the Rays may not want to face.
Jorge Castillo reported that Caminero is aiming for a record-setting contract in the neighborhood of the deals signed by Juan Soto or Vladimir Guerrero Jr., a price tag Tampa Bay may not be able to match. If that path eventually opens the door to a trade, the Dodgers would make plenty of sense as a contender with the financial muscle, a deep farm system and the roster flexibility to chase another star-caliber addition.

Dodgers Just Added A Wild Baseball Show Fans Will Circle Now
Dodger Stadium is getting a very different kind of baseball show in April 2027, when the Savannah Bananas and their Banana Ball World Tour come to Los Angeles. The announcement adds another layer to a ballpark that has hosted just about everything over the years, but this one is built around the Banana Ball style that has turned the Bananas into one of the sports most talked-about attractions.
The event will use a lottery system for ticket access, which figures to make the chase almost as notable as the show itself. More details on game times and other event information are still to come, but for Dodgers fans, the date is already one to mark down because this is not the usual night at the ballpark. [Read more 🡒]
Dodgers Face One Crucial Free Agency Call After Costly Misses
Tarik Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner set to hit free agency, still sees the Dodgers as a franchise built to stay at the top even after their sweep in the National League Championship Series. That kind of external belief matters for a team that just watched its season end earlier than expected, especially with the front office already weighing how to retool around a roster that came up short when it counted most.
Brandon Gomes has already acknowledged the uneven regular-season returns from Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz, even as both players made meaningful postseason contributions, which only adds to the sense that Los Angeles has decisions to sort through on the margins as much as the stars. One of those calls centers on left-handed reliever Alex Vesia, who is also headed for free agency and could draw interest elsewhere even if the Dodgers try to keep him on a team-friendly deal.
