Los Angeles Dodgers listed as 5-1 World Series favorite, while New York Mets (14-1) driving wagering
Oddsmakers believe the Los Angeles Dodgers are in a class by themselves entering the Major League Baseball season.
The Dodgers, at 5-1 at Caesars Sportsbook, are the clear-cut favorites to win the World Series, with an implied probability of nearly double any other team. The Toronto Blue Jays, at 9-1, are the only other team with World Series odds better than 10-1.
The Dodgers, however, aren’t the most popular bet on the board at Caesars. More bets have been placed — and more money wagered — on the New York Mets to win the World Series than any other team. The Mets are 14-1 to win the World Series.
