Gamers or Hall of Famers? The odds are leaning toward the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Milwaukee Brewers in early lines set by sportsbooks for the 2027 World Series favorites.
The futures betting markets have established the high-dollar Dodgers as the team to beat next season.
With the risk of a labor stoppage looming, the Dodgers do have roster matters to wrangle. But with a seemingly infinite payroll and the use of deferred payments, can anyone compete with Los Angeles?
FanDuel placed the opening 2027 World Series futures odds at Dodgers +360, Brewers +600, Yankees +750 and reigning American League champion Tampa Bay at +1800.
DraftKings is even more bullish on the Dodgers (+310) over the field. Milwaukee (+500) and the Yankees (+700) are next with the Red Sox (+1100), Mariners (+1800) and Phillies (+1800) on the second tier.
Of course, when the Dodgers recorded the final out in the 2025 World Series, sportsbooks picked them to return. FanDuel and BetMGM had the Dodgers at +350 to win the 2026 World Series. The Yankees were second at both sportsbooks -- +700 at FanDuel and +750 at BetMGM -- and Philadelphia was third.
For the second consecutive season, the Colorado Rockies have the longest odds to win it all as the World Series ended. Each of the past two years they were at +50000 at the end of October to win the next World Series.
Could there be hope in the Rockies?
Perhaps, as the Chicago White Sox were even with Colorado at the end of the 2025 World Series at +50000 and reached the American League Division Series before losing a deciding Game 5 to Cleveland.
