2024 MLB Playoff Series Prices: World Series Odds
We've got the WS odds ahead of the final series:
New York Yankees vs Los Angeles Dodgers
Clubs | Odds |
---|---|
New York Yankees | +108 |
Los Angeles Dodgers | -128 |
Odds as of Oct. 21 at BetMGM
The Yankees easily disposed of the Royals in the ALDS and pushed past the Guardians in the ALCS. At first glance, the Dodgers seem like a harder opponent than both KC and Cleveland. But, I have some serious concerns about the Dodgers' pitching. Los Angeles really only has two reliable starters in Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Jack Flaherty in the playoff rotation, and even they've had struggles this postseason. The Yankees, on the other hand, will have four starts of Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodon in this series, plus solid depth options.
As long as New York's bats can hang with the Dodgers', I think the pitching edge will bring a title back to the Bronx.
Best Bet: Yankees +108
