2026 MLB League Winner Odds

Becoming a World Series champion is the goal for all MLB teams, but winning a pennant is nothing to brush off. Before teams can fight for a World Series ring, they must first win their league's pennant, a feat that adds to the bragging rights for fans debating which franchise is historically superior. In 2025, the LA Dodgers won the NL for the second consecutive year before successfully defending their World Series title. Meanwhile, in the AL, the Toronto Blue Jays won the league for the first time since 1993.

Quickly after the conclusion of the World Series, the LA Dodgers opened as the favorites to win the NL for a third straight season, while the Yankees opened as the favorites in the AL. With the odds for the 2026 season already released across all the top sportsbooks in Arizona, we will keep baseball bettors up to date on this market from now until the next postseason.
