2025 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 complete the pennant in their respective league, which is another bragging point for fans arguing which franchise is historically better. In 2024, two powerhouse franchises returned to the top as the Yankees and Dodgers broke through to the World Series.

Both teams have opened as the favorites to win their respective league in 2025, and below, we’ll look at the updated odds for each team to win the AL or NL across all the top sportsbooks in Arizona.

2025 AL Winner Odds

*odds as of December 9, 2024

Current Favorites

New York Yankees: Strong fundamentals were not something the Yankees had all season, and while they would reach the World Series for the first time since 2009, those fundamental mistakes would be their downfall. As New York still looks for their return to glory, many things need to go right for them this offseason. However, the first big thing they needed to go their way did not, as Juan Soto decided to head across town to sign with the Mets. The Yankees' Plan B following the Soto news will be one of the more interesting things to follow this offseason and could obviously have significant implications on this market.

Baltimore Orioles: The young Orioles took another step forward during the regular season, but their postseason struggles continued as the Royals swept them at home. Baltimore is in a good spot moving forward in regards to their lineup, but it will be their pitching staff that will need a boost this offseason. Corbin Burnes could leave through free agency, which would force Baltimore to spend big this offseason.

Houston Astros: For the first time in a long time baseball fans did not see the Astros in the ALCS. Houston will return next season with Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker leading their lineup, but there are a lot of questions about whether Alex Bregman will be returning. After missing the ALCS, Houston will likely be very active this offseason, as they try to keep their window open.

2025 NL Winner Odds

Current Favorites

Los Angeles Dodgers: The reigning World Series champions will be returning a ton of crucial pieces for the 2025 season, and to make things even better, they will likely have Shohei Ohtani joining their rotation after he put up an MVP season at DH. LA is always one of the biggest spenders in the offseason, and this year started no different, as the Dodgers have already signed Blake Snell and Michael Conforto while remaining in the mix for plenty of free agents, including Roki Sasaki.

New York Mets: The Mets surprised everyone last season by reaching the NLCS, and they have since surprised everyone again by outbidding the Yankees for Juan Soto. With Soto in the mix, the Mets have one of the better lineups in baseball, and while that will undoubtedly put them on a good path for another NLCS appearance, the question of the Mets pitching staff now comes to the forefront.

Atlanta Braves: Injuries derailed the Atlanta Braves 2024 season, and while Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuna won't be ready for the start of the 2025 season, they are expected to return at some point. Atlanta still has a ton of talent on their roster, and with a bunch of young arms ready to join the rotation, the Braves should have no problem getting back to the top of the NL throughout the season.
