Yankees and Mets Lead 2024 World Series Odds

As the MLB regular season draws to a close, anticipation for the 2024 World Series intensifies, with the New York Yankees emerging as the current favorites according to betting odds. As of October 11, DraftKings Sportsbook has positioned the Yankees as the frontrunner following their successful qualification for the American League Championship Series (ALCS) by securing a Game 4 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

The Yankees, affectionately known as the “Bronx Bombers,” are listed with the shortest odds at +170, indicating a strong belief in their potential to clinch the Fall Classic. Those betting $10 could win a total of $27 should the Yankees emerge victorious.

Joining the Yankees at the top of the odds board are their crosstown rivals, the New York Mets, who are generating significant attention. The Mets recently advanced to the National League Championship Series (NLCS) after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1. This victory has bolstered their odds, now standing at +370, following an initial rate of +500 earlier in the week.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, another formidable contender, have seen their odds shift favorably from +500 to +340 after overcoming the Padres in their Game 4 matchup. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres‘ odds have moved to +550, reflecting their recent Game 4 loss to the Dodgers.

Other teams in the World Series race include clubs with odds of +340, +850, and +1100, offering potential payouts ranging from $44 to $120 for a $10 bet, respectively.

This year’s postseason is set to be fiercely competitive, with multiple teams vying for the esteemed title. Baseball enthusiasts and bettors alike are keenly observing the developments as the odds continue to fluctuate with each playoff outcome.
