2023 World Series Odds
The top-three World Series favorites are largely unchanged over the past couple of months. The Tampa Bay Rays immediately shot to/near the top of the 2023 World Series odds during their torrid start, and remain in the top-three though their play has leveled off. They continue to lead the American League. The NL-leading Atlanta Braves took over as World Series favorites right around the time they passed Tampa for best record in the majors, while perennial-contender the LA Dodgers round out the trio.

World Series Favorites
The favorites to win the 2023 World Series look markedly similar to the opening odds for last year’s Fall Classic.
Los Angeles Dodgers
After a phenomenal 111-win regular season last year, the Dodgers disappointingly bowed out to the San Diego Padres in the NLDS. That hasn’t stopped the NL West powers from opening as 2023 World Series favorites, though. They are +500 at most books.
Houston Astros
Love them or (more likely) hate them, there’s no denying that the Astros have built a dynasty. After capturing their third World Series title in the last five years last season, the Astros are right behind the Dodgers in the opening 2023 World Series odds.
New York Yankees
The Yankees started last season like a torpedo, racing out to an AL East lead they would never relinquish. But the back half left a lot to be desired and they wound up getting swept by the Astros in the ALCS, another disappointing end for a star-studded roster. They sit around +900 at most sportsbooks in the opening 2023 World Series odds.
