2024 World Series Predictions with Betting Odds and Expert Picks

We aren’t even to the All-Star Break and we have betting odds and picks to win the World Series for you. Hey, why not?
A lot has transpired in the first two months of the 2024 MLB Regular Season. We still have over 100 games left to play. However, there are at least three teams that have set themselves apart from the pack to this point.
I wish I could say my Atlanta Braves were one of them, but losing the Cy Young favorite for the season within the first couple of weeks, as well as most recently seeing the 2023 MVP, Ronald Acuna, tear his other ACL just days ago, have Braves fans forgetting about it.
Today, I want us to answer two questions. The first of which is what team of the "Big 3" has the best chance to win the World Series? The second question is if not one of those powerhouses, who has the best shot knowing what we know now?
You probably didn’t need to scroll down to see the Yankees, Phillies, and Dodgers at the top of the betting board. They have all been almost equally impressive to this point in the season.
Let’s take an early swing and hope for the heat. However, I have a feeling a curveball is coming sooner or later.
Doc’s Sports offers MLB expert picks for every game on our baseball predictions page.
World Series Betting Odds and Pick
Los Angeles Dodgers: +325
Somehow, I managed to feel almost as bad for the LA Dodgers last season as I did for my Braves. After they both dominated the regular season, we saw early playoff exits from both teams.
LA, of course, made a massive move in the offseason signing Shohei Ohtani to the largest contract in the history of sports. Even with expectations like that, the Japanese star has yet to disappoint.
He is hitting the ball as hard and far as anyone in the league. Mookie Betts continues to defy the laws of physics walking around less than 180 pounds. Then there is Freddie Freeman, the consummate professional, who is yet to slow down as a semi-old man.
Their pitching has improved, and undoubtedly the Dodgers will still be around in October.
Philadelphia Phillies: +500
Forgive the sour disdain in how I speak of the Philadelphia Phillies. They aren't sneaking up on anyone this year, though, as the team is 6.5 games ahead of Atlanta for the NL East lead, as well as 3.5 better than the previously mentioned Dodgers.
Bryce Harper and the boys lead the league in runs scored, they mirror the Yanks and Dodgers in OPS along with other stats. However, the Phils have more than double the number of stolen bases than either of the other two.
They do fall slightly short of the Yankees in ERA but have allowed far fewer homers than both LA (61) and NY (52) with only 44.
New York Yankees: +550
I love the pick here for the Yankees. This is simply because the Phillies and Dodgers will need to beat two of the “Big 3” teams, not only one.
The addition of Juan Soto has been a bigger difference-maker for the Yankees than what Ohtani has done for LA.
The Yankees pitching staff has been the best of the MLB so far. And their ace, Gerrit Cole, is now ready for a rehab assignment. He will potentially be fresher than most of the big arms for the Yanks or Phils down the stretch this Fall.
Pick: New York Yankees (+550)
Atlanta Braves: +800
Baltimore Orioles: +1000
Houston Astros: +1200
Seattle Mariners: +1800
Cleveland Guardians: +2000
Yes, the Mariners are showing more promise than we have seen in a long time. The Orioles are flying under the radar, and the Astros are almost always there, but hear me out.
The Cleveland Guardians have better odds than all three. They were last in the league in homers in 2023, and are top-ten at the moment. Only the Yankees and Phillies have scored more runs.
Add in 4th in the MLB in strikeouts, as well as top-ten in virtually every category, pitching and hitting.
Longshot Pick: Cleveland Guardians (+2000)
