Dodgers Seek Repeat Championship in the 2025 World Series
Los Angeles Dodgers, after a regular season full of expectations, reach the 2025 World Series as the big favorites to conquer their second consecutive championship. According to the bookmakers, the Dodgers started the season with the highest probability of winning the title in more than two decades. Now, they face the Toronto Blue Jays with a clear advantage. The Dodgers opened as favorites with a -210 odds to win the World Series, while the Blue Jays started with +175. The difference in the series was set at Dodgers -1.5 (-115) against Blue Jays +1.5 (-105). The Blue Jays secured their spot in the World Series after defeating the Seattle Mariners in the seventh game of the American League Championship Series. If the Dodgers win, they will repeat as favorites from start to finish for the second consecutive season. This would make them the first team to achieve this since the New York Yankees in 1999 and 2000.Despite some difficult moments during the season, the Dodgers had the support of the betting public. About a third of the World Series bets backed Los Angeles. In addition, the Dodgers have received 44.4% of the total wagered since the start of the postseason.
Toronto, initially considered a team with little chance, attracted the attention of bettors after a remarkable final stretch that led them to be the best seed in the American League. However, they only accumulated 7.7% of the total bets. The first World Series game will be played on Friday at the Rogers Centre. The Blue Jays, as the home team, open with +125 on the money line, while the Dodgers are favored as visitors with -150.
