LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers are heavy favorites to win their second straight World Series title as they prepare to face the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 Fall Classic.
Before the season began, the odds of a Dodgers–Blue Jays World Series stood at 64-1, but the two clubs have defied expectations to set up a showdown between one of baseball’s richest dynasties and a franchise chasing its first championship since 1993.
According to BetOnline.ag, Los Angeles opens as a -210 favorite, giving the Dodgers a 67.7% chance to win the best-of-seven series. The Blue Jays are listed at +180, meaning a $100 bet on Toronto would return $180 if they pull off the upset.
The Dodgers, seeking baseball’s first repeat champion this century, feature a loaded roster headlined by Shohei Ohtani, who leads all World Series MVP candidates at 2-1 odds. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is Toronto’s top choice at 6-1, followed by Freddie Freeman and George Springer at 10-1.
Series outcome odds suggest oddsmakers expect a competitive series but lean toward Los Angeles closing it out in five or six games. The Dodgers winning 4-2 is the most likely outcome at 15/4 (+375), followed by a 4-1 victory at 7/2 (+350). Toronto’s best shot, per the book, is a seven-game win priced at 6-1.
In prop betting, Ohtani is also the favorite to hit the most home runs in the series at +250, followed by Guerrero Jr. at +450. Other contenders include Toronto’s Daulton Varsho and George Springer (7/1) and Los Angeles sluggers Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernandez (8/1).
Pitchers could also factor into the MVP race, with Dodgers aces Blake Snell (20/1), Yoshinobu Yamamoto (40/1) and Roki Sasaki (55/1) joining veterans like Clayton Kershaw (100/1). Toronto’s rotation features Kevin Gausman (60/1), Shane Bieber (45/1) and Max Scherzer (80/1).
The 2025 World Series marks a meeting between two of baseball’s most powerful lineups — one built through massive spending and international star power, the other through homegrown development and patience.
The series opens later this week, with Los Angeles chasing back-to-back titles and Toronto aiming to bring the Commissioner’s Trophy back north of the border for the first time in 32 years.
