Dodgers and Blue Jays Face Off in High-Stakes World Series

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the clear favorites to win the 2025 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is not surprising, as they have been the top pick all season. The odds are heavily in their favor, with the Dodgers at -210 compared to the Blue Jays' +175. This means that bettors believe the Dodgers are more likely to win. The Blue Jays, however, have shown they can pull off upsets. They recently beat the Seattle Mariners in a thrilling Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. This victory sent them to the World Series for the first time since 1993. It's a big deal for the Blue Jays, but the Dodgers are still seen as the stronger team. The Dodgers have been the betting public's favorite all season. Nearly a third of all World Series bets at ESPN BET are on the Dodgers. This support has been steady, even when the Dodgers had some struggles during the regular season. The Blue Jays, on the other hand, started the season with long odds of +6000. They gained some attention late in the season but still only have 7. 7% of the bets at ESPN BET. If the Dodgers win, they will have been the favorites from start to finish for two years in a row. The last team to do this was the New York Yankees in 1999 and 2000. The sportsbook, BetMGM, also has a lot riding on a Dodgers victory. They see the Blue Jays as the best possible outcome for the American League. Game 1 of the World Series will be played at Rogers Centre in Toronto. The Blue Jays are slight underdogs at +125, while the Dodgers are the road favorites at -150. It's a big moment for both teams, but the Dodgers are expected to come out on top.
