The 2024 MLB Playoffs are officially set!

The New York Mets and Atlanta Braves played in an exciting Monday double-header to decide the final two spots and with the two games being split, both the Mets and the Braves will advance to the postseason, leaving behind the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Now that the full playoff field is set, let's dive into the latest odds to win the World Seris.

Dodgers and Phillies Set as Favorites

To the surprise of few people, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies sit atop the odds list to win the World Series. The Dodgers have finished with the best record in baseball at 98-64 and the Phillies are behind them at 95-67.

The New York Yankees finished with the best record in the American League at 94-68, but some issues on the mound and a lukewarm finish to the season have bettors concerned whether or not they have what it takes for a deep postseason push.

Still, there's a significant gap between the Yankees at +450 and the fourth team on the list, the Houston Astros at +800.

Bettors Have No Faith in AL Central

Not many people predicted the AL Central would have three teams in the playoffs this season, but that's exactly what happened with both the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers snagging wild card berths.

With that in mind, it's worth noting oddsmakers and bettors have faith in any of them. The Cleveland Guardians, who won the division with a 92-69 record, but are just fifth on the odds list to win it all at 11-1. The Royals and Tigers have some of the longest odds on the board at 25-1 and 27-1, respectively.

The Tigers will face the Astros in the opening round and the Royals will take on the Orioles.
