While it may seem like the World Series just ended yesterday it is never too early to begin looking at futures bets for next season. Since Free Agency has just begun there will still be massive changes to these odds and these outlooks but there is still value in some of these numbers and let’s take a look at the bets I like best.

I combined these two teams because they are the betting favorites as of right now and for a good reason. The Dodgers have been the best team in baseball for the last five or so seasons and while their postseason success has not followed, they are still one of the best bets out there. They may be losing Trea Turner to go along with losing Tyler Anderson already but they have proven to be one of the best player development shops in baseball. They have consistently been able to backfill for players they lose and have been able to make the most out of their starting pitchers. The Turner loss might be one of the bigger ones yet, but they still have two MVP candidates anchoring their offense. The Astros are the AL-equivalent of the Dodgers with elite player development to go along with one of the best cores in all of baseball. If they do not re-sign Justin Verlander that is a pretty big blow to their pitching staff but they still have several elite arms that were excellent in this recen t World Series run. The Astros will not be losing much from their offensive core which, again, is still one of the best in baseball. These two teams are elite and as of right now and are clearly a step above the rest of baseball as it stands right now.
