An FDA/AGA-approved consumer warning: Do not put a lot of stock in the odds below suggesting which teams are most likely to win MLB's 2024 World Series.
The oddsmakers employed by America's top legal sports betting apps put out a lot of numbers about that even now — 51 weeks in advance of the next champion spraying champagne everywhere — but the ability to correlate those numbers with postseason baseball success is a whole other matter.
Just ask the Texas Rangers, whom few people not named Bruce Bochy would have predicted before the season started would become 2023 World Series champions. The bettors willing to back them last spring could get 50/1 odds, or about the same chance as the New York Jets scoring an offensive touchdown between now and Christmas.
