Arizona Diamondbacks 2024 World Series Odds
Nobody expected the Arizona Diamondbacks to win the 2023 National League pennant and set foot in a World Series. At the onset of 2024, nobody expected the D-Backs to return to the Fall Classic. After the first half of the season, those gamblers are looking like the smartest folks in the room. Arizona is in the red as the All-Star break approaches but is still theoretically in the National League wild card race. Arizona is still getting adequate run production. Their problem is a pitching staff that is among the worst in baseball.

With a record of 84-78, the Arizona Diamondbacks barely made the National League Playoffs as a wild card team. Yet the Diamondbacks went all the way to the World Series, where they ran out of steam against the superior Texas Rangers, losing four games to one. Were the Diamondbacks a flash in the pan, or are they here to stay? That is the question confronting gamblers in 2024. So far, Arizona is not getting much love on the future market to win the 2024 World Series. Arizona had a solid offseason, which offered hope for the potential of another D-Backs playoff run. Yet the Diamondbacks have not offered consistency in the first half of 2024.
The Diamondbacks won the National League pennant, but even they’d admit they did it with an imperfect roster. The rotation was two deep for most of the year and they hit 30 fewer homers than the average National League team, which helps explain how they were outscored in the regular season. They entered the offseason needing a reliable starting pitcher and some power.
Arizona wanted to add depth to the starting rotation, as well as more thump to the lineup. Methodically, they did just that. Eduardo Rodriguez was one of the best starters on the market but is on the 60-day IL. His addition was to give Arizona three proven veterans at the head of the rotation. In addition to adding Eugenio Suárez, who fills a hole at third base, and Joc Pederson, who will provide pop against right-handers in the DH role, the team re-signed outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who was a big part of their lineup in 2023.
Gamblers are asking if the D-backs build off last season’s magical run to the World Series. Last year, they were able to sneak up on teams and did not weigh expectations. This year, that is no longer the case.
