2025 MLB World Series Betting Online
In 2024, Major League Baseball got its dream World Series from a branding, TV market, and fan interest perspective. The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers met, and the TV ratings were the best in recent memory, burying those in the NBA Finals by comparison. The Dodgers won the World Series 4-1 for their first full-season title since 1988 and Kirk Gibson fame. It comes as no surprise that the Dodgers and Yankees open the 2025 MLB future markets among the top favorites to win the 2025 Fall Classic. Both teams have massive payrolls that give them a margin for error that few other teams can match.

The New York Yankees have made the most appearances in the Fall Classic with 40; they won 27. Not surprisingly, the Bronx Bombers are the last team to repeat as World Series champions, with three consecutive crowns from 1998 through 2000.
The San Francisco Giants have made the most NL appearances with 20, but the NL team with the most Series wins is the St. Louis Cardinals with 11. The American League has won 68 of the 119 overall World Series played.
Of the original 16 franchises still around today, each has won at least two World Series titles. After the Washington Nationals won it all in 2019, the Seattle Mariners are the only franchise yet to appear in a World Series.
The San Diego Padres have made it to the Fall Classic twice but failed to bring home the Commissioner's Trophy each time.
The Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies, and Tampa Bay Rays failed to win it in their lone appearances.
The Houston Astros won their first World Series in their second appearance in 2017. And then the Astros lost their next two appearances in 2019 and 2021. But Houston showed resiliency in winning the 2022 Fall Classic for its second championship in franchise history.
The Texas Rangers won their first World Series title in 2023, taking out the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games.
