2025 MLB National League Pennant Betting - Bet on Baseball

MLB National League Pennant Betting Online

At the approach of spring training and the rush of future market action, The Los Angeles Dodgers are prohibitive favorites to repeat as National League Champions. Los Angeles is coming off its first full-season World Series championship since 1988. Since 2017, the Dodgers have had four National League pennants. And with the largest payroll in baseball, they will certainly have the depth and ability to dominate the National League. The big question that future market gamblers have is who can step in for the Dodgers should LA falter. The Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, and New York Mets are the most popular second choices thus far.

The Dodgers only had two pitchers reach 100 innings last season, and they both spent the entire postseason on the sidelines with injuries, yet they were still able to maneuver their way to a World Series title. The stacked offense, bolstered by the addition of Shohei Ohtani, played a major part, but the bullpen also deserves major kudos for propping up the revolving door of a rotation. The offseason focus was on sorting out the 2025 pitching staff, but they may also eventually need to find a way to replace the 33 home runs and 92 RBI that Teoscar Hernández provided in the middle of the lineup. Even with significant talent set to depart, the Dodgers remain the team to beat in 2025.

The Phillies lost All-Star reliever Jeff Hoffman and prized trade deadline pickup Carlos Estévez, which created a major void in what was a vastly improved relief corps. This is quickly becoming an old roster, and while most of their stars are still in their respective primes, the window is starting to close on winning a title with this group. That should add a sense of urgency to the complementary moves they need to make this offseason.

It was going to cost more than a one-year, $1 million deal to bring back Jurickson Profar this time around after he posted a 134 OPS+ with 24 home runs, 85 RBI, and 3.6 WAR in 2024. He stands as the biggest loss for a Padres team with a roster that might be good enough to contend for a playoff spot without any outside additions. Catcher is also a need, and re-signing Texas Ranger Kyle Higashioka could have been the answer.
