Futures Market for 2026 Favors Dodgers
The 2025 World Series is in the books and the Los Angeles Dodgers are your champions after one of the greatest Game 7s ever played in any sport. It’s the Dodgers’ third championship in six seasons.
The Dodgers open as a heavy +400 favorite once again. This time to win their third straight World Series trophy in 2026 after defeating the Blue Jays in series that will go down as an instant classic. The New York Yankees are the next favorite at +850 followed by the Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies at +1200.
The 2025 World Series was about as dramatic as any playoff series could get. It had something for everyone. And the Dodgers couldn’t get a hit to save themselves until they needed hits to save their season. Miguel Rojas hit a homer in the ninth inning, and Will Smith won it with one in the 11th. The Dodgers won Game 7, 5-4, and the World Series, 4-3.
People can say what they want about the Dodgers’ team payroll. However, it didn’t buy a championship. They were the favorite in MLB odds all season and through the postseason. It was players deep on the roster who delivered a payment for those who bet on the MLB futures market this season.
Next up is a chance to win three in a row; three-peat is a nod to Pat Riley (who trademarked the phrase) after his Lakers pulled it off years ago. Another Showtime LA team, as this one can now be considered.
MLB lines at BetUS have the Dodgers at +400 to win the 2026 World Series. Yes, folks, the futures market at America’s Best Sportsbook is up and ready for wagers. Now, the suggestion might be to wait and see what LA does this offseason.
The Dodger hitters were anemic in the World Series. The front office has to add bats. The starting pitching is set. The bullpen was absolutely shaky through much of the season and had its troubled times in the postseason.
What does it all add up to? Unless you are flush with excitement because of the back-to-back championships, it might be wise to try and get some better odds on the Dodgers winning it all in 2026.
Will the Blue Jays Return to the World Series, and Win It?
Oddsmakers aren’t quite as optimistic about the 2025 American League champs despite how close they came to sealing a win in Game 7.
Fresh off a World Series loss, the Blue Jays have closer to the middle of the pack than they are the top off the odds board, sitting at +2000 to win the 2026 World Series, which is tied with the Chicago Cubs and Detroit Tigers for the eighth-best MLB lines.
Toronto was not expected to win its division, let alone come within a couple of outs of winning the World Series. The Blue Jays went from last in the AL East in 2024 to first in 2025. They have a strong lineup.
The hitters did far more than Dodger bats in the World Series. Players who no one outside of North of the Border knew have become familiar names. Getting back and winning it all won’t be easy
This team has some huge decisions. Max Scherzer is no kid. And are they going to sign Bo Bichette or let him walk in free agency? Roster moves and decisions will go a long way to seeing how MLB lines at BetUS float in the 2026 futures market.
Teams To Watch in the 2026 World Series Futures Market
Now that the teams that finished a thrilling World Series are out of the way, who else could factor into the championship picture in 2026. The Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies are +1200 when looking to bet on the MLB 2026 World Series winner.
Seattle pushed Toronto to the limit before losing in the ALCS. The Phillies didn’t make it that far as the Dodgers dusted them a round earlier. Looking at each team, it feels like Seattle is built for success in the long run, and the window on the Phillies could be smaller. They have to fill holes in the lineup, are going to move on from Nick Castellanos, and have to hope Zach Wheeler returns healthy.
The New York Mets spend like the Dodgers but haven’t gotten anywhere near the results. That’s why they are +1600 in the futures market. The team they share the Big Apple with, the New York Yankees, is +850. With the way the Bronx Bombers tend to disappoint year after year, those odds feel like when the Dallas Cowboys are short in the Super Bowl futures market. They are what they are because their fans put their money where their loyalty is.
Others teams that will draw interest from the 2026 World Series futures market are the San Diego Padres (+1600), Houston Astros (+1400), and Detroit Tigers (+2000). Remember, if one sees a line they like it’s never too early to get in the MLB championship futures game. And BetUS is the best spot to do just that.
Here’s a look at the (very, VERY) early favorites to come out in 2026.
