The Los Angeles Dodgers won the NL West in 2023 for the 2nd consecutive year and for the 10th time in 11 seasons, and won 100 games for the 3rd consecutive year and 4th time in the last 5 season. However, for the 2nd straight year, they failed to make it out of the divisional round of the playoffs, getting swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 3 games despite being among the favorites to win the title.
They have championship expectations against in 2024. Let’s analyze the Los Angeles Dodgers’ World Series odds, along with their projected win total, playoff, division and AL/NL odds as we make our expert MLB picks and predictions.
What’s new in 2024?

Los Angeles Dodgers World Series odds
Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday, March 18 at 6:45 a.m. ET.
Odds: +320 (bet $100 to win $320)
The Dodgers are the favorites to win it all, followed by the Atlanta Braves (+450), Houston Astros (+700) and New York Yankees (+900)
At +320, L.A. has an implied probability of winning the World Series of 23.81% or 16/5 fractional odds.
While they have disappointed the last 2 postseasons, by adding Ohtani, they not only added one of the best bats in the Game to the lineup, they also added a great starter, plus another top talent to the rotation in Yamamoto.
Backing the DODGERS (+320) to win it all makes sense.
