The Philadelphia Phillies exceeded expectations last year with a 90-72 record, going 41-40 on the road and 49-32 at home in Citizens Bank Park. Philadelphia finished 2nd in the National League East, 6 Games ahead of the Miami Marlins and 14 Games behind the Atlanta Braves. The Phillies lost in Game 7 of the NLCS to the Diamondbacks to end their season.
The biggest news this offseason for Philadelphia was the team’s resigning of SP Aaron Nola to a 7-year, $172 million contract. Nola, who went 12-9 last season, and SP Zack Wheeler, who went 21-13 and led the team in ERA (3.61) and strikeouts (212), headline the Phillies pitching staff. On the offensive side, 1B Bryce Harper led the team in batting average (.293) while DH Kyle Schwarber hit a team-high 47 home runs.
Let’s analyze the Philadelphia Phillies‘s World Series odds, along with their projected win total, playoff, division and NL odds as we make our expert MLB picks and predictions.
Philadelphia Phillies World Series odds
Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Tuesday, March 26, at 12:09 a.m. ET.
Odds: +1500 (bet $100 to win $1,500)
Philadelphia has the 7th shortest odds to win it all. The Los Angeles Dodgers (+350) are favorites, followed by the Atlanta Braves (+450), and Houston Astros (+800).
At +1500, Philadelphia has an implied probability of winning the World Series of 6% or 15/1 fractional odds.
The Oakland A’s, Chicago White Sox, and Colorado Rockies have the longest odds at +50000. The Washington Nationals are next at +25000.
The Phillies are looking to pick up where they left off last season, even with minimal offseason activity. With a top offense and a pitching staff that was made deeper through acquisitions, this team has a chance to make a big impact in 2024.
Backing the PHILLIES (+1500) to win the World Series for a 15-1 payoff is worth a small wager.

Philadelphia Phillies playoff odds
Will they make the playoffs: Yes -210 | No +170
Back PHILLIES TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS (-210). While the odds do not present the most value, Philadelphia is a team that is poised to make an impact, not only in its division, but through October as well. They handled the division-rival Braves in the playoffs and are equipped to do it again. Barring any sort of injury, the Phillies should be a shoe-in for the playoffs.
Philadelphia Phillies win total
Over/Under: 89.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)
Philadelphia had 90 wins last year which would just cover their win total for this season. It had a great season last year which explains the increased odds for the Over, however, the UNDER 89.5 (-105) is what you should back. While the team should have another strong year, 90 or more wins is a strong gamble for everything to not only go right, but go exceedingly to plan. Philadelphia needs to prove its ability to win on the road to be more confident in reaching that total.

To win NL East Division
- Atlanta Braves -275 (bet $275 to win $100)
- Philadelphia Phillies +325 (bet $100 to win $325)
- New York Mets +1200 (bet $100 to win $1,200)
- Miami Marlins +2200 (bet $100 to win $2,200)
- Washington Nationals +10000 (bet $100 to win $10,000)
Philadelphia’s implied probability of winning the AL Central is 30.76% or 3.25/1 fractional odds. The Braves are the only threat here, but PHILLIES (+325) is still worth a small wager.
To win National League
Odds: +800 (bet $100 to win $800)
The Phillies have potential to make another big run in 2024. They have the offensive ability and a deep rotation to match up against the top teams. However, due to their lack of offseason moves for a 3rd key starting pitcher, Philly may not have what it takes to win the NL. A small wager is always fun to keep track of and can return a decent profit, but do not go more than that.
