Dodgers (+175) Favored to Finish With Best Record in 2024
In the last five seasons only one team has won the World Series with the best record in baseball
and that comes with an asterisk as the Dodgers took home the title in 2020 during the COVID
shortened season. But this market isn’t about who will win it all, rather which team will have the
most wins in the majors, what they do in the playoffs is irrelevant. And it’s no surprise as the
teams favored to win it all rank high in this market.
Los Angeles Dodgers (+175)
All the buzz has been centered around Hollywood and for good reason. The Dodgers made a
massive splash signing superstar Shohei Ohtani and adding fellow Japanese sensation
Yoshinobu Yamamoto. L.A. wasn’t done there signing Tyler Glasnow and Teoscar Hernandez
while shelling out over a billion dollars in new contracts. The Dodgers have recorded 100 wins
in 4 of the past five seasons, but led the league with 43 wins during the COVID shortened 2020
year. The Dodgers over/under for wins is set at 103.5.
Atlanta Braves (+275)
After winning the World Series in 2021 the Braves have compiled back-to-back 100-win seasons (101,104) only to get turfed from the playoffs in the NLDS. In 2023, Atlanta led the league in wins and should be in the same ballpark in 2024. Nine of their top ten hitters are back and the Braves were the number one scoring offense and that potency remains intact this season. On the mound they’re led by Cy Young favorite Spencer Strider, who led the league in strikeouts. The Braves over/under for wins is set at 100.5
Worth A Shot
New York Yankees (+900)
After a disappointing season the Yankees are expected to return to their throne atop the AL
East. 2023 was dismal as the Bronx Bombers missed the playoffs and had their worst winning
percentage (.506) since 1992. But New York made some big changes including adding Juan
Soto and Marcus Stroman among others. A healthy Aaron Judge and Carlos Rodon means not
only is this team good enough to win the division but could also challenge Houston, Atlanta and
L.A. for the record in baseball. And at +900, it wouldn’t be a bad bet considering the Yankees
over/under total sits at 93.5.
