World Series Futures
When it comes to MLB futures odds, World Series betting is the most common among baseball bettors. As soon as a team is crowned world champions, sportsbooks open the next baseball futures odds market, and it will stay open until another MLB champion is determined the following year.
Evidence suggests waiting before placing World Series futures bets, but if you are keen on a pre-season wager, don't go with the chalk. In the last 10 seasons, only three pre-season favorites (the 2020 & 2024 Dodgers and 2016 Cubs) have gone on to win the championship. You can check out a complete breakdown of World Series futures on our dedicated World Series odds page.

What are MLB Championship Series futures?
A common MLB futures wager is pennant betting on both National and American League futures. This is when baseball bettors wager on the teams they think will represent the American League and National League in the World Series.
The odds for these markets are a little softer, as it's slightly easier to qualify for the Fall Classic than it is to win it all.
The AL/NL representation in the World Series is pretty even. No league (AL or NL) has won more than four World Series in a row since 1979-1982.

AL Central Best Bet: Cleveland Guardians
Despite losing Shane Bieber for the season, Cleveland's pitching has still positioned the Guardians to take the AL Central this year. It's in large part thanks to Emmanuel Clase and an elite bullpen, but steps up from guys like Ben Lively in the rotation help, too. As long as Josh Naylor, Steven Kwan, and Jose Ramirez stay healthy, the Guardians should have enough offense to hold off the rest of the division.

What Are MLB Futures?
An MLB futures wager is betting on a baseball event that will occur a little later in the year. This could range from an MLB division winner to end-of-season awards for individual players.
The most popular baseball futures bets include wagering on which team will win the World Series, who will win the American League and National League pennants, which pitcher will come away with the Cy Young Award, who's the next top prospect with the Rookie of the Year Award, and who will be named the Most Valuable Player.
