2026 World Series Odds: Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees Still Favored One Month Into Season

We’re over a month into the 2026 MLB season, and there have already been a few surprising starts.

Both the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Phillies have already made managerial changes after slow starts, and the New York Mets could be next after their long losing streak to open the season. Firing Rob Thomson didn’t impact the Phillies World Series odds, though.

At the top, the New York Yankees lead the American League, with the Atlanta Braves leading the National League as one of the pleasant surprises of the early going.

Let’s take a look at the 2026 World Series odds for every MLB team a month into the season.

When we took a look at the 2026 World Series odds ahead of spring training, the Dodgers and Yankees were at the top. They’re still there, of course, with the Dodgers shortening from +230 to +200, and the Yankees going down as well from +950 to +650. They’re still the teams to beat in their respective leagues.

The Braves have been one of the biggest movers in the first month of the season. They’re now tied for the third-best odds at +1100 after sitting in eighth at +1600 back in February.

The Tigers have also seen some movement after a strong start. They’ve gone from 25/1 to 19/1, and now have the sixth-shortest odds to win it all.

Another American League team to improve their odds is the Rangers. Texas’ odds to win the World Series were 30/1 before the season and are now at 22/1 despite hovering around .500.

Last year’s American League champions have gone the other way, though. The Blue Jays were tied for the fourth-best odds before the season, but they’re now down at a tie for the seventh-best odds, moving from 14/1 to 22/1 after a 14-16 start.

While firing Thomson didn’t move the Phillies World Series odds, that’s only because they had dipped a bit before that. They’ve sunk quite a bit since before spring training when they were tied for the fourth-best odds at 14/1, and have now more than doubled to 30/1.

The Pirates deserve some recognition as well. They were down toward the basement at 100/1 before the season, and while they likely don’t have enough just yet to make a World Series run, the oddsmakers are showing them some respect at 45/1.

One team that I’m surprised to not see any movement with is the Reds. They’re 20-11 to start the season, tied with the Dodgers, but their World Series odds were 40/1 before spring training and still sit there a month into the season.
