December 25 Update
The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees are in a tier of their own on top of the World Series odds board heading into the new year.
With just James McCann off the board as far as significant free agents go, plenty will change between now and the start of spring training. But there doesn’t figure to be a change between the two currently at the top.
Not only are the Dodgers and Yankees arguably the two most talent teams in baseball, they’re public favorites on the futures market year in and year out.
The Dodgers are in on every key free agent and trade option because of their spending ability and savvy front office. The Yankees, meanwhile, are focused on bringing back batting champ DJ LeMahieu.
The Braves head the next tier of contenders at +1000. Atlanta needs to either bring back or replace Marcell Ozuna but has shored up the rotation with Charlie Morton and Drew Smyly.

The Rays are coming off a World Series loss to the Dodgers and are involved in cost-cutting rumors such as trading Blake Snell. Still, Tampa Bay always finds itself in the playoff conversation.
The Mets may be under the biggest spotlight this offseason with new owner Steve Cohen promising to bring change — and dollars — to New York’s other team. They’ve been linked to just about every top free agent and are expected to bring in at least one, if not two, of the top options.
Deeper down the odds board, the Washington Nationals (+3500) made a notable move acquiring former All-Star Josh Bell from the Pirates. Bell has big potential, as seen by his 2019 season, but his underlying numbers were worrisome in 2020. If he bounces back, he’s a perfect complement in the lineup with Juan Soto.
The Blue Jays are ‘in’ on many top free agents, signaling a willingness to spend and compete. That won’t be easy in the AL East with the Yankees, Rays and what should be an improved Red Sox team.
The bottom of the list has three teams at 100-1. Those odds will likely lengthen for the bottom teams once the season nears if you’re feeling a longshot.
