2024 World Series odds: Phillies among top options to win it all

The Texas Rangers won their first World Series on Wednesday night over the Arizona Diamondbacks to close out the 2023 World Series in five games. After dropping Game 2 at home, the Rangers won three straight games in Arizona, remaining a perfect 11-0 on the road during the playoffs.

Now, a busy offseason looms, especially for the Phillies, who have some notable players to make decisions on, including free-agents-to-be Rhys Hoskins, who was attempting to make a comeback from an ACL injury for the World Series, and pitching ace Aaron Nola.

After the Phillies came up one win short of the World Series, losing in the National League Championship Series to the Diamondbacks in Game 7, oddsmakers like their chances in 2024.

Only the Braves (+650), Dodgers (+800), Astros (+900) and the reigning champion Rangers (+1000) have shorter odds to win it all next season.

Some other notable odds listings: the Diamondbacks, who earned the final National League wild-card spot before making a surprise run to the World Series, are valued at +3000, tied with the Red Sox and Cubs for the 14th-shortest odds to win it all.
