Best bets: 2023 Oakland Athletics World Series odds, win total and more

The Oakland Athletics were terrible in 2022, and 2023 does not look to be much better.

A series of mediocre offseason moves, signing new 3B Jace Peterson (2 years, $9.5 million), 1B Jesus Aguilar (1 year, $3 million) and IF/DH Aledmys Diaz (2 years, $14.5 million) along with RP Trevor May (1 year, $7 million) were the only signings, and the odds for the Athletics show the value the signings had.

The Athletics finished last in the AL West a year ago with a 60-102 record, so it's no surprise that this season they have the worst odds in baseball for the division, to make the playoffs and to win the World Series. Their win total is also the lowest in MLB, just behind the Washington Nationals, who are in a total rebuild just like the A's.
