The Milwaukee Brewers captured their first World Series title Wednesday, but the Dodgers remain the favorites to win the 2027 championship. According to Draft Kings, Los Angeles holds +310 odds, with Milwaukee close behind at +500. The New York Yankees sit at +700 to complete the consensus top three.
While the Brewers' magical postseason run has shortened their odds significantly from the 2026 regular season, bookmakers still favor the financial might of Los Angeles and New York. Draft Kings lists Boston at 11-1 and Philadelphia at 18-1. Notably, both Milwaukee and Tampa Bay built teams with bottom-half payrolls, yet bookmakers continue to favor high-spending franchises.
Johnny Avello of Draft Kings credits the Brewers' head-to-head sweep of the Dodgers in the NLCS for increased confidence in their October ability. Eric Biggio of Caesars points to the Dodgers' and Yankees' talent depth as the deciding factor. Elsewhere, the Chicago White Sox, a surprise success story, improved from 500-1 to 30-1.
The San Francisco Giants check in at 200-1, while the Colorado Rockies hold the longest consensus odds at 500-1.
