The celebration lasted about as long as it takes oddsmakers to post a new board.\n\nDraftKings Sportsbook has the Dodgers as the 2027 favorites at +310, with the newly crowned Brewers right behind at +500. The Yankees sit third at +700, the only other team with single-digit odds, followed by the Red Sox at +1100 and the Mariners and Phillies tied at +1800.\n\nThe snub tracks with how the Dodgers' season actually ended: Los Angeles was swept by Milwaukee in the NLCS, falling short in its bid for a third straight championship. That leaves Shohei Ohtani and company with a full offseason of questions, including free agent decisions, even as the sportsbooks keep them on top.\n\nRounding out the board, the Rays and Mets sit at +2200, with the Padres, Guardians, Cubs and Braves all at +2500. The Royals and Cardinals bring up the rear at +9000. None of it matters until pitchers and catchers report, but for now the champs are already chasing someone else's number.","published_at":"2026-10-29T16:35:36.606804+00:00","source_count":6,"written_from":[{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Champion Brewers trail Dodgers in '27 World Series title odds","url":"https://www.espn.com/espn/betting/story/_/id/50317900/champion-brewers-trail-dodgers-27-world-series-title-odds"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"2027 World Series odds: Dodgers open as favorites, Yankees lead AL contenders","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/29/betting/2027-world-series-odds-dodgers-open-as-favorites-yankes-third/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"2027 World Series odds: Can Brewers go back-to-back?
