World Series Odds are Set – Series Preview & Pick
Matt Dominique | October 21, 2024
The Dodgers will play the role of home favorites (although only slightly favored) to the NY Yankees. The Dodgers were pretty much favorites from start to finish of the season. They have a loaded roster and have had more success in recent years having won the World Series back in 2020. The Yanks, as you probably know, haven’t won it all since 2009.
The Dodgers have won a total of 7 World Series in their existence and the Yanks have 26. These two teams have faced each other 11 times in the World Series already with the Yanks winning 8 of them. This is their first World Series matchup since 1981.
The Yankees are 1-2 against the Dodgers in 2024 and have been outscored 10 runs to 17.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Yankees:
- Strengths: Power-hitting lineup, strong bullpen, and ability to come back in games.
- Weaknesses: Injuries to key players can impact depth, and consistency in starting pitching is crucial.
Dodgers:
- Strengths: Deep lineup with a mix of power and contact hitters, strong starting rotation, and versatile players.
- Weaknesses: Potential vulnerability in the bullpen under pressure and occasional struggles with clutch hitting.

Betting Analysis
This series truly is up in the air and either team could win it. We could easily see this series going the distance and making it to game 7. Series exacta odds are not available yet but that is a bet you may want to consider.
If I had to pick a team in this series I would go ahead and take the Yankees +110. There is a little more value on that pick. However, I don’t feel strongly about it either way.
