Dodgers Have 4th Shortest Odds to Win 2023 World Series
Major League Baseball is almost here and once again LA fans have something to celebrate as the LA Dodgers should enter the season among the best teams in the league.
The Dodgers just won the World Series two years ago.
Will Leitch of MLB.com writes:
The Dodgers have been the best team in baseball for the last decade, but this is a postseason sport now. Until the Dodgers win two -- you know, like the Astros have -- this is going to be a fact that pesters them every day, every week and every month of every year.
The Dodgers pay anywhere from $750 to $800 on a $100 bet to win the 2023 World Series.
