"The Los Angeles Dodgers entered the 2025 MLB regular season as the largest title favorites in over two decades, and they'll head into the 2025 World Series as the overwhelming favorites to win their second straight championship. Los Angeles opened as the -210 favorite to win the World Series over the Toronto Blue Jays, who opened at +175, according to ESPN BET odds. The series spread opened at Dodgers -1.5 (-115) to the Jays' +1.5 (-105)."
"The Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners in Game 7 of their American League Championship Series on Monday, sending Toronto to its first World Series since 1993.

ESPN BET reports nearly a third of all of its World Series tickets, including settled bets, backing LA; among playoff teams, the Dodgers have garnered 44.4% of the handle since the beginning of the postseason."
