While many teams, like the Yankees, retain similar odds from previous years, others see notable shifts. The Braves, Cubs, and Dodgers emerge as front runners in the National League. Meanwhile, the American League West showcases a surprising drop for the Astros, who, after years of supremacy, now stand third in projections, reflecting a loss of key players and intensifying competition, particularly from the Rangers and Mariners.
