I’m no gambling man, but if I were going to bet, I’d bet on the team with Shohei Ohtani.
The Dodgers are the overwhelming favorites in the series, with odds of -220 to win the World Series, reflecting an implied 68.75% probability of victory.
The Dodgers won last year with Ohtani doing basically nothing, and then getting hurt. This year he is in top form, and pitching in top form too, plus a slew of other top starting pitchers. It seems a safe bet.
