2025 MLB odds: Rockies in the midst of historically bad start

Annually, baseball fans have a pretty good idea of which teams are expected to be the best in the league. 

This year, the best guesses appear to be the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Mets, etc. 

But what about the worst teams?

Let’s take a look at the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook for which team will have the best regular season, and which will have the worst, as of April 29. 

Best regular-season record 2025

Dodgers: -700 (bet $10 to win $11.43 total)
Mets: +475 (bet $10 to win $57.50 total)
Yankees: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)
Tigers: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total)

Cubs: +1800 (bet $10 to win $190 total)
Giants: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)
Braves: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)

What to know: L.A. had the best record in baseball in 2024, the third-best record in 2023, the best record in 2022, the second-best record in 2021, the best record in the COVID-shortened 2020 season and the second-best record in 2019. Seeing a trend? After opening the season at -210, the Dodgers have seen their odds drop sharply, despite stiff competition from the Giants and Padres in the NL West. Second on the board is the Mets, who, as of April 29, have the best record in the sport.
