Braves start as 2024 favorite, but Ohtani poised to shift odds

The Atlanta Braves enter the offseason as the consensus favorite to win next year's World Series at sportsbooks around the nation, but the odds could change significantly depending on where marquee free agent Shohei Ohtani lands.

The Braves are listed at 13-2 by ESPN BET, followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers at 7-1. The Houston Astros and champion Texas Rangers are each 9-1, rounding out the teams with single-digit odds to win the 2024 World Series.

The Dodgers are considered the leading contender to land Ohtani, a move oddsmakers believe could propel them past the Braves into the role of World Series favorite.
