Despite losing both Max Muncy and Clayton Kershaw over the weekend, the Dodgers will enter the 2021 postseason as the odds-on favorites to win it all. This isn’t how things usually work. A Wild Card seed is hardly ever given this much respect. When that Wild Card team wins 106 games during the regular season, however, people are forced to pay attention.
According to BetMGM, the reigning champions are given the best odds to represent the National League in the World Series once again. Doing so would mark their 4th trip to the Fall Classic in 5 years, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since the New York Yankees made it 5 times in 6 years back in the early 2000s.
