The Dodgers are still the class of baseball after MLB’s trade deadline, according to oddsmakers.
The reigning champs remained heavy favorites to win the 2025 World Series after a relatively quiet deadline with the additions of outfielder Alex Call and reliever Brock Stewart.
Here’s a look at where things stand now that the dust has settled.

The Yankees (+850) and Mets (+1000) remain in the inner-circle of World Series contenders after a flurry of moves for both teams.

The Astros (+1100) made perhaps the biggest move of the deadline, bringing back Carlos Correa in a trade with the Twins.

San Diego made a big splash in a trade with the A’s, acquiring star closer Mason Miller and left-handed starter J.P. Sears, although it cost Leo De Vries, the No. 3 prospect in baseball, according to MLB.com.
They also added Ryan O’Hearn and Ramon Laureano from the Orioles to bolster their lineup.
Like the Dodgers, the Tigers, Cubs and Brewers stuck to relatively minor moves despite Vegas bookies giving them a decent shot at a World Series.
