How World Series futures work
A World Series future pays if your team wins the whole thing. Twelve teams make the MLB postseason: the top two seeds in each league skip the best-of-three Wild Card round, then it is a best-of-five Division Series, a best-of-seven League Championship Series and the best-of-seven World Series. A Wild Card team has to win four rounds; a bye team needs three.
Why baseball favorites carry long prices
Baseball is the most random of the major sports in a short series. Even a dominant team wins only around 60% of its games, and a best-of-three or best-of-five can turn on one start. That is why the World Series favorite rarely prices shorter than about +200, and why longshots win more often in October than in any other league's playoffs.
Reading the implied chance
+400 means the market gives a team about a 20% chance; +1000 about 9%. Add up every team's implied chance and the total runs over 100%, and the amount above 100 is the margin in the prices. A team's pennant price is the first half of its path: it has to win its league before it can win the World Series.

FAQ
When is the 2026 World Series?
The postseason opens with the Wild Card Series at the end of September, and the World Series follows the two League Championship Series in late October.
How many teams make the MLB playoffs?
Twelve: six from each league. The top two division winners in each league get a bye past the Wild Card round, and the other four teams in each league play best-of-three Wild Card series.
What is the difference between pennant odds and World Series odds?
Pennant odds are the price for a team to win its league, the American League or National League, and reach the World Series. World Series odds are the price to win the championship itself, so they are always longer.
Where do these odds come from?
They are BettorEdge community odds: prices set by the marketplace, converted to American odds and an implied chance, and refreshed every hour.
