2024 World Series Betting On The New York Yankees vs. LA Dodgers

The New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers have reached the 2024 World Series, with Game 1 starting this Friday in LA. The two franchises are ranked first and second in overall World Series appearances, with NY making it 40 times and the Dodgers 25.

That’s more appearances than the bottom-ranked 18 MLB teams combined.

With so many pennants in the bag, it’s only natural that the two also have an extensive history against each other in the World Series. They’ve met twelve times for the championship, with the first matchup occurring over 80 years ago.

    • 1941 – Yankees (4–1)
    • 1947 – Yankees (4–3)
    • 1949 – Yankees (4–1)

    • 1978 – Yankees (4–2)
    • 1981 – Dodgers (4–2)
    • 2024 – TBD

The Yankees hold the most sizable advantage over the Dodgers and the remainder of the league in total World Series titles. New York has 27 compared to the Dodgers’ 7. The second-best team is the Cardinals, with 11.

MLB historians were anxious at the potential for another Subway Series, but the New York Mets were blown out 10-5 yesterday, losing the NLCS in 6 games. The Dodgers were located in Brooklyn until 1958, so their prior seven championship matchups against the Yankees are considered Subway Series.

Online MLB sportsbooks have listed the Dodgers as a slight favorite.

At all of the World Series betting sites we work with, the lines for Game 1 favor the home team. The following line is posted at Bovada LV.

Game 1 Betting Line

  • Run Line: Yankees +1.5 (-185), Dodgers -1.5 (+160)
  • Moneyline: Yankees +112, Dodgers -134
  • Over: 8.0 (-110)
  • Under: 8.0 (-110)

The probable starter for Game 1 will be right-hander Garret Cole for New York. LA has yet to make a decision on who will take the mound this Friday.

The following MLB prop bet implies that the World Series will be a total of six games. Combine that with the current Dodgers-Yankees prices, and that suggests that LA will hoist the MLB Commissioner’s Trophy following Game 6 in Los Angeles a week from Friday.
