Dodgers' World Series Odds Plummet After Rough Patch
18 Aug
Summary
- Dodgers' World Series odds fell to 34% after losing to the Brewers.
- The team has a 5-11 record since July 31, including a seven-game losing streak.
- Key pitchers Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow are nearing return from injuries.
The Los Angeles Dodgers' chances of winning the World Series have diminished, with their market price falling to 34% after a series loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. This decline follows a challenging period for the team, which has gone 5-11 since July 31, experiencing a seven-game losing streak and a negative run differential.
The acquisition of pitcher Tarik Skubal on August 2, which initially boosted their World Series price to 40%, has not yet translated into wins, as he holds a 0-2 record with a 3.18 ERA since joining the team.
Despite the recent struggles, the Dodgers are seeing positive developments regarding injuries. Pitcher Blake Snell has been activated from the 60-day injured list, and Tyler Glasnow is nearing a return after resuming game action in Triple-A. Shohei Ohtani is also progressing in his rehabilitation, continuing as designated hitter while his pitching ramp-up accelerates.
These improving injury situations suggest that the Dodgers' World Series price may rise soon. They are scheduled to play the Colorado Rockies on Monday.
