Yankees Bullpen Bolstered as World Series Odds Shift
1 Aug
Summary
- Yankees leapfrog Phillies in World Series odds
- Astros, Mariners, Red Sox see odds changes
- Mets drop from +850 to +950 despite additions
As of August 1st, 2025, the MLB Trade Deadline has had a significant impact on the World Series odds market. The most notable change is the New York Yankees, who have leapfrogged the Philadelphia Phillies in the odds, moving from +900 to +800.
This shift comes after Yankees general manager Brian Cashman fortified the team's bullpen with the additions of Camilo Doval, David Bednar, and Jake Bird, trading away nine prospects in the process. The Yankees also added infielder Jose Caballero as a backup option to Anthony Volpe.
While the Phillies remained stagnant at +850, the Mets saw their odds drop from +850 to +950 despite adding Gregoty Soto and Ryan Helsley to their pitching staff. The Mets currently hold a half-game lead over the Phillies heading into the weekend.
Elsewhere, the Houston Astros, who recently re-acquired Carlos Correa, saw their odds move from +1100 to +1200. The Seattle Mariners, despite adding Eugenio Suarez and Josh Naylor, dropped from +1600 to +1700. The Boston Red Sox, who added Steven Matz and Dustin May, saw their odds shift from +2700 to +3000.
As the postseason approaches, these odds changes reflect the shifting landscape of the MLB landscape and the jockeying for position among the league's top contenders.
