Postseason odds for every MLB club in 2025 according to FanGraphs
American League East
The American League East has been one of the most competitive divisions nearly every MLB season. While the New York Yankees have arguably enjoyed the best offseason, they are not the only club projected to reach the postseason in 2025, with the Boston Red Sox expected to contend for a playoff berth.
American League Central
The American League Central should be competitive when it comes to the division title, however, when it comes to a postseason berth FanGraphs might be hard to come by. The Minnesota Twins are the only team projected to reach the MLB playoffs, however, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Kansas City Royals or the Detroit Tigers make a run.
American League West
The American League West is one of two MLB divisions that FanGraphs projects to have three teams of having above 50% odds of reaching the postseason. The Texas Rangers have the highest odds to reach the playoffs in the AL West, however, it's a tight battle for the number of spot.
National League West
It may come as no surprise that the Los Angeles Dodgers are the heavy favorites in the NL West to claim a postseason spot. FanGraphs view the reigning World Series champions as a near lock to reach the MLB playoffs, giving them the best odds of any team in the league.
National League Central
The NL Central might struggle to secure a multiple playoff berths with the Chicago Cubs being the only team over 50% to reach the postseason according to FanGraphs. While the regular season can be unpredictable, the additions of Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly may have given the Cubs the advantage over their rivals.
National League East
It could be an amazing battle this season for the NL East crown. The Atlanta Braves, New York Mets, and Philadelphia Phillies are all legtitimate contenders for the World Series title, which could make the division race and exciting one as the years rolls along.
