With the division series now complete, we are down to the final four teams that can win it all in 2024.

Here are the four contenders and their chances of winning the World Series as of the 14th of October.
World Series 2024 odds updated
#1, Los Angeles Dodgers (+110)
The Dodgers have emerged as favorites thanks to a strong comeback against the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series. Los Angeles was on the brink of exit after dropping Games 2 and 3, mostly due to some weak starting pitching. However, a resilient bullpen-led effort in Game 4 and a solid outing from Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave them the edge.
They face the New York Mets in the pennant-clinching series, a team they had beaten four out of six times in the regular season. Dodgers secured the opener with a shutout 9-0 victory to go one-up. As per Fan Duel, they have +110 odds to win the World Series.
#2, New York Yankees (+175)
Right behind the Dodgers for the favourite spot, the Yankees have similar odds to win the championship as per Fan Duel. Aaron Boone's team found some much-needed consistency of late. The New York Yankees disposed of the Kansas City Royals in four games to book a place in the ALCS for the second time in three years.
Their pitching is carrying all their headlines with Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt's starts helping them win both games in Kansas City. They face the Cleveland Guardians in the ALCS.
#3, Cleveland Guardians (+550)
The Guardians' odds are a result of the weaker Detroit Tigers taking them all the way in their division series matchup. The Guardians won 7-3 in Game 5 which set them up with a trip to Yankee Stadium.
The bullpen continues to be strong for the team from Ohio. If the Guardians win the World Series, they will break the Cleveland curse that has seen the club go trophy-less for the past 76 years. Fan Duel isn't giving them much to break that, as they have +550 odds to win the World Series.
#4, New York Mets (+650)
The New York Mets will not be concerned to start off as underdogs against Los Angeles. They were also against the odds against the much-fancied Philadelphia Phillies, who were billed with a shot at winning the World Series.
Carlos Mendoza's side has been strong at the plate, scoring 23 runs in four games against one of the best rotations in the league. They would be keen on again winning all three games at home, after losing the first game in the west coast. They have +650 odds to win at least eight more games.
