As October rolls on, lock in for the latest World Series odds, as well as markets for pennant winners and the World Series MVP award.

There’s nothing quite like the glory — and the stress, oh, the glorious stress! — of the MLB Postseason. For as long as your team sticks around, you’re hanging on every pitch.

But the biggest question is not about nachos vs. loaded tots (even though you already know the correct answer). Rather, it’s the simpler one: Who’s going to win this whole damn thing? Is it smart to stick with the high-flying favorites from Atlanta, or is there superior value to be had down the docket among baseball’s upwardly mobile giant-killers?

Folks, let’s dive into the latest 2023 MLB Playoff odds from our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, plus additional betting markets for the AL and NL pennant and the World Series MVP award.
