Los Angeles Dodgers Odds

Los Angeles Dodgers 2025 Season Preview

Last season, the Los Angeles Dodgers captured their second World Series title since 2020. With Shohei Ohtani still at the peak of his powers, back-to-back championships are certainly within reach. 

Ohtani racked up his third MVP during his first season as a Dodger. Ohtani earned the distinction of becoming the first MLB player to ever hit at least 50 home runs and steal at least 50 bases in a season.

Mookie Betts performed admirably last season during his transition to shortshop. First baseman Freddie Freeman is now a Los Angeles legend after the monumental walk-off grand slam in Game 1 of the World Series. Catcher Will Smith made his second All-Star apperance last season.

Clayton Kershaw is recovering from foot and knee surgeries but should be back on the mound towards May. The addition of two-time CY Young winner Blake Snell will significantly bolster the pitching rotation that also includes Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow.

The dynamic Dodgers absolutely have what it takes to get back to the World Series and win it again.

Betting on the Los Angeles Dodgers

Check out below the betting options:

Dodgers Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here’s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Dodgers game:

• New York Yankees (+1.5)
• Los Angeles Dodgers (-1.5)

As shown above, the Dodgers are favored by 1.5 runs against the Yankees; the minus sign (-) indicates Los Angeles is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back Los Angeles here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash the Dodgers would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Yankees +1.5 would win if New York won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

Dodgers Moneylines

Many first time bettors are wary of run line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• New York Yankees +150
• Los Angeles Dodgers -180

Just as with run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is the underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Dodgers, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Yankees would net $150 if they pulled the upset.

Dodgers Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the winner of the contest, but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Dodgers-Yankees matchup was 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored exactly 8 runs between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

Dodgers Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the result of the game. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any style of yes/no question. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Shohei Ohtani over 1.5 hits on a given night, or betting that Clayton Kershaw will strike out over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.

Dodgers Futures

Expectations are very high right now in Los Angeles, so bettors will have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Dodgers futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long term outcomes, like the Dodgers to win the NL West, win the National League Pennant, win the World Series, or even individual awards like winning league MVP.
