Dodgers lead 2025 World Series odds, bolstered by new players, while Caribbean Series showcases top Latin teams.

Los Angeles Dodgers are emerging as the frontrunners for the 2025 World Series, boasting a 24.3% chance of clinching the title, according to FanGraphs projections. The team has bolstered its roster with significant acquisitions, including Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki, positioning themselves as the top contenders in the National League West and across Major League Baseball.

In the National League East, the Atlanta Braves hold the highest World Series odds at 14.9%, while the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets trail with 5.3% and 3.4% respectively. The Mets made headlines with their offseason move to acquire Juan Soto, but it remains to be seen if this will elevate their chances significantly.

The Chicago Cubs are also in the mix, emerging as the leading contenders in the National League Central after securing Kyle Tucker, giving them a 2.8% chance of winning the World Series.

On the stadium front, the Milwaukee Brewers are making changes to American Family Field, sectioning off 1,600 seats in the right field terrace level to expand their baseball operations offices. This adjustment will reduce the ballpark`s seating capacity to 41,900 for the 2025 season, with completion expected by August or September.

Internationally, the Caribbean Series 2025 is underway, showcasing champion teams from Latin American winter leagues. Mexico currently leads the standings with a perfect 4-0 record, followed by the Dominican Republic at 2-1. The semifinals are set for February 5, with both Mexico and the Dominican Republic as strong contenders.

Steamer projections for the upcoming season hint at potential historic performances, with Paul Skenes aiming to match Doc Gooden`s rookie season records and Bobby Witt Jr. targeting his third consecutive 30-30 season.
