Who Will Win the NL Pennant in 2026?
According to the initial MLB postseason odds, the Dodgers begin as the betting favorites to win the NL pennant in 2026. Their +175 odds translate to an implied probability of 36.36%.
Los Angeles started as a +200 favorite when this market opened in late October last year. The Dodgers then spent much of the year atop this market, relinquishing the top spot only briefly in the final week of the regular season. The Philadelphia Phillies were the front-runners until the Dodgers got through the NL Wild Card round.
That’s what makes this market especially tough, as Los Angeles has proven it can still win the pennant without getting the bye. If the Dodgers have more regular-season success in 2026, earning one of the top two seeds in the NL, they will likely remain the favorites until they face a series deficit in the postseason.
Los Angeles was +200 or better in this market throughout the regular season in 2025. The best price the Dodgers ever had to win the NL was +300 entering the Wild Card round. Don’t be surprised if the 2026 campaign is much of the same.
