Minnesota Twins Early World Series Betting Odds

The Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up the 2024 Major League Baseball World Series in convincing fashion. It only took one season for Shohei Ohtani to get Dave Roberts another ring, and he couldn’t even pitch.

Unfortunately, the Minnesota Twins didn’t make the 2024 MLB Postseason, but the organization is trying to sell hopes of a quick reset. Are the sportsbooks buying? Let’s find out what they think, now that 2024 has officially come to an end.

Surprising odds favor Twins among AL Central

Rocco Baldelli is expected to have a very similar core returning for the 2025 Major League Baseball season. The late year fade was unfortunate, but the sportsbooks seem to think that Minnesota should again contend for the top of the American League Central Division. BetOnline.com even has the Twins as the most likely to win the World Series from the AL Central.

This offseason is a big one for the Twins. The front office shouldn’t have to deal with a decreasing payroll, but at the current amount, it will be difficult to add. Derek Falvey must get creative to infuse the roster with talent. There will need to be an influx of prospect talent that can come to the big league level and compete immediately as well.

Minnesota isn’t going to add any substantial free agents, and they shouldn’t be expected to spend with the Dodgers or New York Mets. How they go about increasing their World Series chances remains to be seen. If they can get into the postseason this time around though, they’ll at least give themselves a chance.

Where will Twins’ odds stand after the offseason?

Dropping money on longshot World Series odds before the offseason even starts is a leap of faith, maybe even a sign of degeneracy. The top teams in the American League Central Division have plenty of questions to answer, and their decisions will all impact season projections.

It’s at least a little bit curious the sportsbooks see Cleveland as the top competition in the division and simply exclude the Kansas City Royals. Minnesota fell behind both last season, and each organization gave their youth exposure to the postseason. The Twins could easily leap back in front of both, but that not being reflected at this juncture is odd.

While ownership explores a sale of the team, the front office will seek to improve it. The Twins haven’t won a World Series for decades, and putting an end to the drought is more than welcomed.
