Arizona Diamondbacks World Series odds
Provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Friday, March 24, at 1:14 a.m. ET.
Odds: +8000 (bet $100 to win $8000)
PASS
Arizona has made strides but are still long shots. Only 6 teams in all of baseball have longer odds than they do to win it all. The favorites are the Houston Astros at +600, while NL West rivals the Los Angeles Dodgers are at +700 along with the New York Mets.
Even optimistic projections have them competing with the San Francisco Giants to be perhaps the 3rd-best team in the NL West.
At +8000, the Diamondbacks have an implied probability of 1.23% to win the World Series or 80/1 fractional odds.

Arizona Diamondbacks playoff odds
Will they make the playoffs: Yes +480| No -699
After winning 74 games in 2022 and with an improved lineup and pitching staff entering 2023, Arizona has a chance to compete for a Wild-Card berth.
The line for a NO wager is of no use and isn’t worth the action and a YES bet only has 17.23% implied odds of happening, but they could be in the mix.
A small YES (+480) wager for Arizona to make the postseason is worth making, which is a nice change from the last few seasons.
Arizona Diamondbacks win total
Over/Under: 74.5 (O: -130 | U: +110)
They won 74 games last season and have a better starting rotation, bullpen and lineup. They have the promise of a potential young star in Carroll and SS Nick Ahmed returns from injury.
They were 40-41 at home and 34-47 on the road. All they have to do is be 1 win better somewhere and they hit the Over.
BET OVER 74.5 WINS (-130).

To win NL West Division
- Los Angeles Dodgers -130 (bet $130 to win $100)
- San Diego Padres +125 (bet $100 to win $125)
- San Francisco Giants +1200 (bet $100 to win $1,200)
- Arizona Diamondbacks +4000 (bet $100 to win $4,000)
- Colorado Rockies +20000 (bet $100 to win $20,000)
Arizona’s implied odds of winning the NL West is 2.44% or 40/1 fractional odds. The Dodgers are not only clear favorites to win the division, they are World Series favorites in the entire MLB.
Arizona will be better, but will not be competing for the division title. They are more likely competing for 3rd place.
PASS.
To win National League
Odds: +4000 (bet $100 to win $4000)
The Diamondbacks have the same odds to make it to the World Series that they do to win the division. Only 4 teams have longer odds. With how they have improved, they will be lucky to get even get into the NLCS. That in itself will be a great accomplishment for this season.
PASS.
