How Juan Soto Signing Impacts Mets Odds to Win World Series, Division

• The New York Mets have +800 odds to win the 2025 MLB World Series after signing Juan Soto.
• Soto agreed to a 15-year, $765 million deal, the biggest contract in North American professional sports history.
• The Mets have +190 odds to win the NL East and +450 odds to win the National League.

NEW YORK – The New York Mets made the biggest splash of the MLB offseason by signing outfielder Juan Soto to the biggest contract in North American professional sports history, but how did it impact their odds? Soto’s signing surged the Mets legal sports betting from +1250 to +800 to win the World Series in 2025.

2025 MLB World Series Odds

• Los Angeles Dodgers +350
• New York Yankees +750
• Atlanta Braves +800
• New York Mets +800
• Philadelphia Phillies +900
• Baltimore Orioles +1200
• Houston Astros +1200
• San Diego Padres +1400
• Cleveland Guardians +2200
• Chicago Cubs +2800

The odds jump is massive for just one player, but the move is also a sign that Steve Cohen is willing to spend all he has to get the Mets a World Series in 2025. That aggressiveness could lead to the resigning of all-star first baseman Pete Alonso and potentially other free agents to help bolster the Mets lineup.

Meanwhile, the Yankees odds to win the World Series have fallen as far as +900 at some legal MLB betting sites following Soto’s departure. Bovada Sportsbook still has them just ahead of the Mets at +750 odds.

NL East Odds Still Favor Braves Over Mets

Even after adding Juan Soto to a talented Mets lineup, the Braves remain the favorites to win the NL East division with +140 odds. The Mets haven’t won the NL East since 2015, where they went on to lose the World Series to the Kansas City Royals.

NL East Winner Odds

• Atlanta Braves +140
• New York Mets +190
• Philadelphia Phillies +190
• Washington Nationals +10000
• Miami Marlins +12500

The race to win the National League Pennant is also a tough one, but the Mets only trail the Los Angeles Dodgers (+200) and the Braves (+425). New York has +450 odds to win the National League and have a shot at the World Series in 2025.

MLB 2025 National League Winner Odds

• Los Angeles Dodgers +200
• Atlanta Braves +425
• New York Mets +450
• Philadelphia Phillies +525
• San Diego Padres +675
• Chicago Cubs +1800

In 2024 the Mets fell to the Dodgers in the NLCS, so sportsbooks may believe Juan Soto is the missing piece for New York. The Dodgers are strong favorites to repeat as NL champions at +200 odds.
