2024 World Series odds: Dodgers finally getting healthy, Astros heating up
MLB has resumed play after the All-Star break, and the season's second half is going to be contentious.
As teams jostle for seats at the postseason table, this is the perfect time to take a look at the latest World Series odds.
Which team is favored to win it all?
Injuries have been a major thorn in the Dodgers side this season, but help is on the way.
Although injured pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto revealed that he doesn't have a set timetable to get back on the mound, Jason Heyward, Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw are back this week, with the latter two expected to provide a much-needed boost to the starting pitching.
Although they only have four wins in their last 10 games, Los Angeles remains the odds-on favorite to win the World Series at +330.

* odds as of 7/22/24
FOX Sports MLB writer Deesha Thosar expects nothing but greatness from Kershaw when he takes the mound.
"Given the lack of cohesion in the Dodgers' rotation of late, it will be imperative for Kershaw to return to form and bring some stability," she wrote. "Fortunately for L.A., its longtime ace has excelled in the face of injuries."
"Since 2018, Kershaw has dealt with at least one significant injury each year — and still managed to post a 2.77 ERA and 1.01 WHIP over that six-year stretch. Why should this season be any different? Expect Kershaw to be dominant when he returns from injury this year, too."
Meanwhile, the Houston Astros odds shortened slightly this week to +1300 from +1500 as they enter into the top seven teams on the oddsboard.

Thosar explains that although the Astros' hitting has been much improved recently, they will need the injured Kyle Tucker to come back in prime form for Houston to make a legitimate title run.
"Fortunately for Houston, the rest of the offense in recent weeks has started hitting again, and it's helped the club become a threat to win the AL West again," she explained.
"Tucker's rehab is interesting in that he's not progressing as quickly as the Astros had originally hoped, and his timeline to return is still unclear. The outfielder is a significant part of Houston's offense, and the club will ultimately need him back and producing the way he was to be a title contender."
