Kike Hernández knows what it’ll take for the Los Angeles Dodgers to win another World Series.

The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their 12th NL West Division title in 13 seasons with a win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, Sept. 25.

The Los Angeles Dodgers officially clinched the NL West on Thursday with a dominant 8–0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, marking their 12th division title in 13 seasons. The D

The Dodgers clinched a playoff berth last week, joining a bracket that now includes the Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies, and San Diego Padres. Those same Padres put up a valiant effort in the division race but were unable to complete the job and are instead likely to finish the season as the second wild card out of the National League.

As of Sept. 24, the Phillies had the best odds of winning the World Series. BetMGM had them listed at +425 ahead of the Dodgers (+500), Mariners (+550) and the Brewers and Yankees (+750). There is a ton to like about the Phillies’ chances, starting with their powerful lineup, their extraordinary rotation and their impressive bullpen.

The Philadelphia Phillies have overtaken the Los Angeles Dodgers as the betting favorites to win the 2025 World Series. It marks the first time since the market was released last October that someone other than the Dodgers is favored to win it all.

While Los Angeles has assembled an incredible team for the 2025 MLB season, these four Dodgers will make or break their World Series chances.
