It's June, which means the dog days of summer are almost here. It's a great time to check out the latest World Series odds.

The favourite: Los Angeles Dodgers (+225)

Even in an ultra-deep division, and even with an army of injured pitchers, the Dodgers are still a notable cut above the rest.

As of June 8, the Dodgers have 17 pitchers on the injured list, headlined by Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki. Oh, and Shohei Ohtani hasn't returned to two-way form yet.

If the Dodgers are going to fail in their quest for a championship repeat, injuries still seem like the most logical roadblock. But they're navigating just fine through plenty of bumps and bruises already.

Offensively, Ohtani is at the centre of the Dodgers' success. But the returning depth behind the reigning NL MVP is staggering, too.

Seven of the Dodgers' top eight hitters from last season (in terms of bWAR) are back in the fold.

Entering play on June 8, the Dodgers (38-27) lead the NL West and have a +70 run differential.

Blue Jays World Series odds

The Blue Jays are long shots to win the World Series, but they're heating up as we roll into summer.

Toronto entered action on June 8 with wins in nine of its last 10 games and sitting atop the AL wild-card race.

While Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette continue to be at the forefront of Toronto's success, others have stepped up to support the star duo. George Springer, Addison Barger, Ernie Clement, and Alejandro Kirk are all enjoying quality campaigns.

The team's top-three pitchers, Jose Berrios, Kevin Gausman and Chris Bassitt, have provided steady performances all season long:

PitcherERAFIP
Berrios3.674.41
Gausman3.873.39
Bassitt3.563.44

If Toronto's bats can continue delivering, it appears that the pitching will be there to keep it in most games.

The Blue Jays (35-29) aren't too far off the New York Yankees for first in the AL East, with plenty of season still to play.

World Series notes

  • The Yankees (+475) are surely missing Juan Soto, but the offence hasn't struggled in the early going. Led by two-time (and reigning) MVP Aaron Judge, the Yankees have a superb .807 OPS through 63 games, which paces MLB. On the pitching side, injuries to Gerrit Cole (season-ending) and Luis Gil complicated matters ... but Max Fried and Carlos Rodon are pitching like the aces they've been at previous stops.
  • It's looking like the Tigers' (+650) run to the ALDS last year wasn't a fluke. Detroit has sprung to an MLB-best 42-24 record, and is a team that could be capable of a deep run. Tarik Skubal is as good as any pitcher in the sport, and Detroit's 3.34 bullpen ERA is No. 6 in MLB. Spencer Torkelson continues to flash fantastic power, as his 15 home runs are tied for 11th.
  • The Arizona Diamondbacks (+3,000) were delivered a gut-punching blow with the announcement that Corbin Burnes will be undergoing Tommy John surgery. Burnes, the 2021 Cy Young award winner, had a 2.66 ERA before his injury.
