Odds via theScore Bet. Teams priced above +4000 aren't listed.
The Blue Jays were initially priced at +3500 to land Ohtani, but consistent rumblings about their interest have drastically shortened their odds.
Like Toronto, the Cubs' odds have also plummeted. They opened at +5000 but are now +500 and considered serious contenders.
Both the Yankees and the Mets opened at +700, but the betting market wasn't buying Ohtani to New York. As a result, both teams' odds have drifted.
The Dodgers have remained the favorite since this market opened.
