Can the Red Sox Make the Playoffs?

Yes, the Red Sox can make the playoffs, especially if they can keep their current form. Thanks to the rest of the AL East slumping and the BoSox in the midst of a hot streak, the Red Sox playoff odds are at their most favorable point of the season. Just two weeks ago, Boston was on the outside looking in in terms of the postseason. Today, the Red Sox are moderate favorites to make the playoffs at -270 odds.

What Are the Red Sox Playoff Odds?

The latest Red Sox playoff odds are -270 according to DraftKings. This puts the Red Sox's 2025 playoff chances at 73% using implied probability. The Red Sox odds to make the playoffs have seen a dramatic shift since leading up to the All-Star break, when they were listed at +270 (27% chance).

What are the Red Sox World Series Odds?

Currently, the Red Sox odds to win the World Series are +2800 or shorter across all betting sites like Caesars MA. Compared to the MLB as a whole, the Red Sox are outside of the top ten teams with the shortest odds to win the World Series, though their odds have improved in recent weeks.


What are the Red Sox Odds to Win the American League?

The Red Sox American League odds are +1100, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. This gives Boston the sixth-shortest odds across the entire AL. Boston has an 18.2% chance of making it to the ALCS based on +450 odds at DraftKings.


What are the Boston Red Sox AL East Odds?

The Red Sox odds to win the AL East are +900, giving them the third-longest AL East odds. Although Boston's AL odds have dramatically improved from +3600 several weeks ago, the BoSox still trail the Blue Jays (-295) and Yankees (+300).
