Opening odds for Dodgers vs. Phillies 2025 NLDS Series

By: Ciaran Doyle

The Phillies and Dodgers will face off in a mouthwatering NLDS matchup. Los Angeles easily dispatched the Reds in the Wild Card round, but will now have their hands full against the second seed in the National League.

The Dodgers (+320) and Phillies (+475) have the two lowest odds to win the World Series on DraftKings Sportsbook, so to say this series is important would be an understatement.

Despite coming into this series as the lower seed, the Dodgers are slight favorites to advance to the NLCS on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Game 1 is slated for Saturday in Philadelphia. Shohei Ohtani will get his first career postseason pitching start for the Dodgers, while Cristopher Sanchez will be on the mound for the home team. The run total is set at O/U 7.5.

In terms of other available odds for the series, the over/under for total games is listed at 4.5. The under is the favorite at -180, while over 4.5 games is available at +150.

We also have series spread odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook, with the Dodgers -1.5 games listed at +150. Fancy a dominant Phillies upset? Philadelphia -1.5 games is available at +260.

These are just a few of the available markets for this pivotal NLDS series. The action gets started on Saturday and one of these teams will likely find themselves as big favorites in the NLCS, no matter which team they face.
