MLB futures: Here's how Ohtani, Soto moves impacted odds for teams other than their own

Of course, Ohtani's decision to sign with L.A. impacted the odds for the suitors he didn't sign with, most notably the Toronto Blue Jays. The Canadian squad was listed at +1000 (10-1) to win the Fall Classic while they were in the running to land the Japanese phenom, but those odds lengthened to +1500 (15-1) after a chaotic few days of rumors ended with Toronto no longer being a potential destination.

One of Ohtani's former suitors, the San Francisco Giants, is also lingering with long odds after not signing the superstar. The Orange and Black haven't been successful in recent years when it comes to signing big-name players, missing out on both Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa in recent history. Without Ohtani to potentially boost their odds, San Francisco is listed as a 35-1 long shot to win any postseason hardware. 

Another team listed at 35-1 is the same Padres team who just bid farewell to Soto. San Diego added some pitching depth in the trade but will need to keep making moves if they want to have a shot at making a World Series run. Soto was a major asset in San Diego's outfield and the Padres are further depleted since two-time Gold Glove winner Trent Grisham was also sent to New York. It's worth it to keep an eye on San Diego's odds since it's likely they could shorten if the team adds outfield help to its roster.

There is one team that still has favorable odds to win the World Series despite not previously being in the running for Ohtani or Soto: the Atlanta Braves. Sure, the Dodgers leapfrogged the Braves in the listed odds. But the 2021 World Series winners are still listed quite favorably at 7-1 and are expected to be very competitive when the season finally opens up next spring. 

Other teams holding on with favorable odds following the Ohtani and Soto moves include the Houston Astros (10-1), reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers (11-1) and the Philadelphia Phillies (11-1).
