- The Astros are -110 preseason favorites to win their division.
- Houston has won the AL West in five of the last six years.
While the Houston Astros had to watch a division rival win last yearโs World Series, this franchise has enjoyed plenty of recent postseason success.
Houston has made the playoffs in seven straight seasons, reaching at least the ALCS seven times. Over that span, the Astros have won two World Series rings and four American League pennants.ย
Needless to say, Major League Baseball odds expect Houston to remain one of the top contenders in 2024.
Astros Futures Odds
Win Total: 92.5
AL West: -110
AL Pennant: +360
World Series: +800
During this seven-year run, the Astros have traded +1000 or shorter to win the World Series five times in the preseason.ย
The longest odds they have had to win it all at any point since 2017 have been +2200, which occurred in the preseason before the 2021 campaign. They lost in the World Series that year.
Houstonโs win total has been in the 90s in five of the last six full seasons, not counting the COVID-shortened campaign in 2020.ย
Astrosโ recent win totals:
- 2023: 95.5 (90 wins)
- 2022: 91.5 (106 wins)
- 2021: 87.5 (95 wins)
- 2019: 96.5 (107 wins)
- 2018: 97.5 (103 wins)
- 2017: 90.5 (101 wins)

Hader and the Astros agreed to a hefty five-year, $95 million deal in January. The signing secured the back end of Houstonโs bullpen, with Hader serving as the closer and Ryan Pressly moving back to the setup role.
Hader has spent seven years in the majors, recording 165 saves and a 2.50 ERA in 349 appearances. Last year, he registered 33 saves and a 1.28 ERA with the San Diego Padres.
With the addition of Hader, the Astros have one of the best bullpens in the league.
Astros 2024 Betting Prediction
Prediction: Astros to win AL West (+115)
Houston’s odds to win the division have gone from +115 to -110 since this MLB betting pick was made.
There isnโt much value on a team that has averaged 100 wins over the last six full campaigns. The Astros will be an MLB playoff odds favorite all season.
Yordan รlvarez is a 2024 AL MVP odds favorite at +900, but winning as a designated hitter is difficult. His +1400 odds to lead the league in home runs are much more appealing.
But betting on Houston to win the AL West has been reliable in recent years. The Astros have won six of the last seven division crowns, with the lone exception being a 60-game season.
PECOTA gives Houston a 77.2% chance of winning the division, meaning this price is worth scooping up before the season.
