Pittsburgh Pirates 2025 World Series & Playoff Odds: Can the Pirates Win the World Series?

Calli Varner Profile Picture

The Pittsburgh Pirates' World Series odds are about as long as we get at the start of the 2025 season. Most PA sportsbooks have the Pirates longshots to make the playoffs, too.

The Pirates start the 2025 season with a 5-11 record and last in the NL Central. The slow start could be due to Pittsburgh's injury issues. The Pirates have placed several players on the injured list at the start of the season, shaking up their lineup. Below you'll find Pirates odds to make the World Series in 2025, clinch a playoff berth, and more.
