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

Calli Varner Profile Picture

The Pittsburgh Pirates' World Series odds have ranked among the longest at PA sportsbooks all season, and as we enter the final stretch, they still hold the longest odds.

Pittsburgh sits last in the NL Central at 57-74. On the bright side, Paul Skenes continues to shine as a rising star, currently holding the best odds to win the NL Cy Young Award. Below you’ll find the Pirates’ odds to reach the 2025 World Series, clinch a playoff berth, and other key MLB futures worth tracking.

Latest Pirates 2025 World Series & Playoff Odds

The Pirates' 2025 season has been disappointing to say the least, and having one of the worst records in the MLB hasn't helped Pittsburgh's playoff odds. Below are Pittsburgh's odds for the 2025 season.

🏆 Win World Series:OTB
🔥 Make World Series:OTB
⭐ Make NLCS:OTB
🍾 Win NL Central Odds:OTB
👍 Make MLB Playoffs:OTB
👎 Miss MLB Playoffs:OTB
⚾ Paul Skenes NL Cy Young Odds:-300 (75% chance)
✅ Pirates O/U Regular Season Win Total66.5 (-106/-110)

With just a month left, the Pirates' odds are off the board. Most sportsbooks have stopped listing odds for the Pirates, who face a steep climb out of the NL Central basement if they want to make a late-season push.

What Are the Pirates' Odds to Win the World Series?

The Pirates' odds to win the World Series are off the board. For reference, the Pirates’ odds to win the title stood at +12000 at the end of Spring Training. However, with one of the worst records in MLB, their odds have steadily trended in the wrong direction all season, leaving the squad as huge underdogs.

When Was the Last Time the Pirates Won the World Series?

You'll have to go back to 1979 to see the last time Pittsburgh won the World Series. Additionally, it was the last time the Pirates made the World Series.

Chances Pittsburgh Pirates Make Playoffs in 2025

The Pirates chances to make the MLB Playoffs in 2025 are off the board. The DraftKings Sportsbook in PA and most other sportsbooks have removed odds for Pittsburgh to reach the postseason.

Pirates NL Central Odds

The Pirates’ odds to win the NL Central are also off the board at most PA sports betting apps.

The Brewers sit atop the division, leading the Cubs by three games, and holds the best odds to win the NL Central. You can see below by claiming a bet365 promo code or the FanDuel PA welcome offer you'll find some more value on the NL Central odds.
