Ahead of the 2023 Major League Baseball (MLB) season, the Houston Astros are favored to achieve the best regular season record, having clinched the World Series title in 2022.

That said, the Los Angeles Dodgers posted the best regular season record last year, while teams like the New York Mets, New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves are also expected to enjoy strong campaigns in 2023.

Top Contenders for the Best Regular Season Record in MLB 2023

Houston Astros (+500)

Prior to becoming the 2022 World Series champions, the Houston Astros won 106 of their 162 regular-season games – notching a winning percentage of .654. Having won five of the last six American League West titles, the Astros look destined to enjoy another successful campaign.

New York Mets (+550)

Remarkably, the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves registered identical regular season records last year. Both sides finished with a record of 101-61 (.623) in the National League East, so the Mets will fancy their chances of going one better in 2023.

New York Yankees (+550)

The New York Yankees finished atop the American League East last year, posting a record of 99-63 (.611). Although four teams notched a better record than the Yankees last season, they could dominate in 2023 with AL MVP Aaron Judge leading the charge.

Los Angeles Dodgers (+600)

The Los Angeles Dodgers achieved the best regular season record in 2022 (0.685), winning 111 of their 162 games to finish miles clear at the summit of the National League West. Having claimed nine of the previous 10 division titles, the Dodgers could emulate last season’s record in 2023.

Atlanta Braves (+600)

Posting a win percentage of .623, the Atlanta Braves finished joint-top of the NL East last year – meaning they have topped the division in each of the last five seasons. Naturally, the 2021 World Series champs have what it takes to register the best regular season record in 2023.

Sleepers for the Best Regular Season Record in MLB 2023

St. Louis Cardinals (+1500)

Not only have the St. Louis Cardinals won two of the last four National League Central titles, but they have also won five of the previous 10. Granted, Yadier Molina has retired, but Willson Contreras could fire the Cards to glory this year.

Cleveland Guardians (+3000)

Fresh from clinching their fourth American League Central crown in seven seasons, the Cleveland Guardians could upset the 2023 MLB odds when it comes to the best regular season record market. After all, the signings of Mike Zunino and Josh Bell will only make them stronger this year.

2023 MLB Best Regular Season Record Predictions

Best Bet: Los Angeles Dodgers (+600)

I’m backing the Los Angeles Dodgers to post the best regular season record for the second successive year. They could find it difficult to finish with a win percentage as high as .685 again, but they might not have to reach those heights to achieve the best record.

Yes, the Houston Astros are the bookies favorites, but they could face stiff competition from the improved Seattle Mariners in the AL West. Since the Dodgers are comfortably the strongest team in the NL West, I can see them dominating once again in 2023.
