World Series, NL pennant and NL West Championship odds have been set for the 2019 Arizona Diamondbacks, along with their over/under win total and odds to make the playoffs.

The D-backs numbers, compiled along with all 30 MLB teams on ESPN.com, look mostly bleak.

Pegged at 80-1 to win the World Series and 40-1 to win the NL pennant, Arizona ranks as the 20th most likely team with win the World Series and has 10 teams in the NL rated as more likely to win the pennant.

The D-backs odds of 25-1 to win the NL West is fourth-best, ahead of only the San Francisco Giants at 50-1.

Last season, Arizona finished third place in the division behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies. Both teams, along with the San Diego Padres who recently acquired infielder Manny Machado through free agency, have better odds to win the division.

After winning 82 games last season, the D-backs over/under win total was set at 74.5. The last time Arizona finished with under 74 wins was in 2016 when they finished with 69 wins and fourth place in the NL West.

Their odds to make the playoffs were set at 6-1, while if you want to bet on the D-backs to miss the playoffs, you would have to bet $900 to win $100.
