Top 10 Oldest MLB Rosters For 2025 Season
After a run of meteoric regular-season conquests and bitter playoff disappointments in the past couple of years, the Baltimore Orioles will try to achieve more in October, which would reward Maryland sports betting backers in 2025. The Orioles have an eye toward bringing home the first World Series title to the Charm City since 1983.
BetMaryland.com was curious which teams have the oldest rosters in MLB heading into Friday's Opening Day. Using the 26-man rosters on FanGraphs.com, listed as of March 26 (the day before Opening Day), we calculated the average age for each team and ranked the top 10 oldest teams.
Top 10 Oldest MLB Rosters For 2025 Season
Rank | Team | Total Score |
1 | Los Angeles Dodgers | 31.51 |
2 | San Diego Padres | 30.84 |
3 | Texas Rangers | 30.70 |
4 | Chicago Cubs | 30.63 |
5 | Toronto Blue Jays | 30.57 |
6 | Philadelphia Phillies | 30.20 |
7 | Kansas City Royals | 30.08 |
8 | Baltimore Orioles | 30.03 |
9 | New York Yankees | 29.96 |
10 | New York Mets | 29.90 |
This analysis is from BetMaryland.com, the place for real money Maryland sports betting promo codes.
In the past two seasons, Baltimore has gone from American League East laughingstock to juggernaut, winning 192 games and finishing atop the division in 2023 before placing three games behind the New York Yankees in 2024. But the Orioles’ magic has run dry in the playoffs.
This story has been updated. The data above reflects 26-man rosters at FanGraphs.com that were on the site as of March 26, the day before Opening Day.
O’s Among MLB’s Oldest Clubs in 2025
You can keep up with Baltimore Orioles World Series odds all season at BetMayland.com.
With an average age of 30.03 years, Baltimore now ranks as the eighth oldest roster in the 30-team MLB. According to our research, the eldest team in the league is the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, who average 31.51 years as of March 26.
The next teams relying more than average on veterans are the San Diego Padres (30.84 average age), Texas Rangers (30.70), Chicago Cubs (30.63) and Toronto Blue Jays (30.57).
Luckily for O’s fans, oddsmakers from DraftKings Sportsbook Maryland are still flying high on Baltimore’s chances in the year ahead. The operator lists -150 odds of the team making the playoffs for a third straight season in 2025, to go with a preseason win total over/under of 87.5 (at -120 odds on the over, +100 on the under) as the 162-game regular season looms.
