Who are the Little League World Series Favorites in 2023? Best teams, possible winners, and more

The 2023 Little League World Series has become the talk of the town this month. As we enter the final stretch of the tournament, we have 10 regional champions from the United States and 10 regional champions from across the world ready to compete for the top prize.

However, only one team will walk away with the Little League crown on Sunday, August 27. The Championship game will feature the winner of the United States bracket facing off against their international counterpart.

Interestingly, the last four Little League World Series titles have been won by teams in the US, barring the 2020 season, which was canceled due to COVID.

This year, Southern California looks like the favorite to win the tournament because El Segundo has a few quality pitchers in its ranks. Having a strong defense should get them across the line in most of their games.

Meanwhile, Pabao Little League from Willemstad, Curacao, looks like one of the few international teams that can make it to the final. Incidentally, Pabao reached the final last year but lost to Honolulu. It's safe to say they'll be eager to go one step forward and win the crown this year.
