Occam's razor says:

"entities should not be multiplied beyond necessity."

So I'd say Occam's Razor favors the multiverse, as it removes the entity of a creator.

The popular interpretation of OR is that the simpler explanation is usually the right one. In this case, the multiverse wins again because the Creator theory requires not just the existence of a vastly complex universe, but also the existence of an even-more-complex Creator, capable of creating the vastly complex universe.
