How To Find The Best Betting Value In Updated MLB Future Odds & Props
The shortened MLB regular season is flying by. Teams are deep into the second half of the 60-game schedule. The trade deadline just passed. Now is the time to focus on betting opportunities for MLB futures.
Where Can I Find The Best Betting Value in Updated MLB Future Odds?
Top-rated online sportsbooks such as SportsBetting.ag have recently updated all of their MLB futures odds. The odds reflect both the action on the field and money coming in from the betting public.
Going through the various options, MLB futures bets cover the odds for:
- Winning the 2020 World Series
- Odds To Win the American League Pennant
- Winning the National League Pennant
- Odds To Win the 3 AL Division Titles
- Winning the 3 NL Division Titles
At this point of the season, there is a clear distinction between the best teams in the Majors and the ones that are already riding out the string.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have best lived up to their lofty expectations. They have won 27 of their first 37 games to build a solid five-game lead in the NL West standings. There are no signs of letting up with eight wins over their last 10 games.
Looking at the MLB futures odds for this team, there is still some solid value on the board at BetOnline. You can get the Dodgers at +150 odds to win the NL Pennant. Their betting odds to finally break through with a World Series title are +350.
The team with the best record in the American League is one of the bigger surprises this year. The Tampa Bay Rays have carved out a 25-12 record in 37 games. They hold a 3.5-game lead over the New York Yankees in the AL East.
New York is still a +260 favorite to win the AL Pennant. However, the value bet could be the Rays at +400. The Oakland Athletics are setting the pace in the AL West at 22-12 through 34 games. Their odds to win the league pennant are also set at +400.
All three of these teams have a 99 percent chance to make the playoffs according to ESPN stats. Tampa Bay still gets the nod when it comes to betting value in the AL Pennant race.
Some of the best betting value can be found in a few of the tightest division title races. Four teams in the AL Central are separated in the standings by just 3.5 games.
The longshot at +15000 would be the Detroit Tigers. They have now won eight of their last 10 games to move to 17-16 on the year. If you are going to take a flyer on a division title run, Detroit fits the bill. Cleveland is the favorite at +140. Both the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins are listed as +175 second-favorites.
Another tight division race is the NL East. The top three teams are within three games of one another. The Atlanta Braves (21-14) have the inside track as heavy -250 favorites. However, you can get Philadelphia at +600 and Miami at +800 as two more longshot plays.
