2015 NL Pennant Race
Spring training is well under way in Florida and Arizona – baseball is officially back baby and so is the prognostication of what might happen in both the American and National Leagues.
2014 AL Pennant Race
Baseball season is just about upon us, and the junior circuit appears to be fairly wide open, which is going to make for an interesting run towards the American League Pennant. Here is a look at a favorite, a mid-level contender, and a longshot to break through and finish atop the American League this season.
2014 NL Pennant Race
The National League lost the World Series last year with Boston defeating St. Louis. The AL got most the attention in the offseason with the Yankees paying big sums to reload and big trades like the one that moved Prince Fielder down to Texas.
MLB Betting – World Series Futures Update
Many pitchers and catchers will report to their respective teams in just under two weeks as the 2014 MLB seasons nears ever closer. The rosters for most teams have taken shape, though a few significant free agents still remain on the market.

Handicapping 2012 World Series Betting Odds
The Cardinals won the World Series last season, but with Pujols gone it will be tough to repeat and the Phillies, Yankees, and Pujols’ new team of the Angels have the best odds to win the World Series this season.
MLB Betting – World Series Futures Update
Spring Training has begun! Can you feel the excitement in the air? Or is it just the winter nip that still grips most of our fine continent? It is time to look into the crystal ball and to predict who among the 32 MLB teams will be the last one standing in October.
MLB Betting – World Series Futures Update
You could argue that right now is the best possible time to make your World Series futures bet. Enough of the season has passed that you have a strong sense of each team’s identity. But there’s also just enough time left in the season that a team or two could still be undervalued.

MLB 2011 Predictions + Future Baseball Odds
1. New York Yankees (+400)
Would it be crazy to call this a fool’s bet? Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, and Andy Pettitte are getting long in the tooth. Then again, Mark Teixeira, Robinson Cano and C.C. Sabathia are still studs in their prime. And these odds reflect the likelihood of Cliff Lee wearing pinstripes next season.
2. Philadelphia Phillies (+600)
Even with Jayson Werth all but gone, the Phillies are as talent-rich as any team in baseball. Chase Utley is really due for a bounce-back year and Domonic Brown could be an impact player immediately as Werth’s replacement. And don’t forget about that guy named Halladay, who threw two no-hitters in 2010.
3. Boston Red Sox (+700)
Oddsmakers seem to believe Boston’s luck will be better next season; it’s true that they should improve if Kevin Youkilis and Dustin Pedroia avoid the injury bug this time. Clay Buchholz has also really stepped up to form a powerhouse pitching tandem with Jon Lester. But the BoSox should and will still be busy in free agency.
4. San Francisco Giants (+1000)
The champs’ amazing pitching should keep them very competitive again this year but, unless they acquire one or two big bats this offseason, it’ll be hard to see them going all the way again. Don’t forget, they qualified for the playoffs on the last day of the regular season.
5. Texas Rangers (+1200)
Even if the Rangers lose Cliff Lee and Vlad Guerrero, they still have a solid young core that really learned to play a complete game under Ron Washington instead of only swinging for the fences. Texas will be the frontrunner to win the American League West next year.
6. Tampa Bay Rays (+1200)
In theory, the Rays should be dominant again. Evan Longoria paces their offense and they have a deep, young pitching staff that keeps getting better. But what will happen if they lose Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena and Rafael Soriano to free agency? 
7. St. Louis Cardinals (+1500)
Because of Albert Pujols, Adam Wainwright, Matt Holiday and Chris Carpenter alone, we can’t count the Cards out for next season. It would help if they added a bit of offensive depth, though.
8. Minnesota Twins (+1600)
Given how consistently competitive they are, I like the Twins as a pretty decent value play for 2011. Joe Mauer should get a bit of power back, Justin Morneau should return healthy, and Delmon Young does have the pedigree to maintain the lofty standard he set in 2010.
9. Cincinnati Reds (+1600)
The Reds aren’t going anywhere as NL contenders. They have a solid young offensive nucleus led by 2010 MVP frontrunner Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips and Jay Bruce. The key for Cincinnati’s growth will be whether or not young pitchers like Aroldis Chapman and Mike Leake keep growing next year.
10. Colorado Rockies (+1800)
The Rockies are another team that could bounce back next year on talent alone. Any team would kill to have Carlos Gonzalez, Troy Tulowitzki and Ubaldo Jimenez for its core. The Rockies aren’t a sure thing, however; they lack depth in both pitching and hitting.
11. Atlanta Braves (+2000)
After they returned to the playoffs this season, I’m surprised to see Atlanta this low. Are the Braves not a top-five contender for next year? Jason Heyward will only get better and their rotation remains strong, with vets like Tim Hudson providing ample support for budding ace Tommy Hanson.
12. Los Angeles Angels (+2000)
This veteran team has the depth to rebound in 2010. The Giants showed that pitching wins championships and you could do a lot worse than the Angels’ rotation of Jered Weaver, Dan Haren, Ervin Santana, Scott Kazmir and Joel Pineiro.
13. San Diego Padres (+2000)
The Padres did show promise on the pitching side with Mat Latos and Clayton Richard breaking out. But can they score enough to contend? I’m skeptical.
14. Chicago White Sox (+2500)
Here’s another team with decent sleeper potential. Any team with as much pitching depth as the White Sox has to have a chance. But they still have an uphill climb replacing Paul Konerko’s production at first. It would go a long way if Gordon Beckham could finally put it all together.
15. Los Angeles Dodgers (+2500)
With Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley and Ted Lilly atop their rotation, the Dodgers should be hard to score on. But what about their offense? Andre Ethier is great but Matt Kemp may have a new team by Opening Day.
