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. <\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a look at five of the favorites that could break through this upcoming season, and five teams installed at longer odds that could offer up some serious value.<\/p>\n
Detroit Tigers +850<\/strong><\/p>\n Even with the departure of Doug Fister, the Tigers will still send out one of the best starting rotations in the American League, and they\u2019ve finally shored up the back end of their bullpen with the addition of Joe Nathan. Rajai Davis is an addition that won\u2019t draw of a lot of headlines but will really help on the field.<\/p>\n Miguel Cabrera will be without his \u2018Bash Brother\u2019 this season, but expect the Tigers\u2019 offense to keep on rolling.<\/p>\n New York Yankees +1400<\/strong><\/p>\n Fresh off missing the playoffs last season, the Yankees of course made some significant splashes, adding free agents Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Beltran, and Masahiro Tanaka. Lesser adds like Kelly Johnson, Brian Roberts, Brendan Ryan, and Matt Thornton will also help to turn things around in a hurry for the Yankees.<\/p>\n The return of Michael Pineda could also prove to be a difference-maker at the back end of the team\u2019s rotation. The Rangers know they play in one of the most home run friendly ballparks in the majors and made some additions in the offseason that will help them continue to offer fans in the outfield seats with a steady stream of souvenirs. Prince Fielder and J.P. Arencibia should put up solid home run numbers, while Shin-Soo Choo would be a great addition to any team.<\/p>\n The addition of Daniel Bard and Rafael Perez will offer much-needed bullpen depth.<\/p>\n Cincinnati Reds +1800<\/strong><\/p>\n The Reds could have been something special over the last few years if they just stayed out of their own way. A managerial change has been needed and it finally came in the offseason, though it would have been nice to see them go outside the organization.<\/p>\n Still, all the pieces are in place, so if the right buttons are pushed at the right times, the Reds could finally break through.<\/p>\n San Francisco Giants +1800<\/strong><\/p>\n Not a lot of changes in San Francisco, though additions like Tim Hudson and David Huff will help keep runs off the board. The team\u2019s troubles have been with respect to scoring runs and the addition of Michael Morse will help there.<\/p>\n With a winning pedigree, San Francisco could make some noise this season.<\/p>\n Toronto Blue Jays +2800<\/strong><\/p>\n It would have been nice to see the team follow up the momentum they built last offseason with some significant moves this year. Swapping out J.P. Arencibia for Dioner Navarro seems like a lateral move, though there is still time to go after a guy like Ubaldo Jimenez or Ervin Santana. The team can put runs up on the board, and could offer value as a post-hype sleeper this season.<\/p>\n Baltimore Orioles +3300<\/strong><\/p>\n The Orioles have had trouble keeping runs off the board in recent years, and shipping Jim Johnson out of town is only going to hurt that cause.<\/p>\n Adding A.J. Burnett would be a great boon to the organization, though they need to stop searching for innings-eaters and start finding pitchers that can get guys out and win them games when their offense doesn\u2019t show up.<\/p>\n Kansas City Royals +3300<\/strong><\/p>\n The Royals loosened the purse strings this offseason with the additions of Jason Vargas and Omar Infante. Adding Norichika Aoki was a shrewd move as well. There is plenty of talent on the roster, but most of the team\u2019s key players haven\u2019t reached their primes yet.<\/p>\n Once they figure things out, the Royals will go back to being a power in the American League.<\/p>\n Arizona Diamondbacks +4000<\/strong><\/p>\n Adding Mark Trumbo is going to add some lineup protection for Paul Goldschmidt that just wasn\u2019t there before, and could take the Arizona offense to another level. The addition of Addison Reed will help the back end of the team\u2019s bullpen as close games are a staple of N.L. West play.<\/p>\n Milwaukee Brewers +5000<\/strong><\/p>\n Matt Garza helps solidify a rotation that\u2019s better than many people think, and the additions of Lyle Overbay and Mark Reynolds help to bring some veteran leadership to a young lineup.<\/p>\n An overlooked boon to the team\u2019s lineup is the return of Ryan Braun who was playing like his old self before sitting down last season.<\/p>\n Atlanta Braves +1800<\/p>\n Boston Red Sox +1000 MLB Betting \u2013 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.
