MLB Odds: Contenders with Plenty to Prove Square off When Tigers Host Red Sox

Any time the reigning World Series champions take on an MLB odds
powerhouse, the baseball betting community takes notice, but don’t think
that the Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers don’t still have plenty to
prove in 2014. In fact, if they don’t start proving their worth soon,
we’ll be left wondering if they ever will.

Below .500 and hard pressed to win their division, the Red Sox will
hope for a strong showing on the road at Comerica Park. The AL East is
as competitive as ever with the Blue Jays suddenly living up to
expectations, the O’s enjoying the proceeds of their star-studded lineup
and the Yankees bouncing back after a disappointing 2013.


Boston holds just +500 odds of winning the AL East and 25/1 odds on the World Series futures.


The Tigers, in contrast, have fared well enough in their division –
an admittedly watered down AL Central – but also haven’t left much of an
impression thus far in 2014. Although Miguel Cabrera has returned to
form after a slow start, his team has dropped out of the top spot in the
sportsbook.


Now with third-ranked 7/1 odds of winning the World Series, Detroit
will look to start making critics believe that this is the year they
finally put it all together. It won’t be easy, but it could start this
weekend.

MLB Odds: Dodgers, Tigers Center Stage as 2014 Campaign Approaches

After an official opening series in Sydney, Australia last week,
Major League Baseball is set to begin in earnest on Monday, the long,
boring offseason finally giving way to another spring of action. Given
the abundance of options at the top of the league totem pole, betting on
MLB out of the gates has never looked more appealing.





Bet on Major League Baseball at Bovada and get a free 50% bonus.





While the Boston Red Sox will flaunt their most recent display of
championship hardware over the course of the 2014 campaign, they have
just 12/1 odds of winning the World Series (fifth in baseball) and +220
MLB odds of winning the AL East division.





The Los Angeles Dodgers, in contrast, top the World Series futures
with 13/2 odds and even have -200 odds of winning the respectably
competitive NL West. Ace Clayton Kershaw?s 1.83 ERA and 232 in 33
contests last season were enough to land him a $215 million contract
extension, but will it help his squad in the win column?





The club deemed most likely to prevail in their division, the Detroit
Tigers, have -225 odds of winning the AL Central and 9/1 odds of going
all the way. Still, with a new head coach and some turnover in their
infield, there are no guarantees.





Will 2014 go down as the year of the heavyweights with a select few
powerhouse contenders competing for the pennants? Don?t overlook the
rest of the field, as sometimes it?s the underdogs who stand out as the
most intriguing MLB betting options.

Bettor Support vs. Experience on Display as Tigers Host Angels

The Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels are in similar positions at this point in the season, which makes their upcoming four-game set particularly significant when it comes to MLB betting.

Both franchises had lofty but reasonable expectations heading into the campaign and currently sit at or near the top of their respective divisions within striking distance of a spot in the postseason this fall.

The differences between the two stem from how much confidence oddsmakers seem to have in their ability to contend for the World Series.

According to Bodog?s online sportsbook, the Detroit Tigers have 20/1 odds of winning the World Series. The Angels sit behind at 35/1 odds on the MLB futures board, despite the fact that it has been they, and not the Tigers, who have made the postseason in six of the past nine seasons.

With division races still very much up for grabs in both the AL Central and AL West, the head-to-head match ups between the two clubs will go a long in helping the victors in their individual battles with the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers.

Considering that the AL East seems a lock to claim the wildcard berth in the American League, the hunt for the Central and West for divisions will only heat up.
