MLB Play­off Odds Bet­ting Man’s Guide to the Sea­son
The NY Yan­kees are the favorites to win the World Series, fol­lowed closely by the NY Mets, the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox. The Los Ange­les Angels and the Los Ange­les Dodgers could surprise.

As cer­tain as the winter’s snow melts in the spring time, a new base­ball dawn is like­wise upon us. Fans around the world famil­iar­ize them­selves with the per­son­nel changes to their favorite team. Many of them have stu­diously reviewed the ros­ter moves made by Major League fran­chises over the win­ter and are anx­iously await­ing the advent of a new cam­paign as well as the MLB play­off odds for the upcom­ing season.

Fans com­prise the major­ity of the pub­lic who, each spring, lay down their hard-earned money on the team they pick to win the 2007 World Series. The sport of base­ball, as no other, has had a string of medium–to-long shots gar­ner the top prize over the past half dozen years. The Ari­zona Dia­mond­backs, the Cal­i­for­nia (nka Los Ange­les) Angels, the Florida Mar­lins, the Boston Red Sox, the Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Car­di­nals were each crowned Champs from 2001 through 2006.

Will another long-shot come out of nowhere this year, or will the favorite finally ascend the win­ners’ cir­cle? The MLB play­off odds offer the reg­u­lar bet­tor as well as the occa­sional dab­bler the oppor­tu­nity of par­tic­i­pat­ing in a seven month long con­test, wind­ing up with all eight play­off teams eli­gi­ble for the grand prize.

Accord­ing to the Amer­i­can line odd­s­mak­ers, the NY Yan­kees and the NY Mets stand at the top of the board at odds of 3–1 and 5–1 respec­tively. Last year’s win­ner, The St. Louis Cards, are a middle-of –the field 15–1 due to a shaky start­ing pitch­ing staff and an aging out­field. Last season’s Amer­i­can League Champs, the Detroit Tigers, stand at 6–1 odds while the improved Boston Red Sox are 7–1 to take the title. Amer­i­can League play­off teams, the Min­nesota Twins and the Oak­land Ath­let­ics (12–1) are next and the 2006 World Series win­ner, the St. Louis Cards, are at 15–1 along with the Phillies, Angels, Dodgers, White Sox and Astros in the sport­book. A $100 wager on the Kansas City Roy­als would yield a $4000 return for the bet­ting man, and the sport of base­ball would have an upset of the mag­ni­tude of the 1969 Mets.

So, what do the experts know? Step up to the bet­ting win­dow and put your money where your mouth (or heart) is and wager some dough on the team of your choice. The Los Ange­les Angels, Philadel­phia Phillies and the St. Louis Cards, all booked at 15–1, all stand-out as solid picks while the San Diego Padres (20–1) and the Cleve­land Indi­ans (25–1) are the best of the rest of the litter.

So, dust off your glove and adjust your cap because a new sea­son is upon us. The MLB play­off odds tell the tale.
