Yes, I’m sure you are saying: “It’s about time”, as after last week, we promised our analysis of the National League. Well, finally, here it is!

Hope you enjoy as we give you some thoughts on the National League teams and their chances to win the entire 16-team NL.

With the great starting pitching rotation of Roy Halliday, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels – the Philadelphia Phillies are run away favorite to win the National League. The Phillies have been there before, so expect them to know how to handle the late season pressures. Philadelphia comes into the season as 3 to 2 favorite at this point.

Second comes the San Francisco Giants. The Giants are the defending World Series Champions are the favorites in a weak and depleted NL West divison. The Giants have pretty much the same roster as last year, with a few guys gone, but they key guys back. Look for the Giants to get back to the postseason. They will have a tough time knocking off the Phillies in postseason play. The Giants are 6 to 1 to win the National League, and are a fan favorite when it comes to baseball betting online.

Next comes a mixture of teams. The Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals out of the National League Central, along with the Atlanta Braves out of the NL East are all 10 to 1. Surprising after the news of Adam Wainwright out for the season and the no extension of Albert Pujols that the Cardinals are tied for third as favorites. The Reds are the defending NL Central winner, but many expect their young pitching to not be able to hold up this season. The Braves are under new leadership for the first time in many many years after Bobby Cox retired. These three may not be awful bets at 10 to 1.

Colorado is next at 14 to 1. The Rockies are in the NL West with the Giants, and as we all know, defending champions seem to find ways to slip up the following season. At 14 to 1, the Rockies may be the best bet to make if you are looking to gamble, especially since tons of online sports betting sites are giving them better-than-average odds in 2011.

The last team we want to talk about is the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers come into the season at 20 to 1. With one of the better pitching staffs in the league, look for the Brewers to make noise all season long. The Brewers are 20 to 1 odds to win the National League this season, also a very nice bet for those looking to take some sweet money in October!

Good luck with all your MLB bets!

This week we are  going to break down the American League. Next week we will take our shot with the National League. The odds are released for teams to win the American League. We will take about a few of the top teams, their chances, and give you a dark horse pick.

As many of you would expect, the top two teams to win the American League are the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. And with the Red Sox offseason pick-ups, they are favored better than the Yankees. Boston is currently +150 to win the entire American League, while the Yankees are +250. Of course these are both good picks right now, because they are going to be dominate. The Yankees pitching didn’t get much, if any better, so we shy away from them a bit. The Red Sox this early are a pretty good pick!

Where are the defending American League champion Texas Rangers? Third. They are all the way up at +750. Josh Hamilton looks to be a man determined, and will carry the load again. Ron Washington finally has the respect he deserved as a manager. Look for the Rangers to win the AL West again, after that – it’s anyone’s ball game.

Coming in next are the Minnesota Twins and Chicago White Sox out of the AL Central. Both these teams are going to have good seasons, but not enough to win the AL. Sure, +800 and +1000 look sexy, but just going to be pesky, but fall short in the postseason.

Our pick to click is the Detroit Tigers. We like the Tigers quite a bit. Sure, we just got done saying the Twins and White Sox will have a good season, but so will the Tigers. This will be a strong AL Central field this season. Detroit is a good bet at +1400, because they have the talent to win the AL. If they put things together, and stay healthy – look out – it could be just like 2006!

Good luck. We will break down the NL next week!

One of the fun aspects of betting is future bets. With the Major League Baseball season coming up, we are going to take about one of the favorite future bets around. Each team is given odds to win the World Series. The odds change as changes occur to each team, so it’s not a bad idea to look early and get in on a bet early. Let’s take a look at a few of the teams:

Using one of the top sportsbooks around, BetUS, the Philadelphia Phillies are the favorite to win the World Series. At +300, the Boston Red Sox are the only other team with as good of odds. The Phillies are certainly the National League’s favorite after adding Cliff Lee to the mix with Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels in the starting rotation. Boston certainly made a big difference in their lineup, and now are favorite slightly ahead of the Yankees.

Speaking of the Yankees, they come in at BetUS at +500, for the third best odds. Many experts are really tearing down the Yankees and their starting pitching staff. Rodriguez and Jeter can break out at anytime, so there is no counting out the Yankees. New York is second in the American League. Out of the National League, the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants come in with +1000 odds. What a great money maker it would be for those people feeling San Francisco can win back-to-back titles. Place $1 down, win $1000!

Texas (+1500), Colorado (+1600), St. Louis (+1800), Tampa Bay (+1800), Minnesota (+1800), Atlanta (+2000) and Cincinnati (+2000) round out the top 11.

At the bottom of the league, some of the same old stories will continue. The Pittsburgh Pirates, who hold the record for most losing seasons in a row, are at +15000. Cleveland is the worst in the American League, coming in at 10,000, along with Houston and Kansas City.

Be sure to take a look at some of the best MLB predictions for betting that you can take advantage of now! Be sure to get on the future bet on who will win the World Series in 2011 today!
