The new-look MLB season appears to be edging closer to us, plans are in place for things to get back underway shortly.
There have been many changes already to the season, which are going to change the way things are and potentially give some teams a bigger or smaller chance of winning.
The season wins total line that bookmakers create is a popular line for gamblers to bet on. This allows you to bet on one individual team and their performance throughout the season. Perfect for fans of that team, while those who like to focus on certain teams and try to win money based on their fate can also use this market to their advantage.
Los Angeles Dodgers Season Wins Odds
The line used is an over/under so the odds on offer are very similar to every bookmaker. What you are looking for here is not the odds, but the line that is on offer, to determine where you want to place your bets.
The line for The Dodgers this season has been set at 37.5 or 38.5 depending on the bookmaker you are using. That means the bookmakers are predicting them to win between 37-39 games this coming season from the 60 they are now scheduled to play.
Bookmakers such as those listed on newbettingoffers.co.uk will offer lines for this type of betting across the entire MLB, with each team given a number that you can bet over or under on. If you are looking for a way to place one bet on the entire MLB season and have an interest throughout then this is the kind of market you need to be looking for.
The Rest of the League
Elsewhere, it is always great to look at these markets to see how the bookmakers are placing each team. The higher their line, the more games that the bookmakers think that team will win.
The Dodger and the New York Yankees are the two leading teams in this department, being the only teams to have lines that are 37.5 or greater. This means that the bookmakers expect these two to be the leading teams this season, and before a ball is thrown, you would have to agree with that.
Elsewhere, at the other end, Baltimore has a line as low as just 20.5 with some bookmakers, with Detroit having a line as low as 21.5 so these are the teams that the bookmakers expect to struggle this season.
There are many aspects of the return to play a schedule that could affect teams in either a good or bad way which is going to make this season even more fascinating than most we have seen before.
That is going to affect anyone who is placing a bet on the season, and early games are going to be crucial to things, how teams adapt with the new rules in place and if they hit the ground running. Look out for positive training camp reports too, which will show where a team is.
This promises to be a great, and very different, MLB season.
