Nothing new in the AL West this year. There’s the Astros, and then there’s the other four. It makes the job of sorting out MLB win totals somewhat easier: Give Houston a lot, give Oakland nada, and deal with the other three squads. Those three squads in the middle — Los Angeles, Texas and Seattle […]
When it comes to MLB win totals, the odds market has the highest of expectations right where one might assume: The Los Angeles Dodgers are projected to lead all of baseball. And Dodger Blue will have to reach 100 wins to cash your Over ticket. But Los Angeles did that and more last season — […]
The AL Central presents a bit of a conundrum when you’re putting together the division’s MLB win totals puzzle. (Except for the Royals.

As is the case in the National League, most of the pitchers atop the 2022 American League Cy Young odds board are right-handers.

Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to reflect the injury status of New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom, who will be sidelined for at least the first month of the season.

The National League MVP odds board includes multiple Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves players — and, in one case, someone with recent ties to both teams. But the runaway preseason favorite happens to be last year’s NL MVP runner-up — and he happens to play for a team that’s projected to be one of […]
The American League MVP odds market features a slew of powerhouse names at the top of the betting board — all 30 years old or younger.
