How to Read MLB Futures Market

There are several types of futures markets relating to the end-of-season showcase – the World Series. You can wager on the odds to win World Series 2021. Alternatively, you can wager on the winner of the American League pennant or the National League pennant. The winners of each pennant go on to compete against each other for the World Series.

If you want to understand the odds of these MLB futures markets, you need to learn how the American odds format works to master your baseball betting.

Negative numbers usually denote the favorites and positive numbers tend to denote the underdogs. However, in the futures MLB World Series odds 2021 market, most teams are positive given the plethora of permutations that can happen during a regular season of MLB betting.

Let’s say that the New York Yankees were priced at +800 to win the World Series 2021. This means that for every $100 you wager, you will win $800 if the Yankees go on to take the Commissioner’s Trophy – plus your $100 stake back. It’s easy to work this out for smaller wagers too, with $80 returned on a successful $10 wager on the Yankees’ World Series odds.

You will most commonly find negative odds in Moneyline MLB markets. The negative price will be the pre-game favorite. Let’s say that the Yankees were priced at -120 to defeat the Chicago Cubs. The negative price shows how much you would need to wager to win $100 – in this case $120. For smaller wagers, you would need to wager $12 to win $10.

How to Bet on the MLB World Series

There are so many ways to bet on the World Series apart from the outright World Series odds 2021 market. If you don’t fancy the current odds to win the World Series 2021, you can always consider alternative markets. Runline markets are popular, enabling fans of underdog teams to ‘bet against the spread’ or fans of pre-game favorites to bet on their teams to ‘cover the spread’ i.e. win despite a pre-game run handicap.

It’s also possible to wager on how many games the World Series 2021 will last. The Series is a best-of-seven-game event, with the first team to win four games crowned the champion. Instead of the team-based MLB odds to win the World Series, you can also find prop bets for MLB teams and even individual players. You can wager on certain players to reach milestones such as home runs, hits or extra-base hits.

It’s also an option to include a team’s odds to win World Series 2021 as part of a broader parlay bet, which could involve the several sporting events.

MLB Betting Strategy

The MLB World Series rarely throws up a surprise winner. It’s not often that an MLB franchise has come out of the blue to win the Commissioner’s Trophy. The San Francisco Giants were priced as +2500 contenders in the 2014 MLB odds to win the World Series. The Giants would go on to take the crown, resulting in a major payout for Giants fans and savvy bettors. There are some MLB franchises that have never been good enough to win a World Series. The Seattle Mariners are the only team never to win the Commissioner’s Trophy or reach a World Series.

The LA Dodgers remain the heavy favorites in the odds to win World Series 2021, with most US sportsbooks tipping them to become the first team to win a hat-tick of successive World Series titles since the Yankees in 2000. The San Diego Padres should not be discounted either, with their star shortstop Tatis Jr. and starting pitchers Darvish, Snell, and Musgrove some of the most feared in the MLB.

The most common match-up in the World Series is the Dodgers Vs Yankees. This event has occurred 11 times in MLB history – and it’s still highly possible the two teams could lock horns in the 2021 World Series. The Yankees are still sure-fire contenders to win the American League pennant ahead of the White Sox. The Dodgers will likely have to overcome the Padres to reach the World Series this year.
