Baseball bettors have been sharpening their pencils and taking their shots at the 2010 World Series wagering odds.
New York Yankees Wagering
The New York Yankees are perennial favorites to capture the American League pennant and after winning the World Series last season, it’s no surprise that they are once again favored to capture the pennant again in 2010.
However, the Yanks will have a big distraction this season. As it stands, star shortstop Derek Jeter is going into the final year of his deal with the Pinstripes and you can bet it will continue to be a distraction until the situation is resolved.
“I was a Yankees fan growing up. This is where I want to be,” Jeter told the media as he was prepping for Spring Training in Tampa, Florida. “I’ve never envisioned myself playing anywhere else, and hopefully I don’t have to.”
It’s doubtful that the Yanks would allow Jeter to leave but then again, former Boston Red Sox player Johnny Damon said he would never sign with the Yankees and he did.
The Bronx Bombers are currently listed as the +150 wagering odds favorite to represent the AL in this season’s World Series. At this point, players at SPORTSBETTING.com have 26% of their action on the Yankees to win the American League.
Speaking of the Red Sox, the Yankees’ division and eternal rivals are also one of the annual favorites to capture the pennant.
Boston made a number of additions to its roster this offseason and amongst the new Red Sox, former Angels pitcher John Lackey, veteran outfielder Mike Cameron and former Seattle Mariners 3B Adrian Beltre. The BoSox are listed at +300 sports wagering odds to take the American League this season. The BoSox have 21% of the action to win the AL.
The 2009 Minnesota Twins won the AL Central division last minute last season, squeaking into the playoffs in the process.
While 2006 AL MVP Justin Morneau missed a bulk of the season with a stress fracture in his back, catcher Joe Mauer stepped up and took the league MVP honor last season. It should be noted that Mauer, like Jeter, is seeking a new deal.
Designated hitter Jim Thome and second baseman Orlando Hudson are amongst the new faces in the Twins’ lineup and Minnesota is listed at +1200 MLB wagering odds to take the American League pennant.
The Seattle Mariners have made a number of moves this offseason and amongst the new talent donning Seattle jerseys, pitcher Cliff Lee, who was a driving force behind the Philadelphia Phillies run to the World Series last playoffs.
However, Lee had surgery on his left foot close to a month ago and there were some doubts to what his status for the start of the season would be. Happily for people who plan to wager on the Mariners this season, the AP reports that Lee went through a full bullpen session recently and experienced no foot troubles. “I feel good. The foot’s fine. The body feels good, so now I need to get in shape and get off the mound more and catch up with everyone else,” Lee is quoted as saying.
Lee will play a major factor in Seattle’s rotation this year and who the pitchers go, the Mariners will go. The M’s also list +1200 wagering odds to take the AL pennant this season.

MLB Baseball Playoff Wagering: Hey, I’ll admit it, I’m one of those people who complain about how long the baseball wagering odds season is…but there’s something about October baseball and the annual Fall Classic that is truly magical…and makes the journey all worthwhile. 
Two of the best teams in the National League match up in Philadelphia on Tuesday as the Phillies (59-44) host the Colorado Rockies (58-47) at 7:05 PM EST. The Rockies have won four straight on the road and are very much in the Wild Card race while the Phillies are starting to pull away in the National League East. Philadelphia won 14 of 17 at home in the month of July as they averaged 6.9 runs per game. The Phillies did not play that well on the road last week though as they went 3-4 including a 7-3 loss on Sunday.
