The National League has 4 favorites ahead of the odds on fave Jays to win the 2016 League Pennant. It is a more top-heavy league for sure. I am just not sold the Cubs shouldn’t be the overwhelming favorite here.

I love watching the odds fluctuate when deals are made in the Major Leagues.  I often keep my mind on the European Oddsmakers.  There is some hardcore nice value for your buck in betting some cash on the American and National League Pennant winners currently.

The Cubs should be the overall favorite to win both the National League and the World Series.  At +450 this is a fantastic odd.  I am not calling it a best bet of the week though.

With most gambling establishment having the Red Sox at around +1000 for the World Series – this +900 mark for the AL Pennant is a lights out value. Pounce on it.

I absolutely love the Boston Red Sox at +900 in the AL while I favor the Arizona Diamondbacks having a +2000 odd in the Senior Circuit.

I have seen the odds for both clubs to win almost parallel at other sites for just the World Series alone.  Bet these totals all day long.

The other best odd I considered was the Tigers at +1500 for the AL Pennant.  With the revamped Bullpen and addition of Jordan Zimmermann – this club will be a lot better in 2016.  They also may add a player like   Yoenis Cespedes – which would catapult them into the best team in the Division in my view.  Sorry to the Royals.

The Rangers are still receiving too much love despite being the reigning AL West champs.  I am not convinced they are better than the 2015 squad, and the Astros seem to be acquiring players all over to become better.

The +500 odd for the Blue Jays is an intriguing look at the favorite in the American League.   This is a fair value odd.  I am just not sure they are that much better than the Red Sox, and with Boston you have the value at +900.

I am not sure why this website also loves Cleveland so much.  Again it is a far stretch to say they are favored much better than the Tigers in the AL Central.

Pittsburgh also has got to be thrown down for the odd they received here too.  There is no way they should be tied with the Cardinals for an odd, and just +200 by the Chicago Cubs.

St. Louis can still rally with a Free Agent signing to join the atmosphere of the Cubs.  Should they reply with a Johnny Cueto or Chris Davis signing, the NL Central would be within grasp again.  The Cards are right about where they should be here.

The D’Backs are listed on most gambling sites as a 16/1 odd – and you have them at 20/1 for the Senior Circuit Pennant. This is the best value wager of the week and I implore you to throw some cabbage down on this. The club added Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller over the last week and should compete for a playoff position in 2016.
