MLB odds: Dodgers, Astros, Brewers, White Sox lead Divisional futures
Now that the MLB baseball season is gearing up, baseball futures bettors are getting a good look at the odds to determine if there's value in the divisional races.
Although it's early, any information gleaned from the lines can pay big dividends throughout the season.
Will the Los Angeles Dodgers powerful lineup hold off the San Francisco Giants after losing the AL West by one game last season? Can the big bats of the New York Mets overtake the NL East from the defending champion Atlanta Braves? Will the Chicago White Sox completely run away with the AL Central by All-Star Break?

Ben Verlander breaks down his power rankings for week two that includes the Los Angeles Dodgers back at the top, the St. Louis Cardinals finally cracking the top 10 and the Houston Astros falling from the top spot all the way down to the sixth spot.
- The Chicago White Sox (-213), Los Angeles Dodgers (-250), Milwaukee Brewers (-143) and Houston Astros (-189) are all overwhelming favorites to win their divisions, with the White Sox and Dodgers laying the most juice.
- Favorites that offer the best odds to win their division are the Toronto Blue Jays (+145) and The Atlanta Braves (+140). The New York Yankees (+240) and the Tampa Bay Rays (+300) are close behind the Blue Jays, while the New York Mets (+150) are nipping at the Braves' heels. These two divisions are primed for an exciting race this year.
- The Minnesota Twins (+600) offer value in the weakest division of baseball if the White Sox (-213) get hit with major injuries or fail to live up to expectations.
