In the United States, the 2011 Major League Baseball season is finally in its cruising stage. The early season jitters are over. Two solid months have gone by and the teams from all six divisions spread over two leagues are getting into their rhythm. This is the time of year when we first start to see how the season could play out. Some teams are up at the top of their divisions the way we would expect them to be. Others are surprise teams. They are playing well and shaping up a fine season. No one could have predicted their success, but they came out of the gate running and have proven not to be a flash in the pan. Other teams are playing below expectations, and some teams are just meant to be cellar dwellers. Those who enjoy baseball love the sport because the season is long. Baseball teams are built for the marathon. Every team is going to have some up times and some bad times. Every team is going to see injuries and key players sit out games. The teams that do well are the ones that can survive the bad times and take advantage of the good times. They are the ones that can make key roster moves and player trades. Those who enjoy gambling on sports love Major League Baseball for the same reason. Their are plenty of short term bets to make, but there is the long term for those to consider. Gamblers can play out the season making adjustments as they go.
Online sports gambling sites love Major League Baseball too. It may not be as flashy as NFL Football or the March Madness basketball tournament, but the long season can be profitable and fun. This year’s darling team, so far, is the Philadelphia Phillies. For the past three or four years, the Phillies have been leaders in the National League. They won the World Series in 2008 and made strong showings well into the playoffs the past two years. They show no signs of slowing down this year. Online sports gambling sites such as, 32RedBet has the Phillies at 11/5 to make it through the long season and win another World Series title. Others like BetSaq have them at 233/100, ToteSport and Intertops have the Phillies at 5/2 while BetFred and Paddy Power are offering 11/4 odds.
More exciting online sports gambling is coming from the American League East. This division is considered to be one of the toughest in al of sports. This year almost every team in the division has held or shared first place. As always the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees are at or near the top with the Tampa Bay Rays flirting with greatness. Online sports gambling sites such as Boyle Sports have the Red Sox returning to the playoffs and winning the World Series at 3/1. Bwin has them listed at 16/5. The Yankees are drawing odds at 13.2 from online sports gambling sites like BlueSq, SkyBet and Paddy Power. Even the Rays are getting some good odds at various sports gambling sites.
