Dodgers Dominate 2020 National League Pennant Odds

Dodgers Dominate 2020 National League

Seven consecutive National League West division titles make the Dodgers an understandable MLB futures betting favorite.  Los Angeles won the National League pennant in 2017 and 2018.  Last year they won 106 games before an upset loss in the National League Divisional Series.  As much as the Dodgers have going for them the wild card of a 60-game season is worrisome.  And that is where bargain hunting gamblers come into play.  The National League does offer some viable alternatives.  And at far better prices.  The 2020 MLB season is a once in a lifetime crapshoot.

CashBet 2020 Odds to Win National League Pennant Betting Overview

At the onset are the Dodgers the obvious sportsbook betting choice to win the National League pennant.  That is the precise problem many veteran MLB handicappers have with Los Angeles.  It’s the mindless public choice.  Also, keep in mind that despite a 106-win season in 2019 the Dodgers did NOT win the National League pennant.  This year’s 60-game schedule and four-month delay only add to the overlay concerns.

The Team that Has it All Except a Title

Los Angeles has the highest payroll and revenue in the National League.  Namely, Clayton Kershaw and Cody Bellinger are superstar mainstays.  Mookie Betts arrives in a trade from Boston to secure the leadoff spot.  Few divisions are as mediocre as the National League West.  Yet LA’s price tag is so high that no value is offered.  Notwithstanding all they have LA’s last World Series title was in 1988.

The Accidental Champion Now Respected

Last year the Nationals were written off for dead when they started 19-31.  Washington had the fourth worse record in baseball at that moment.  Yet when it was all said and done, they were World Series champions.  That lesson is not lost on gamblers for this 2020 season of 60 games.  The loss of Anthony Rendon is the cloud in the sky for the season ahead.   Overall, the Nats may be a better team than 2019.  Offsetting that is the fact that teams no longer take them lightly.

Reds Rising for a Return to Glory

Veteran gamblers remember the Big Red Machine of the 1970s.  For all that the Reds are known for now, they were once gold with MLB odds.  Cincinnati had, by all accounts, the best offseason in Major League Baseball.  Infielder Mike Moustakas, with outfielders Nick Castellanos and Shogo Akiyama has ignited hopes.  Of course, the Reds last winning season was in 2013.  Gamblers associate them with futility.  But an eight-win improvement in 2019 with this new help has Cincy looking like a sleeper.

An Underachiever Primed to Achieve Once More?

Joe Maddon was the most successful manager in Cubs history.  Indeed, it was Maddon that ended the World Series curse in 2016.  Chicago has remained a top contender since that epic run.  But Maddon’s shelf life expired.  He moved on to the Angels.  Starting with the National League’s second-highest payroll is a capable team.  And at a good price.

Redbirds Set to Soar for More

Manager Mike Shildt led the Cardinals to their first postseason since 2015.  Account of quality pitching did St. Louis re-find its traditional formula for success.  A quiet offseason has handicappers wondering if the Redbirds can do it again.

Another Tomahawk Choke for Braves?

Compared to other teams the Braves are money in the regular season.  The end result has been perpetual playoff humiliation.  Atlanta should win its third consecutive National League East title.  Leadoff man Ronald Acuna with starting ace Mike Soroka is tandem for success.
