At the beginning of preseason MLB betting future market action, the New York Yankees were an understandable favorite. The Bronx Bombers combine branding and a record of success to rate one of baseball’s elite brands. As a result of so much casual market betting action, the Yankees are perpetually overpriced. Especially when playing at Yankee Stadium. But the squares don’t care. To the masses, the Yankees at home is a great bet. Regardless of price and value, that never changes. By contrast, the Toronto Blue Jays are an anonymous brand. Toronto is a quality team at a discount price.
