Where MLB Futures Stand at the One-Quarter Mark

It is mid May and most major league baseball teams are past the 40 game mark. There's obviously plenty of baseball left to be played but we definitely have a good idea about what win total wages are looking good and which ones are looking not so good, and also which teams World Series odds are looking like good bets and which ones are looking like bad  investments. Here we can look at Las Vega’s top 10 odds on favorites to win the 2018 World Series and raise the commissioner's trophy. Just this week the New York Yankees leap frogged the Houston Astro's as the odds-on favorite to win the 2018 World Series 

The New York Yankees odds to win the World Series before the season started was 9/1 and now after the first 40 games are 5/1 and their win total before the season was 94.5 and they are on pace for 112 wins. 

The Houston Astros are right on pace as their World Series odds have stayed at 11/2 since the season opened and they are on pace for 98 wins which is right on the Las Vegas total win odds of 97.5.

 The Boston Red Sox prior to the season where a 13/1 to win the World Series and I'm now currently 13/2 the Red Sox season when odds were 91 1/2 and they are on pace for 108 wins.

 Chicago cubs through 40 games are under achieving and there are ads which start of the season at 8/1 have moved up to 10/1. The  Cubs are on pace for 89 wins which is 4.5 wins less than the 93.5 they will need to meet Las Vegas’s expectations. 

The Arizona Diamondbacks are a surprise team thus far and are on pace for 94 wins which is 7.5 more wins than the 86.5 win total set by Las Vegas before the season started. The Diamondbacks preseason odds to win the World Series will also 33/1 and on now 12/1 after the first 40 games. 

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim or also big surprise you're having start of the season at 55/1 to win the World Series,And as of today they are down to 12/1.The Angels preseason Las Vegas win total was set at 85.5 and the angels are currently on pace to win 94 games. 

The St. Louis Cardinals started the season at 25/1 to win the World Series and are now down to 14/1 to win it all and their pre season win total of 85.5 looks like a good bet now as the Cardinals are on pace to win 94 games

The Washington nationals are currently 16/1 to win the World Series which is a little bit of a disappointment if you bet the nationals prior to the season at 9/1 to win it all. Washingtons preseason win total was set at 94 wins but the Nats are currently on pace to win only 91 so If you're at nationals fan or wagered on them to win the World Series you might want to play it at 16/1 knowing that they haven't been healthy nor have they played their best baseball. 

The Atlanta Braves are by far the biggest surprise and are playing extremely well for a team that start of the season at 300/1 to win the World Series and had a win total of 74.5 prior to the season starting. The Bravos are now 18/1 to win the World Series and are on pace to win 100 games. The future looks bright in Atlanta. 

The Cleveland Indians have certainly been a major disappointment thus far having gone from 7/1 all the way to 18/1 to win the World Series this year.  The Cleveland Indians had win total odds of 94 before the season started and are on pace for to go 81-81.  We think Cleveland has a big run in them and can still get into the playoffs. Currently 18/1 looks like good value right now and something we will be getting some action on. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been the biggest disappointment of the season thus far for sure. The Dodgers are on pace to lose 100 games as they are currently 16-26 and off to their worst start in decades. Los Angeles is also behind pace for that 94 wins Vegas set as their odds total. Again, this is a play where the Dodgers have a big run in them and they have the talent rebound when they get Justin Turner back. We will play the Dodgers at 20/1 now knowing they were 7/1 only a few weeks ago.There’s a lot of baseball to be played and over the next 120 games the Dodgers could bounce back get on the kind a run they got on last year even without Seager. Los Angeles has the talent and make up a lot of ground quick and still backdoor into the playoffs.
