As the MLB Betting Offseason Wears On, More Rumors Arise
The MLB may be enjoying the offseason but there is still plenty of action for sportsbook fans to stay up to date on. The offseason gives fans the opportunity to follow trade deals from when they began as a rumor to the point where they came into fruition. These offseason transactions are what help shape the face of all 30 MLB teams and will ultimately determine which teams remain in playoff contention. For that reason alone, it’s important for fans to remain up to date with all the latest happenings around the league and their implications for baseball betting futures lines.
2016’s World Series MLB Betting Preview
Entering the 2016 MLB betting season, the top sportsbooks had the Chicago Cubs pegged as the favorites to win this year’s World Series. Several months down the line, the Cubs have failed to disappoint and are on their way to proving several preseason predictions true. Coming into the season, there were plenty of reasons to jump onto the Cubs bandwagon, but seeing Chicago pull through is still a momentous occasion. After all, the last time the Cubs made the World Series was back in 1945, and the last time they won it was in 1908. You know, the year of the Tunguska event. So to say that the city of Chicago is ecstatic would be an understatement, especially when considering the horrors they’ve had to endure at the hands of the city’s NFL team.
The schedule for the World Series has been announced
Major League Baseball has announced the schedule for the 2016 World Series, the first time since 1997 in which Cleveland MLB betting fans will be able to wager money on the Indians. Here it is: October 25, NL Champion at Cleveland Indians, Progressive FieldOctober 26, NL Champion at Cleveland Indians, Progressive FieldOctober 28, Cleveland Indians at NL Champion, to be determined

Why A-Rod deserves to be in Baseball’s Rogue Gallery
On August 12th, 2016 MLB betting fans saw the last of Alexander Emmanuel "Alex" Rodriguez. Why is A-Rod not getting a season-long victory lap like David Ortiz? There is one very important reason for that; people actually like Big Papi. And that’s a good thing; more power to him. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that being disliked, or even hated, as Rodriguez is, is actually a bad thing, especially in sports. Everybody rants and raves about sports heroes. Michael Jordan is a sports hero. Jackie Robinson broke barriers. Muhammad Ali is a role model.
