2021 AL, NL, World Series picks

2021 AL, NL, World Series picks

The MLB season is quickly approaching and there’s no better time to think about bagging some futures. Rosters are getting finalized and we have a better idea of the injury situations around the league. We prefer to take our stabs close to the start of the year. It’s a tradeoff between having more complete information vs missing out on a better price that was previously available.

In our view there’s not enough talk about how much value you can get in the futures market. Here is the key. SHOP AROUND! Get as many outs as you can. You get to have a rooting interest for an entire season AND have the opportunity to hedge and lock in equity if you make wise choices.

Some final thoughts on sweet action in the futures/props markets. As always, will quote from three major sportsbooks.

MEGALOCKS says:

Will take a shot at beating the Yankees in the AL…..They are the team to beat but don’t love the price…….Tough to go against the Padres but we have a bit of sweet action on them already and the Dodgers are the best team in baseball (on paper) by a wide margin…..The Mets have the pitching to make a serious run and we love the addition of Lindor.

What is our SWEET ACTION?

To win the AL

White Sox +498 (75% unit)

Athletics +1175 (25% unit)

To win the NL

Dodgers +183 (65% unit)

Mets +576 (35% unit)

World Series

Dodgers +350 (75% unit)

White Sox +1175 (25% unit)

GL and Enjoy the season!!
