The first half of the 2021 MLB season is in the books! The All-Star Break has come and gone and we enter the second half of the season with an AL East rivalry matchup this evening. Here at NBC Sports Edge, we’re ready to provide you with the tools to help you along the way this season. The baseball season is a marathon, and the All-Star Break was a welcome one, but we’re excited to get into the gritty second half. Our Betting Tools take advanced statistics into account to point to a definitive edge when placing your wagers. We’re always striving to provide an edge via our premium tools to help you find the most value from first pitch all the way to the final out of the World Series, ensuring you can make the most informed decisions possible the whole way.
Stacked with content aimed at providing the knowledge you need to evaluate the right edge to gain when browsing the sportsbook options — from weekly rankings, rest-of-season projections, game predictions and exclusive expert columns to our top trends, live odds and our newest feature in MLB game predictions — we’re confident that our latest EDGE+ Roto, EDGE+ Pro and EDGE+ Max packages are the best we have ever produced.
Today we’ll look at the updated Futures odds, specifically for the World Series. Our Futures tool allows you to see which teams and players have seen their odds rise and fall over the course of the season, giving you insights into the line movement in search of the best value wagers as you sift through the highs and lows.
Let’s see which teams have seen their odds shift significantly since the start of the year:
Houston Astros - World Series Winner (+600)
The Astros have seen a considerable shift in their World Series odds and now sit with the second-best odds to win it all.
Boston Red Sox - World Series Winner (+1000)
The Red Sox are another team with a huge jump in the championship odds, from as high as +4500 back in March to +1000 today, good enough for sixth-best in the league.
New York Yankees - World Series Winner (+2500)
Meanwhile, after a disappointing first half, the Yankees have seen their World Series odds inflate, from a season-opening +500 up to +2500 as of the All-Star Break.
L.A. Dodgers (+375), S.F. Giants (+1200) - World Series Winner
Another feature of the Futures tool is the ability to select multiple teams and see how their odds have shifted in comparison to one another. For example, you see how the surprising Giants have climbed their way up to +1200 behind their NL West rivals, the Dodgers, who have remained steady around their current odds of +375 all season.
