MLB 2024 Season Overview

There haven't been too many surprises as we work through the Major League Baseball regular season. To win outright, the Los Angeles Dodgers were the favorites in the offseason, and this remains the case with the Los Angeles Dodgers sitting in first place over in the National League West after the capture of Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Angels.

However, the likes of the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Yankees are right behind LA in the fight to become the World Series champion. 

As we approach September, these three teams are at the top of the future bets, but we have also seen impressive seasons so far for the likes of the San Diego Padres and underwhelming seasons from teams like Toronto Blue Jays, the Boston Red Sox, and the New York Mets in the American League.

Best MLB Players to Look Out for this 2024 Season

Although the most common bets are parlay bets and moneyline bets on a given game, a popular bet for baseball fans is using player prop bets. This is where you bet on a player to do something in the game, and for this, here are the best MLB players to look out for this MLB season.

1. Ronald Acuna Jr. - For the first time in an MLB season, a player hit 40 home runs and took more than 70 bases. Ronald Acuna Jr. was that man, and although 2024 hasn't quite gone his way with the Atlanta Braves, he remains one of the best MLB players around right now. Ultimately, after hitting a historic 40-70 season, there was no way he was going to match this and get even better.
2. Shohei Ohtani - Much of the Dodgers' excellent season so far comes as a result of the excellence of Shohei Ohtani. Appropriately nicknamed "Showtime", Ohtani was well on course to have one of the greatest seasons we have ever seen in 2023 and could have maybe finished with over 60 runs and 100 RBIs if it wasn't for his unfortunate torn UCL in August. He left the Angels for the Dodgers this season and signed the most expensive contract in professional sports history.
3. Corey Seager - Corey Seager of the Texas Rangers won his second career World Series MVP when he was the standout player in helping the franchise win their first-ever championship.
4. Aaron Judge - The New York Yankees are having another great season in 2024, and Aaron Judge is continuing to prove why he is one of the best around and worthy of the famous New York Yankees' captaincy. To put in perspective the importance of Judge, when he got injured last season, the Yankees' entire season got completely derailed.
5. Mookie Betts - Another key figure of the Dodgers is Mookie Betts. Betts hit 39 home runs in 2023 and 107 RBIs, and his accolades as a two-time World Series champion, seven-time All-Star and six-time Silver Slugger speak for themselves. Big things were expected in 2024 for Betts, and he has not disappointed at all.
6. Trea Turner - The Philadelphia Phillies are well in there with a chance to get to the World Series with a fantastic season so far in the National League, and much of this has been down to the efforts of Trea Turner. 2023 started out slowly for Turner, but he finished the season with an incredible 266/.320/.459, 26 home runs, 76 RBIs, and 3.4 wins above replacement, and he continues to show why he is one of the best in MLB right now in 2024.
7. Juan Soto - In the eyes of many, Juan Soto is perhaps the best in MLB right now. At just 25 years old, the Yankees' star is already a World Series champion, and alongside Judge, he is the franchise's best chance at getting another World Series championship. Soto put in 275/.410/.519, 35 home runs, 109 RBIs, and 5.5 wins above replacement in 2023.
8. Freddie Freeman - The Dodgers' team in 2024 really is something special, and Freddie Freeman is another key figure to the success of 2024 so far. Freeman is as consistent as it gets, and at 34 years old, he is seemingly only getting better and is once again at the top end of the MLB leaderboards in batting averages and RBIs.
9. Yordan Álvarez - The Houston Astros' star man is arguably the best pure hitter in baseball at just 26 years of age. Yordan Álvarez has already the World Series title back in 2022 and is a two-time All-Star.
10. Mike Trout - No doubt a future Hall of Fame inductee, Mike Trout is an 11-time All-Star and three-time American League MVP all before his 33rd birthday. Year in, year out, Trout is one of the best players in MLB.

Must Watch Teams of the 2024 MLB Season

Everyone has a favorite team, and from a total of 30 MLB teams, there are a few to keep an eye on when two teams clash in Major League Baseball. Let's take a look at some teams to consider when going to bet on MLB. 

New York Yankees

More often than not, the New York Yankees are towards the top end of the futures bets and rack up most of the runs scored throughout the season. The Yankees have won the World Series championship 27 times and won the American League East Division title 20 times too. This makes them arguably the most successful sports franchise in the United States and one of the most recognizable brands across the globe.

In what has been another excellent season for the Yankees so far, you can all but guarantee they will be in the MLB playoffs when the postseason comes around.

Los Angeles Dodgers

With arguably the best roster in MLB right now, some of the best MLB odds and prop bets can be found with the likes of Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and Shohei Ohtani. The Dodgers are the clear favorites to win the World Series title this year, as they are storming to a National League West title.

At the top of the futures bets in baseball betting, Los Angeles has been the team to watch all season long. 

Philadelphia Phillies

As the favorite to win the National League East, the Philadelphia Phillies is having a remarkable season with it even winning more games in the National League than the Dodgers at the time of writing. In fact, it is all the way down at -20000 just to make it into the MLB Playoffs.

Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves has one of the best rosters in MLB, including one of the best starting pitchers, Spencer Strider, and the record-breaking, Ronald Acuña Jr. The latter racked up a ridiculous record of runs scored last year and became the first player to get a 40-70 record in MLB history. The Braves are tracking down the Phillies in the race for the National League East title.

Baltimore Orioles

Another American League franchise to keep an eye out for your baseball betting odds in 2024 is the Baltimore Orioles. The current MLB betting odds to win the World Series see the Orioles narrowly behind the Yankees, as the National League teams dominate the future odds this season.

How to Bet on the MLB with our Odds 

There are many betting options for the two teams playing in a baseball game, and we'll always put together the best MLB odds, best prop bets and best MLB spreads so you can get the most out of MLB betting. 

Here are ways to bet using our MLB odds. This is also where you can use your bonus bets, as some sportsbooks allow you to use your bonus credits on a range of betting options.

MLB Points Spread Betting

Point spread betting is a popular way of betting in baseball and other sports. An MLB spread is another phrase for "run line", where a team is given a point spread of 1.5 runs (or more, depending on how big of a favorite a team is). This then means that the team you bet on to win the game against the spread must win by two or more runs to cover the spread.

MLB Money Line Betting

The odds table here at Bettingodds.com will list all the moneyline favorites for the upcoming games via unbiased computer picks and our team of experts' predictions. Moneyline betting is to win the game outright and nothing else.

To place a bet to win the game is the most simple form of betting and is therefore one of the most popular ways to bet on a baseball game in MLB betting.

MLB Total Betting (Over/Under)

Another way to bet on a baseball game is the MLB totals betting, which is also known as the over/under market. This is where you are betting on the number of runs scored on the run line throughout the game. This can come in the form of the number of runs in the whole game, or the number of runs in extra innings, for example. 

MLB totals usually have quite low odds.

Parlay Betting

Parlay betting will end up on the final game ending. There will be a potential payout throughout the parlay, but it is up to you if you want to take that payout or keep the parlay bet rolling. We will also list all the best MLB parlay bets right here. 

To make a parlay bet, you must have two or baseball games on your selections. For example, the Tampa Bay Rays to beat the Colorado Rockies, and the Baltimore Orioles to beat the Toronto Blue Jays on the moneyline.

Prop Betting

MLB prop bets are a great way to get more out of baseball betting. This is where you bet on something that wouldn't necessarily define the final outcome of the game. For example, betting on Aaron Judge to get a home run, or betting on Garrett Crochet to get a over/under 6.5 strikeouts.

Other sports also offer prop betting, and we'll list all the baseball odds for prop betting right here.
