Will Dave Roberts' steer the Dodgers to glory in 2022?

"The Dodgers are 9/2 favourites to win the World Series and their nearest rivals are the Toronto Blue Jays 15/2."

The Major League Baseball season starts on Thursday and, at the beginning of a long and hard campaign, it's the LA Dodgers who are the clear favourites for World Series glory in 2022...

The opening games of Major League Baseball's 162 game season (and to think footballers complain of playing too much) take place on Thursday night and it's the LA Dodgers who are the clear favourites to take the title in 2022.

The Dodgers are 9/2 to win the World Series and their nearest rivals are the Toronto Blue Jays 15/2.

Defending champions the Atlanta Braves are 10/1 to retain their title but you have to go all the way back to 2000 for the last successful World Series defence when the New York Yankees completed their hat-trick of wins.

The illustrious Yankees are 11/1 in 2022 as they bid to take baseball's biggest prize back to the Bronx for the first time since 2009.

The betting goes much deeper than the World Series winner market and there are a range of ways you can step up to the plate if you fancy a wager this season.

Twelve teams will make the play-offs this year and you can bet on which you think it will be on the Sportsbook.

There also markets on the conference winners as well as the exact finishing order in each conference.

The seasons gets underway with Cleveland Guardians travelling to Kansas City Royal in the AL Central and Seattle Mariners at Minnesota Twins.
