The Major League Baseball is one of the most popular sports in the world despite being a North American sport. MLB runs throughout the year, but interest generally ramps up during the World Series. Popularly known as the Fall Classic since it takes place in winter, MLB World Series is an intriguing and intense competition.

It is a reason for the highly competitive MLB betting odds. Prior to the 1969 season, the competition accepted teams based on the win-loss record from the regular season. Since then, a play-off is conducted to determine qualification. This has brought about difficulty in terms of baseball betting predictions for the World Series.

Key Details

Teams from the AL and NL leagues have regularly competed the qualification stage with the former slightly edging with 64 wins compared to NL’s 47 wins. A total of 111 editions of Championship qualification series has taken place until 2015. Betting on baseball will see an increase during the seven game play-offs, which ultimately decide the winner of the World Series. The Commissioner's Trophy is given to the victorious team.

Major League Baseball World Series odds are hugely affected by the form during the regular season and the past records. The 2015 World Series event saw New York Mets and Kansas City Royals meet each other in the fight for the title. The latter came out successful after an early lead in the series, which they never relinquished. The victory helped Kansas City Royals get only their second title in history. More importantly, it helped them overcome a 30 year wait for the title. Baseball predictions are likely to focus on the successful teams like Cleveland Indians for the 2016 edition.

MLB Predictions 2016

Few would have been able to predict Cleveland and Chicago coming up in the World Series, but the two teams have done extremely well on different fronts. Chicago Cubs have to overcome Los Angeles Dodgers in order to reach the finals. Dodgers will be keen on adding to the solitary title won in 1988. They have never reached the final since then. Indians have not won the title since 1948, but the team are favourites according to the baseball odds.

Chicago Cubs are hopeful of reaching the final stages for the first time in their history. The home-field advantage coupled with the added advantage makes Indians as favourites for the event. Even though Chicago may have a better record, they would be aware of the difficulties in winning a World Series title. Truth is, the Chicago Cubs look unstoppable in the National League, and they will most probably defeat the New York Mets in the NL Pennant Series. The Blue Jays have not won a World Series since 1977, while the Chicago Cubs last won in 1908. We think the Toronto Blue Jays will win the 2016 World Series.
