MLB futures odds 2024: World Series predictions, win totals, best bets, picks by proven baseball expert
Written by CBS SPORTS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED on February 26, 2024
MLB Opening Day 2024 is set for March 28 and with MLB spring training games rolling, baseball bettors across the country will be looking for the best values in the 2024 MLB futures markets. MLB win totals are always popular markets and the New York Yankees will be hoping that the offseason acquisition of Juan Soto helps push them towards World Series contention. Their over/under for total wins is currently 93.5 despite the fact that they only managed 82 in 2023.
So which side of that total should you be playing, and is there any value betting the Yankees at +800 in the 2024 World Series odds? You can often find the most value betting MLB futures earlier in the season and having some expert baseball betting advice can go a long way towards turning a season-long profit.

Top 2024 MLB futures bets
Some of Cimini’s top 2024 MLB futures advice: He says to stay away from the Atlanta Braves (+450) with your World Series bets. The 2021 World Series champions have piled up 205 wins over the last two seasons and often looked like the most dominant team in baseball in the process. However, they followed up both of those 100+ win regular seasons by being bounced from the MLB playoffs in the NLDS.
The Phillies sent the Braves packing in four games both seasons and now Atlanta will have an even stronger Dodgers squad to deal with in the National League after a season of absurd offseason spending. Los Angeles added Shohei Ohtani, fellow Japanese sensation Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow and Teoscar Hernandez (among others), while shelling out about $1.2 billion in new contracts. Ultimately, Cimini knows that Atlanta is loaded but expects opponents’ pitching depth to be a problem in the postseason. See Cimini’s best MLB futures bets at SportsLine.
