Every American League Team’s Odds to Win the Pennant Entering June (AL East Teams in Great Position)
By Peter Dewey
It’s never too early to think about who is going to make the World Series, even if we haven’t even reached the month of June this season.
If you want to see how every team stacks up this season, you can check out our latest MLB Power Rankings or odds to win the World Series, but we are just going to focus on the American League here.
WynnBET Sportsbook has three American League East teams with shorter than 10/1 odds to win the World Series, and it makes sense given the firepower within the division.
Let’s break down the latest odds and see if there are any teams with value at this point in the 2022 season.
Latest Odds to Win American League in 2022
- New York Yankees: +280
- Houston Astros: +400
- Toronto Blue Jays: +450
- Los Angeles Angels: +700
- Chicago White Sox: +800
- Tampa Bay Rays: +900
- Minnesota Twins: +1400
- Seattle Mariners: +1800
- Boston Red Sox: +2500
- Cleveland Guardians: +4000
- Detroit Tigers: +15000
- Kansas City Royals: +15000
- Texas Rangers: +15000
- Oakland Athletics: +25000
- Baltimore Orioles: +50000
Twins, Red Sox Have Best Value in Odds to Win American League
The top contenders have shorter odds for a reason, but the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins have some value at their latest price.
Minnesota leads the AL Central division by 4.5 games heading into Tuesday’s action, and offseason moves for Carlos Correa, Sonny Gray and Gio Urshela have vaulted it into contention.
Boston, on the other hand, got off to a slow start in April, but it has rebounded nicely over the past month. The Red Sox made the ALCS last season, so there’s no doubt that this team is capable of making a deep playoff run.
Who Should You Bet to Win the American League?
At this point in the season, it seems like the Yankees or Astros have the best path to an AL Pennant, but the AL East is a tough one, and the Yankees could see the Blue Jays or Rays catch them this summer.
Right now, I’d avoid wagering on any of those teams at their current number with how competitive the division is. The Astros could be a valuable bet to make it back to the World Series again this season.
