MLB Power Rankings –With sneak peak by Mybookie.ag

The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals came into the season with plenty of pressure and expectations in the AL Central, especially as the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Indians have improved. However, the Tigers and Royals have shown themselves to be very strong teams as they are were unbeaten through the first two series of the season. They have won their first six games. Read more about MLB betting favorites in this 2015 review.

The Detroit Tigers swept the Minnesota Twins and the Indians to start the season but lost their first game to the Pittsburgh Pirates to go 6-1 to start the season. Star player Miguel Cabrera is still a stud for the Tigers and went .517 in his first seven games with 9 RBI. J.D. Martinez also has 9 RBI plus four home runs.

Meanwhile, the pitching has not been hurt by the departure of Max Scherzer or Justin Verlander’s injury. David Price has not given up a single earned run in 14.1 innings. The same can be said for Shane Greene, Joe Nathan and Tom Gorzelanny. It is no surprise that the Tigers have 6/1 odds to win the ALCS and 10/1 odds for the World Series.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals are out with the goal of trying to show that their ALCS title from last year was no fraud. The Royals only have 16/1 odds to win the World Series and 8/1 odds to get their second straight pennant.

The Royals swept the White Sox and Los Angeles Angels to start the year. Yordano Ventura won both his starts so far this season and has a 2.31 ERA. Wade Davis has also been reliable from the bullpen as he has pitched in four one-inning efforts and has not given up an earned run. Greg Holland also has pitched three perfect innings for three saves.

As for the Royals’ offense, Salvador Perez may be an interesting figure to watch for. He has a .417 average with three home runs and 8 RBI. In fact, the team’s 39 RBI is far greater than the 15 the Royals have given up.

The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals should be interesting to see in 2015 and they are good MLB betting favorites. However, they should be aware of their AL Central competition just as well as there are plenty of teams that could compete with them this year.

In particular, the Cleveland Indians are at 9/1 to win the ALCS and 20/1 to win the World Series. The Royals are 2-4 and will miss Yan Gomes for two months with a knee injury. Still, Corey Kluber has been a proficient pitcher with 17 strikeouts in 13.2 innings.

Meanwhile, the Chicago White Sox have 12/1 odds to with the ALCS and 25/1 odds to get a Series win. Chris Sale’s injury and the question of when Carlos Rodon will be added to their rotation have floated around the team throughout the start of the season. In addition, the White Sox only have a .237 average and Jose Abreu only has one RBI.

The Minnesota Twins are also long shots at 66/1 to win the league and 150/1 to win the Series. At 1-5, the Twins may be afterthoughts if they keep struggling. This is in spite of Joe Mauer’s .300 average.
