Although the Major League Baseball (MLB) season will not start until March 26^th, punters can get some early-bird bets for the 2020 season. Last year’s World Series champion, Washington Nationals are given a decent chance. However, the bookies have called out LA Dodgers with the best 2020 MLB National League betting odds. Let’s take a look.

The MLB is divided into two leagues. The older one is the National League and its counterpart is the American League. Each league has 15 teams which are divided into three separate divisions: the East, Central and West. Find out our complete guide for each division and which team is likely to fend off all competitors to make it to the final.

The defending National League and World Series champions are the Washington Nationals. However, ‘The Nats’ advanced to the playoffs as a Wild Card. That means that they did not win their group but had the best runner-up win-percentage. The play-off consists of the three group winners and two runners-up with the highest ratio as Wild Cards.

2020 MLB National League Betting Preview for Each Group

MLB National League East: Atlanta Braves to Overcome Defending World Series Champions Washington Nationals

Last year’s group winners, ‘The Braves’ are backed by online sportsbook sites in the US to complete the feat for the third year straight. However, despite topping the National League East division, ‘The Barves’ were knocked out by Central group toppers, St. Louis Cardinals.

Although Atlanta needs a catcher, cleanup hitter and a starter, they are still top contenders to win the group. The Washington Nationals are also expected to be up there and could retain another Wild Card for the upcoming season.

MLB National League Central: St. Louis Cardinals to Battle it out with Chicago Cubs

Our 2020 MLB National League betting predictions could not be more difficult when it comes to the Central division. Even in the middle of July last season, the Pittsburgh Pirates were within 5 ½ games from first place. They went on to finish last in the group.

So, as the season draws ever closer, our best bet is to stick with either last year’s winners, ‘The Cards’, or to back ‘The Cubs’ to go the distance. Both teams are rated in the top seven to become National League champions, and face of the American League victors in the best-of-seven World Series final.

MLB National League West: No Question Marks Here: Los Angeles Dodgers Heavy Favorites to Clinch Group Top Spot

‘The Blue Crew’ are massively tipped by online sportsbook news in the US to tie down top spot again. ‘The Boys in Blue’ have won the National League West for seven straight seasons. However, despite their success in the group, they have only won the National League playoffs twice. Both times, they lost the World Series final to Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox respectively.

However, they still remain the best team in the group and are also favorites for the bookmakers’ 2020 MLB National League betting odds.
