Futures Update

A lot can change in the first month of the major league baseball season…then again a lot can stay the same.  We’ve already witnessed prolonged winning streaks from much maligned franchises in the Mets and Astros while some preseason favorites have struggled to find mid season form.  This is nothing new to a sport more akin to a marathon than a sprint where simply being in the race late in the year is all that matters.  As a result oddsmakers can’t over react to slumping or surging starts but they also don’t want to create liability in their future books for teams that might not fizzle as the temperatures rise.  Here’s a complete look at the future board’s biggest movers from late March
