The Red Sox are proving to be the team to beat for the 2011 baseball season as gamblers load up on the betting favorites in MLB betting odds to win the American League but it is the Philadelphia Phillies who are the clear choice in National League pennant odds at +140.
Dubbed the best team ever in franchise history by Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, the 2011 Philadelphia Phillies enter the MLB betting season with probably one of the deepest rosters in Major League Baseball. With Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels, it's easy to see why the Philadelphia Phillies are not only the gamblers choice to win in 2011 National League pennant odds but also to win the world series at +300.
The second MLB betting choice in National League Pennant odds are last year's champions, the San Francisco Giants, who are listed at +600. Not bad National League pennant odds for a team building on a championship season and also have players like Andres Torres, Miguel Tejada and Pablo Sandoval to control the game. Despite being reigning champions, the Giants are +1400 longshots to win the World Series.
Three teams enter the 2011 season as the third MLB betting choice at +1000 in 2011 National League pennant odds which include the Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds and Colorado Rockies. Veteran pitcher Tim Hudson is in form and ready to lead the Braves to a National League pennant while Bronson Arroyo of the Reds and Felipe Paulino of the Rockies plan to do the same for their respective teams.
