MLB Betting Sleeper Teams that Could Steal Their Division

The Major League Baseball season is right around the corner. We have spent much of the off-season discussing some of the best teams in the league, and their betting odds to win the World Series. But, every season we see a team or two that steals the division, that comes across as a sleeper.

Let’s take a look at the Major League Baseball betting sleeper teams that could steal their division title, with one in each of the six divisions:

2024 MLB Betting Sleeper Teams that Could Steal Their Division Title | Baseball Betting Analysis for the Season

2024 MLB | 155th edition of professional baseball in United States
Wednesday, March 20th – Sunday, September 29th, 2024
162 Games | 30 Teams

Toronto Blue Jays

National League East

The Tampa Bay Rays have found ways to win the division several times in the past. What about the Toronto Blue Jays? Certainly still a team with a bunch of thump in the lineup. Toronto added Justin Turner to the middle of the order. He should help the lineup extend from 1-9. The rotation for Toronto will be anchored by Kevin Gausman, with Jose Berrios and Chris Bassitt behind. Toronto is 4/1 odds to win the division, and seems like one you can’t pass up when looking for sleepers.

Cleveland Guardians

National League Central

The Guardians are going to need some bats to come to life in 2024. Steven Kwan, Andres Giemenz, Jose Ramirez and company will need some assistance from the bottom of the lineup. This is not a division that will need to be elite to win it. The Guardians will see Shane Bieber, Triston McKenzie and Gavin Williams anchor the front of the rotation. The Twins are the favorites to win the division, and the Tigers appear to be trending upwards, but make room for Cleveland, they are going to be a team to watch. They are +350 to win the division.

Seattle Mariners

National League West

The defending World Series Champion Texas Rangers are in this division. They are bringing much of their roster back from a season ago, and are not the favorites to win the division. The Houston Astros still seem to be the most talented team. But, Seattle is going to be right in the mix again. The Mariners are going to use guys in the rotation that have been question marks before, but have talent. The offense is going to see Julio Rodriguez have another big season, and the addition of Jorge Polanco should add some thump in the middle of the lineup. Do not overlook the Seattle Mariners in 2024, and at 3/1 odds, give them a look when betting the American League West winner.

Philadelphia Phillies

National League East

The attention is once again going to be on the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. And there is a good reason for that. The Braves are an outstanding baseball team. But, do not forget the Phillies have been to the NLCS the past two seasons. The ability to keep Aaron Nola in the rotation was massive for Philadelphia. The lineup once again is stacked, and will see power and speed from top to bottom. Rob Thomson has another really talented team, and at +310 to win the division, it’s worth taking a look at them.

Cincinnati Reds

National League Central

Elly De La Cruz is going to be fun to watch in a full season with the Reds. He has all the tools, and it will be interesting to see if he can put it all together. Graham Ashcraft, Frankie Montas and Andrew Abbott are going to lead the front end of the rotation. Cincinnati is a team that will go overlooked in a very average division, at best. The Cardinals and Cubs lead the way, but the first to 85 wins will likely win this division. At +340, they are worth the wager.

San Diego Padres

National League West

Mike Shildt is now the manager in San Diego, and we know from his time in St. Louis, he is not here to mess around. The Padres lost Juan Soto, but still have a talented lineup anchored by Tatis, Machado and Bogaerts in the middle. The Padres will rely on big seasons from Joe Musgrove and Yu Darvish, but at 12/1, with all the attention on the super team in Los Angeles, do not forget about these Padres.

There you have it. Keep in mind, none of these six teams are favorites to win their division as we move along in the first full week of March. They are sleepers for a reason, but teams we like to contend and potentially steal their divisional title. Enjoy the rest of Spring Training, and best of luck with all your Major League Baseball betting!
