        <div><div><h3>MLB Betting in 2019</h3><p>One of the best things about Major League Baseball is there’s always a game tomorrow. That’s the cliche MLB teams use to get over a loss, and it’s something bettors should remember throughout the season.</p><p>There’s no waiting until next Sunday to bet on the Cubs or White Sox. Bettors don’t need to sit on a loss for a week like in football. At the same time, betting baseball requires discipline with options on run-lines, moneylines and totals seven days a week.</p><p>Baseball is harder to adjust and react to for oddsmakers and bettors both because of the sample size. A losing streak by the Red Sox or winning streak by the Orioles won’t dramatically change future lines.  Analytics are increasingly available to help bettors know when to bet the Cardinals or fade the Dodgers. Slumps can create value in the futures market while hot starts can be deceiving. We’re here to help provide the information to make your decision.</p><p>Also, keep in mind live-betting opportunities. Wagering after a game has started has became a major part of the baseball betting experience.</p></div></div>
        <div><p>The <a href="https://www.betchicago.com/cubs-betting-odds">Chicago Cubs</a> have been in National League and <a href="https://www.betchicago.com/2019-world-series-odds-betting">World Series contention</a> the past four seasons. Working their way up from five straight years at the bottom of the <a href="https://www.betchicago.com/mlb-betting/standings">NL Central standings</a> has been part of their storied turnaround that has helped bettors profit. While the 2019 season got off to a rough start, our <a href="https://www.betchicago.com/mlb-betting/standings">MLB standings</a> show vital information for how the Cubs, and <a href="https://www.betchicago.com/white-sox-betting-odds">White Sox</a>, are faring at home, on the road, and over their last 10 games. </p><p>The White Sox have been in a similar position of its cross-town rivals as the South Siders look to climb out of the AL Central standings and into World Series contention with a plethora of young talent. It's only a matter of time before the feisty White Sox are streaking up the <a href="https://www.betchicago.com/mlb-betting/odds">MLB oddsboards</a> and into the playoffs.
