Major League Baseball - the Cincinnati Reds are Underrated in the NL Central

The Reds are on top of their division and their odds are still long enough to bet.

The Cincinnati Reds are a surprise team so far this season in Major League Baseball as most teams approach the half way point of the regular season.  The Reds were not expected to be outright leaders in the NL Central as St. Louis lead by Albert Pujols were the pre-season favorites.  However Cincinnati have compiled a nice 46-35 record so far and that's good enough for first place in their division, 2 games up on the Cardinals at time of writing.

Divisional race odds are not the easiest thing to come by in baseball futures betting as most sportsbooks prefer to offer future lines only on the World Series or the Championship Series.  However Stan James and Ladbrokes do both offer regular odds on the pennant races and Stan James have the best price on the Reds at the moment, that price being +170 (17/10).

If you are registering with Stan James be sure to enter the site via this link to claim a free bet that can be used to back Cincinnati in their drive to a divisional title.
