2. Houston Astros +400 (Last week: +360)

It’s not often that you see the Houston Astros go on a big losing streak, but that’s been the case over the last week. The defending World Series champs have lost five in a row, leading to their odds dropping from +360 to +400 to repeat as AL champs.

3. Texas Rangers +500 (Last week: +700)

The Rangers ROY Favorite is Powering the Offense

4. New York Yankees +750 (Last week: +700)

Are the New York Yankees relying on Aaron Judge too much on offense? With the reigning AL MVP out of the lineup, the Bronx Bombers have lost four in a row and seven of their last ten, leading to their odds dropping slightly from +700 to +750. 

5. (Tie) Toronto Blue Jays +1000 (Last week: +800)

After a strong end to May and beginning of June, the Toronto Blue Jays have really struggled to find consistency as the end of another month looms. The Blue Jays have lost three in a row and seven of ten, leading to their odds falling from +800 to +1000 over the last week. 

5. (Tie) Minnesota Twins +1000 (Last week: +800)

The Minnesota Twins are the leaders of the AL Central, almost by default. Minnesota fell under .500 and now sits at just 36-37 on the campaign. With their recent struggles, the Twins have seen their odds of winning the American League drop from +800 to +1000. 

7. (Tie) Baltimore Orioles +1700 (Last week: +1800)

 Consistency has been key for the majority of the year for the Baltimore Orioles, and last week was no different. The O’s have posted a 7-3 record over their last ten and have seen their AL odds bet down again from +1800 to +1700. 

7. (Tie) Los Angeles Angels +1700 (Last week: +2000)

If you’re looking for one of the hotter teams in the big leagues, look no further than the Los Angeles Angels. They’re coming off a loss but have still won seven of their last ten, which has led their odds of winning the Pennant getting bet down from +2000 to +1700. 

9. Seattle Mariners +3000 (Last week: +3000)

There hasn’t been a lot of memorable action surrounding the Seattle Mariners following a middling 35-35 record. After making the playoffs last season, it’s looking more and more like a longshot the M’s are competitive in the AL this season, where they continue owning +3000 odds. 

10. Cleveland Guardians +4000 (Last week: +3700)

The Cleveland Guardians remain right in the running for the AL Central crown, where they sit just two games back of Minnesota. Still, the Guardians haven’t done anything to separate themselves, dropping off slightly from +3700 to +4000.
