St. Louis Cardinals
After a down season that saw the St. Louis Cardinals finish last in the NL Central with 71 wins, the Red Birds are looking to bounce back in 2024 and capture the NL Central crown. The Cardinals enter the year as division favorites, with multiple players on their roster looking to regain their form. Signing Sonny Gray helps, while it's not hard to expect bounce-back campaigns from Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado. Add in some strong youth like Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker, and you can see why many are bullish on the Cardinals going from worst to first in 2024.

Kansas City Royals
After a dismal stretch for the Kansas City Royals, this could be the year they dig themselves out of the AL Central basement. This team, led by Bobby Witt Jr., has plenty of young talent. The Royals weren't shy in free agency and added some talent to their rotation, which should help them mightily in 2024. We're not saying the Royals will go out and win the AL Central, but the division is there for the taking. The Royals' win total is 73.5, and there's value in the over.

Kansas City Royals AL Central Odds: +950

San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants are a longshot in the NL West because of the powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers, but that doesn't mean we didn't like their offseason. In a market that has favored teams looking to add in free agency, the Giants have made some clever additions to their roster, including Jung Hoo Lee, Jorge Soler, and Matt Chapman. These three additions should help bolster a Giants offense that needed more pop. The Giants can contend for a wild-card spot in the National League.

Detroit Tigers
It's about time the Detroit Tigers take another step toward being competitive in the AL Central. With an intelligent offseason in the books, it's time for the Tigers to put up or shut up on the diamond. This club has a potent mix of youth and veterans, which should help them stay in the mix for the division crown. They'll need some of the bets they made in their rotation to hit, but if one of Jack Flaherty or Kenta Maeda hits, the Tigers should be in business in a very winnable division.

Detroit Tigers AL Central Odds: +360
New York Yankees
Even after the Baltimore Orioles emerged last season and won the AL East, the New York Yankees entered the 2024 season as the favorites in the division. There are some questions about Gerrit Cole's health, and if those become more glaring, the Yankees will need to open their checkbook and sign one of the free-agent starters still looking for a home. For now, adding an MVP candidate in Juan Soto to the lineup immediately bolsters a group that missed out on the postseason in 2023. Will the Bronx Bombers return to the dance in 2024?
