MLB (Major League Baseball) is the highest level of professional baseball in the world and is made up of 30 teams split up into two leagues, the American League (AL) and National League (NL), with 15 in each. Each league is subsequently divided into three divisions, with five teams in each.
It is the oldest professional sports league in the United States and Canada – and has long been dubbed “America’s Pastime”. From a bettor’s perspective, with 30 teams playing 162 regular season games (that’s a huge 2,430 games in total if you were wondering), there is never a shortage of opportunities for baseball betting online, which makes it popular among experienced and novice gamblers alike.
