It's the game we all love, the game dubbed ''America's Pastime'' no less. It is the oldest professional sport and oldest professional sports league in the United States. Because of its traditions, it refuses to call its playoffs ''playoffs'' and instead continues to refer to them as the 'post season'. It's championship games are called the 'World Series', even though having just one Canadian team and 29 American teams in a 30 team league could hardly be described as involving the world. It is Major League Baseball, or the MLB as it is more popularly known these days.
Apart from boxing, or prize-fighting as it was called in the 19th century, baseball remains the sport that fans have traditionally loved to bet on, and still do in their multi-millions to this day. If you wish to follow a great American tradition and bet on Major League Baseball, be sure to check out our free MLB picks at FreeMLBPicks.net.
